Will we see a more authentic color for this Victory?  Contrary to popular belief, Victory was not painted with "yellow ochre."  I'm not sure what she would have looked like in 1778 (when she was launched), but the famous 2013 study by Peter Goodwin that challenged her traditional Trafalgar appearance and the scientific tests which followed confirmed that Victory was painted with "bands of graphite grey and in a colour that ranged from a creamy-orange to almost salmon pink" on the day of the battle.  (http://hms-victory.com/restoration-log/hms-victory-repainted-battle-trafalgar-colours)

Here's an artist's depiction from 1779, which shows Victory to have been payed with a yellow-brown paint above the wales 

Pink royale pink is the historical pink. But the original victory did not have stripes and ours wont have stripes too. Those paintings of the original victory paint are in the National Maritime Museum.

This is completely unacceptable, if it is not detailed enough to crash our computers every time it a port loads in it, it must not be detailed enough!!!

Honestly, this looks awesome, your  modelers are doing great work!

Between wars, gank and trading, we all forget, how beautiful this game is

sure it is, but a painting can also be beautiful and you can only look at it.

Very good looking! Is she deeper in the water, seems like the gunports are very close to the waterline? Hope Update is near now!
