Upgrade modules graphical representation so that we can see what we are facing (list included)

[Destraex]

This would give even more use for the telescope in battle. You could spend time while being chased observing the other ships upgrades. Keen eyes knowing what to look for.

Barricades - Barricades graphically shown on deck - this one is easy

Boarding Ladders and Ropes - Boarding ladders and ropes shown on deck ready to go

Copper Plating - As the ship heals copper plate sheets are shown under the waterline

Extra Hammocks - Extra crew on deck or more folded hammocks shown on deck

Extra Planking - Extra wood planks shown bolted on sides? Or just looks thicker than normal model of that ship

Extra Pump - Extra pump outlet shown on deck - one is shown on deck for most ships in game already.

Grenade Suppliment - Bags of grenades shown on deck

Grog Rations - Crates of spirits shown on deck

Improved Magazine Access - Loblolly boys with ammo shown coming out to deck and back

Lightweight ropes and blocks - lighter coloured wood shown in rigging

Muskets and Pistols - extra muskets and pistol lockers shown on deck or hanging around loose locked to railings and such like spare spars?

Optimised Ballast - WELL This one is damned hard to show... except if a few left over stones in a bucket are shown on deck

Optimised Rudder - A sleaker version of the rudder shown.

Pellews Sights - If you look at the cannon on deck you can see a different sight for aiming? Or gunners look a little different uniform colour scheme wise. Like they still wear indefatigueable caps from that ship? Something to set them apart as ace gunners. A feather in their caps... something historical and accurate but uniformly different from other crews.

Re-enforced rudder - thicker rudder shown

Re-enforced masts - masts have re-enforcing or look slightly thicker

Rum Rations - Rum barrel and ladel shown on deck

Speed Trim - No idea what this is even meant to look like?

Steel Toolbox - Steel Toolbox on deck shining away

Turning Trim - No idea what this is even meant to look like?

Well I guess it was only me.

No it would be very cool but for some reason it seems lots of gamers play on word processors rather than real computers. I remember every time even the smallest graphics update was added to wot or wt people from certain servers would just lose their minds.

So we all are reduced to playing the lowest common denominators.

I wouldn't mind sprites to be honest. There's little to own to old jagged edges of old and would be a good compromise regarding performance. Scourge of War uses them and is perfectly playable and pleasing to the eye.
