Made from the plans of the famous naval architect Chapman, the Wasa had a shallow draft for sailing near the shores of the Baltic Sea. Source : Edited April 15, 2017 by Major General La Fayette 8
Aventador Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 Looks like a trinc mixed with a bellona or 3rd rate
_Masterviolin Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 Hm, interesting. Personally, she's not the most attractive ship out there with that blank bow and unfortunate color upon the stern there- yet, she commands majesty for sure. I wonder what her combat characteristics will be!
JollyRoger1516 Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 Yeah looks to be in a better state then the 17th century Wasa
Axel Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Not too keen on white but it is definitely not bad ill just have to get used to a white ship. Cant wait to sail around a Swedish ship. Bork Bork Bork!!!

And if you ever sailed the frigate ingame - she is a chapman ship, too. swedish origins. So technically you can already sail swedish vessels.

Sweden was chronically poor and from 19 ships launched during the reconstruction of the swedish navy only 6 vessels actually got a figurehead. All frigates - none of the ships of the line.. Sad story but historically correct. The stern? Well you should wait for some more screenshots. Cause if the devs modeled her according to her RLmodel you will be in awe^^ The black thingy you propably mean is a little shed. The rudder helm is covered from musket fire and in general the crew is very well protected from the sides and above, too.. The white is welcome news compared to the appearance of black on our ingame ships atm. This other paint scheme would be interesting if we didnt have markers upon our ships ingame. Cause this combination of colours makes it hard to see if there are one or two gunrows: 1

BungeeLemming Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 A sistership the Dristigheten: Note the different stern gallery. Not sure what to think about this but hey.. She has a figurehead Something about these cannons: The chapman slide carriages. Designed to recoil "uphill" and pushed back outboard with the help of the angulation. The slide were fully wooden and apparently in heavy heavy fighting they started to smell The smell of charcoal.. 2
