Update

Hey everyone,
So recently my college has started online classes so that has been taking up a lot of my life rn. This is just a general update since many of yall are too busy to read blog posts. SO here are the things I want to discuss

What's Happening with H-44?
Don't worry, the series isn't canceled. Currentley I have an idea for a chapter but not much "meat" on it so to speak. The plot of the next chapter is that Hanz's raiding group sets out to start fighting the pirates with the goal being to resestablish a safe trading sea lane between Equestria and the other nations. The plan will be for them to sale from Horshoe bay east clearing out a safe zone for shipping to be reestablished between the Griffon Empire and Equestria.

Any suggestions to flesh out the adventure are welcome
Project 131 status?
Project 131 is currently in a state of hiatus as I am trying to figure out how to unite all the tanks together wihout sounding unnatural. So far the only ones that have motivation to go immediately are Verona, and her japanese companion. So finding a good reason for all of them to meet is difficult.

Any suggestions are welcome

New story ideas?
so as you probably have seen, I created the prototype collection for yall to read some potential story ideas and comment on them. My personal favorite right now is Armored Mecha Dreadnought, a mech story that I think some of you may like, and if you like a story enough I'll try to expand upon it. Currently, Armored Mecha holds the record for single longest chapter Ive made with its pilot being over 2500 words on its own.

Whelp thats all the updates for now. Hope you enjoy the stories and please check out Armored Mecha Dreadnought if you have the time. I really think fans of this series would enjoy it since it involves large metal creations going to war.

Till next time, This is Sanguine Blade signing off

Wouldn't it be better to make these blog posts? Or both. That works too.

The reason they werent was becuase not everyone reads the blogs

HE, lots and lots of HE.

HE: high explosive.
The author should include a generous supply of it. It would really help with the pirates.

High-explosive fragmentation Incendiary might work better against wood boats tho

Doubtful. The ships it's firing on have effectively have no armour. It's entirely possible that even the kinds of shells you mentioned would pass through without detonating. The secondaries may fare better, but they'd still need extremely short fuse times.

On the bright side, the sheer size of main gun's shells would likely do catastrophic damage. The H-44 was to be armed with 50.8cm (20") main guns. These are lolhuge, and would probably make short work of wooden ships. This is coupled with the fact that its targets would be extremely small, and wouldn't have much in the way of countermeasures for flooding.

To put the size of this monster and its guns into perspective, the Yamato was 263m (863 ft) long, displaced 70527 tons, and carried 46cm (18") guns. The H-44 would have been 345m (1132 ft) long, and displaced 129000 tons, along with carrying the previously mentioned 50.8cm guns.

Man, I hope you could update this fic soon, there aren’t many naval fics on this site and yours is on of the best so far

hay do more chapters:heart:

Is it canceled or not? Last update say no but the status say canceled.

I agree unless magic in use... HMS Victoria and her sister Howe were to carry 120 guns and only half if them were 8 inch ( they weren't designated as 60 pounders because their load usually varied and was typically lighter), those were heaviest ships of that era, afaik.

Did you ever look at space battleship Yamato 2199 😇😇😇

hay do more chapters:fluttercry:
