now everythink fine thx for help :)
Is this still a 54 gun ship in the game? she is really a 42 gun.
56 actually, because of the new bow chasers. in real life she is rated at 44 guns, but that was not the number of guns she carried. in her time, frigates often carried 8-12 more guns than their ratings.the real ship is armed similarly to the one ingame.
Actually, the ratings of guns differ because of the types of guns carried. Ships were only technically rated based on the number of long guns, (standard cannon)on board. The Constitution's main deck guns were shorter carronades at the time.
well that was the theory yes, and the royal navy kept up that practice for many years with long guns in the wake of the shrouds and carronades elsewhere (on the uppermost deck only) but the constitution has only 30 main deck broadside long guns, and counting chasers a total of 34 long guns. as far as I know the constitution switched over from having long 12s on the QD and f'csle to carronades without having a mix of the two types. by 1812 gun ratings for frigates weren't really accurate, and after 1815 the royal navy changed its rating system to reflect the actual gun count (0ld 38=46, old 36=44, old 32=40 or 42)
My most favorite model in the game. Excellent modeling.
