Let’s see what weird and wonderful designs we can come up with using the new tools in RtW2. Especially carriers, missiles, seaplanes, and YUGE battleships.
I’ll contribute some as soon as I get my hands on the demo.

Apparently I am one of the lucky folks who snagged the demo before it was removed for emergency repairs. The new ship parts have me excited about image possibilities, though both of the "generate ship image" attempts for the DD and AV had some sort of bug, the hull of the AV didnt render at all, and the bow of the DD was separated from the hull. Still this has me more hyped than I was a week ago.  S E A P L A N E S  showing off new partset |

A couple ... er, useful ... CVLs I made out of old Japanese CLs with the original demo file: |

Ive tried to push all the Flight operation research i could but i did not advance 1 lvl in 5 ears so i presume its purposely turned off for the demo, this is what i could come up with tho^

That’s what I gathered when I couldn’t research any flight operations after 5 years with top priority with max research. |

 I ain't much at making 'em purty, but they do the job. |

On my fourth go round of the demo I finally clued in to that and started building 16k ton CAs specifically to convert. Not really worth it for 14 biplanes but I wanted to see how aviation worked!
I built a seaplane cruiser that retained its armament plus 16 seaplanes but I could never get it to launch. I clicked the pop-up asking to halt, but no luck.

Frustrated that you couldn't convert anything over 16k tons into a CVL. The Japanese seem to always start with CAs just over that weight limit. The same often happened with their Pre-Dreds(Though the UK often starts with convertible Bs). So instead of converting to CVLs on one of my run throughs I decided to see what could be done with a Pre-Dred converted to carry a heavy float plane contingent. I specifically designed a pair of them so that it wouldn't take more than six months to make the conversion. It remains a Battleship and I haven't gotten one into combat yet but I imagine they'd be good distant station ships for a small period. Once the full game is delivered I'll be attempting something like this as the French or USA...see what they're capable of. Attachments:

Interesting ship. 18 knots means it's not going anywhere in a hurry, though. |

Limited in what I could do with an existing ship and a 6 month refit window. Bump it up to 12 months and I could have replaced the coal burners with speedy oil burners and then it could get up to 21 or 22 knots. |

Air research is as in the regular game in the demo, but you cannot expect too much to happen before 1925. |

Not sure if 'weird' per se, but certainly ugly. Used to be a 12x12in 21knot BB from the legacy fleet.
Also, this made me notice something - perhaps CT armour should be adjustable? Theres historical cases for this aswell with refits (QEs for one, same with the US Standard BBs with new superstructures in WW2), and it would make sense for CV conversions like this.

 In attempts to make the cheapest carrier rebuild possible, I may have gone too far... |
