would you be interesting in a list of country-specific technology names (IE replacing 406mm early 8-gun main battery with 16"/45 Mark 1 for US and 41 cm/45 type 3 for japan)

I have a list of some modules already (mainly US/Japan, and some for UK/GER). While I won't say no to help with it, I can't guarantee that it wont be atleast slightly duplicated effort.

if you're already working on us/♥♥♥/uk/ger, would you like some france/italy/sov stuff?

Would you like help in designing AI historical ships? i love this mod but it can be lacking because the AI doesn't seem to make newer or better ships, historical or not.

AI is what I am working on at the moment, but if you want to take a look through them and suggest improvements, feel free. Currently Japan has the best AI for ships up to CA's, and will get BB/SHBB/BC/CV today. After that Im gonig to update the generic designs with things I learned from doing Japan and then move to the USN.

German Navy Stuff:

Some general Information: Germany used secundary guns (15cm) on battleships and on the Panzerschiff-Deutschland Class,Heavy Anti-Air on Heavy Cruisers, Battleships and Panzerschiff 10,5cm this can be considerd as Dual Purpose gun and light Anti-Air motsly 2 cmand 3,7 cm guns.
Light Cruisers had 8,8 cm guns as Heavy Anti-Air.

German 12,7cm guns had 12,8 cm diameter in reality.

L/XX is the barrel lenght in caliber

Cruisers:
Emden

8x 15cm L/45 C/36 used on CL Emden (single mounts)
3x Flak 8,8 cm L/45 replaced with 3x 10,5 cm C/32 in 1944 (single mounts)

Königsberg Class

9x 15 cm SK C/25 (L/60) one source called it Sk 15 cm L/60 (the single gun, not the mount)
mounted in Drh. LC/25 (triple turrets)
2x Flak 8,8 cm L/76 dual mount on Königsberg
3x Flak 8,8 cm L/76 dual mount on Köln and Karlsruhe

Leipzig Class


9x 15 cm SK C/25 (L/60) one source called it Sk 15 cm L/60 (the single gun, not the mount)
mounted in Drh. LC/25 (triple turrets)
3x Flak 8,8 cm L/76 dual mount on Leipzig
4x Flak 8,8 cm L/76 dual mount on Nürnberg

M-Class

4x 15-cm-SK C/28 L/55 perhaps in Drh. LC/40 (dual turrets)

Admiral-Hipper Class

4x 20,3 cm SK C/34 (L/60) on Admiral-Hipper Class Heavy Cruisers in the Drh. L C/34 (dual turret)

12x 10,5 cm S.K. L/65 C/33 on Admiral-Hipper Class Heavy Cruisers in Typ C/31 (dual mount)



Pre-dreadnoughts:

2x SK 28,0 cm L/40 in two dual mounts

17 cm SK L/40 guns max 14 casemated

DANGER!!!! I found Video fotage were the casemated guns were used during the attack on the Westerplatte in 1939:

at 0:31 sec.

And this drawing:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_Schlesien#/media/File:Schlesien_(Linienschiff,_Stapellauf_1906)_in_Brockhaus_1937.jpg

were the ship has 5 casemated guns per side from 1937

but i found no source that clearly stated 17cm guns were used at that point

just like the casemated gun data the AA complemt data are unreliable, in video fotage of the Westerplatte bombardment tracer of fast firing guns are visible so some 2 cm AA guns are possible.
Best version of the Westerplatte Bombardment:

First finished version, if it is needed I try to find Informations about Sonar or other things

I don't know if this classifies as helpful but maybe we should set up a topic that for Naval Rework 2 cover submods, addons, compatability patches/version mods, and anything in general meant to be used or can be used in conjunction with NR2, just saying having a corner with that would be good.

Also a request corner that either the author of NR2 or other modders could respond to requests from the growing NR2 community would also make it better than perhaps ask it in the mod comments in both cases if it is something that takes more than 1000 letters basically.

Sure, I'll put something like that up.

@Elouda , need help with Soviet specific tech names of the period? Like guns, fire control systems, radars and etc.?

Guns I think Im pretty well sorted on, though I wouldn't mind a second opinion. FCS, Radar, Sonar, etc. would be very helpful. For reference, here's what the Radar tiers mean in US equivalents, if its of use to match them up with;
USA_nrm_radar_1:0 "XAF Radar"
USA_nrm_radar_2:0 "CXAM Radar"
USA_nrm_radar_3:0 "SC Radar"
USA_nrm_radar_4:0 "SC/SG Radar"
USA_nrm_radar_5:0 "SK/SG Radar"
USA_nrm_radar_6:0 "SK-2 Radar"
USA_nrm_radar_fc_3:0 "SC Radar & Mk3/4 Radar FC"
USA_nrm_radar_fc_4:0 "SC/SG Radar & Mk4/8 Radar FC"
USA_nrm_radar_fc_5:0 "SK/SG Radar & Mk8/12 Radar FC"
USA_nrm_radar_fc_6:0 "SK-2 Radar & Mk12/13 Radar FC"

Hey there - just wanted to pick your brain! Love the work you've done here, I haven't modded since HOI3 days so wanted to ask your experience. I'm super keen to make a Plane designer for MTG but am only at concept stages for now. Based on your experience making this mod, do you think it's possible? Or does it look like its only hard-coded to ships atm?
Thank you!! :-D

I made a fix for the politics. Are you fine with the way I marked my version or shall i change something?
EDIT: BTW Feel free to copy paste the updated data just in case you still need it

@elouda above there was posted a list of stuff for germany. Last time i checked the mod there are german guns "missing". 381mm instead of 380mm, 127mm instead of 128mm, 152mm instead of 150mm ect ect ect. since the guns are nearly the same, the stats could stay the same. My question would be if you did something codewise or shall i try to do it and give you the new files

The localized modules aren't in yet, will take a look at those soonish. Sorry its been a while.

AI do not know how to design ship,or be very bad.
at the game beginning , we don't have any ship can work.
because they all have not any component. ............. Sad
