Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts 100% Walkthrough for Beginners

You win the campaign by either forcing the opposing nation to want to make a peace treaty, or by getting the opposing Naval Director fired for overspending.

Destroying warships, sinking transports, and building a massive disparity in tonnage are all effective ways of forcing the AI to capitulate.

The strategic map has several things you need to know about. You will have a battles alert prompt showing up on your left side. This is a white box that reminds you of battles you can choose to fight. You don’t have to fight them and there is currently no penalty for no fighting them.

You will see a name of different seas and oceans on the map. These different oceans are separate battlespaces. If you put your ships in say the North Sea, then those ships with match up primarily against ship the ships the AI has placed in the North Sea. This is also important for “Power Projection” and beginning of turn transport losses. beginning of turn transport losses is a factor or relative “Power Projection” compared to your opponent and is calculated for each battlespace. If you have lots of Battleships (Thus lots of Power Projection) in a battle space and your opponent does not, then you will not they will quickly begin to lose transports.

The key parts of this screen are the 3 Sliders and the shipyard size. Increasing Research will increase the rate that you develop new technologies. Increasing Crew Training will make more crew available for your warships. It will also increase the rate increase in skill levels of your crews.
The Transport slider is more involved. If your transport % drops below 100% you will incur an economic penalty. This will reduce the funds available each game turn. Increasing the transport slider adds more transport % (you can go over 100%). This is capped to 200% and if you reach that far then the game will automatically reduce the funding to transport for you.As a rule, you want to max crew training and Transport %. You want to always be increasing your shipyard size. You will want to use whatever funds you have left over for research.
As of the release shipyard size increase, cost and time are all related in a linear fashion. There is no benefit in building big increases vs small increases. One trick I use is to look at my research screen and fleet screen to figure out when I want to build a new set of ships (due to research finishing or ships being completed). If that’s 8 Months out, then I will build whatever shipyard increase 8 months gets me.

Never underestimate the power of small increases in displacement on your ship on your ships combat utility.

This is where you can see a list of Active, Building, and Repairing ships. Clicking on the titles allows you to sort the list according to tonnage or build date etc. You can also ‘Scrap’ obsolete ships on this screen. There are several things to note on this screen.

On the lower left is an “Add Crew” button. Ticking this will ensure that your ships will replace their casualties after each battle. I am uncertain why this is not ticked by default. You should always thick this for each Campaign.

A ship ‘In Being’ spends its time in port and on local patrols. it’s cheaper on a monthly basis but is less likely to get in battles.

A ship in ‘Sea Control’ status costs more to operate per month but is more likely to get in battles. I believe that there is also a “Power Projection” bonus for being in this state too. I haven’t been able to verify this.

There is actually a third, hidden state called ‘Mothballed’ this is when you set the crew to ‘0’. ‘Mothballed’ ships do not participate in any battles or contribute to ‘Power Projection’. this is a useful state to use if you want to scrap a ship but are not sure if it’s a good idea first. Put it in Mothballs for a couple of months then scrap it.

‘Mothballed’ is a useful state for the late German campaigns as your always having do downsize your BB fleet to pay for new BB’s, but you are wary about downsizing too fast.

This screen is self-explanatory. The only major point is that focusing on research decreases the time to completion of 1 research BY INCREASING THE TIME TO COMPLETION OF ALL OTHER RESEARCH. It’s actually detrimental to your general technological level to use research focusing. The only time I use it is when I am trying to line up several technologies with a new building phase.

Key technologies to research are “Engines” (more HP/ Ton means more displacement for other stuff), “Hull Strengthening” (New BB hull types), and “Armor Quality” (Increased armor multiplier make armor more effective for any given thickness, it also lightens armor so you get more displacement for other stuff)

A good way to find the enemy fleet at the beginning of a battle is to use the AI to find enemy warships, this is hotkey 1 from memory.

The AI does not do a good job of picking shell type. You should do that for it. As a rule-of-thumb HE should be used when you can’t penetrate reliably (long range against enemy ships. The goal is to cause fires here) or when you’re constantly over penetrating (this will increase alpha damage).

One of the reasons your ship might be sailing around not firing is due to the turret turn rate. This is especially the case for your destroyers, as they often make lots of sharp turns when dogfighting transports and other destroyers, or just prior to making an torpedo attack run. Trust me nothing is more infuriating than making the perfect run up to an enemy ship, an having nothing happen. Be aware that turrets will only fire when facing an enemy and that upgrades that increase turret turn rate seem to benefit torpedo launchers too. You should set your torpedo launchers to “safe” a little bit before you finish the run in. that will start the torpedo turrets tracking whilst getting them to hold their fire.

The AI does a great job at tracking ships that you have a good probability to hit. Leaving your ships to decide who they are going to fire against isn’t the worst idea in the world. You can still order your ships to concentrate on cripples or focus on an incoming torpedo equipped ship with unfavorable engagement geometry.

There are 2 types of engagement geometry: 1 for ships fighting a gun engagement against each other. The other is for ships fighting a torpedo engagement against each other. In this case I am using the term ‘engagement geometry’ to describe the position and heading of two opposing ships relative to each other. Many of you will have heard the phrase “crossing-the-T”. That is a type of engagement geometry. Funnily enough the dev’s have already figured engagement geometry out (based on AI tactics)

“Crossing-the-T” is a suboptimal tactic for turreted and armored ships. The most favorable Gun engagement geometry for you will be to have an angled ship, that is still capable of firing all its guns broadside. You will be closing or retreating from the enemy ship on an oblique angle.

A torpedo armed ship that has its stern facing your bow has far more attacking options than one whose bow is facing your stern. The fact that early torpedo armed craft often have their torpedoes firing in the stern arc makes this especially the case. Just turn away from torpedo armed ships attempting to overtake you. The most favorable torpedo engagement geometry has your ship ahead and turning away from you opponent

A ship that has a “Radio Direction Finding” subsystem mounted will get a pulsing green arrow under it in the battle screen. This will show the direction to enemy ships

BB – This is the single most useful ship type. You can literally beat all the current campaigns by building only battleships. They have the highest tonnage hulls, are easy to increase the displacement. Carry heavy guns and can have the highest “Power Projection” when compared to any other hull

BC – Battlecruisers seem unusable in this build of the game. I have been unable to get them into missions the let me bully cruisers, no matter how much research I put into “Naval Communications”. Indeed they only seem to show up in capital ship bouts. And no BC wants to fight an equivalent BB. These ships offer little that can’t be gotten elsewhere and are effectively worthless in this build of the game. leave them in the ship design screen.

Cruisers – These ships are more likely to show up in transport hunting missions. You don’t have to take them. But a couple wouldn’t hurt. After you get deck torpedo launchers for cruisers this will be your primary torpedo launching platform. Indeed the 1920-1930’s campaigns will be full of AI cruisers launching spreads of up to 20 torpedoes against your ships.

Escorts- these are your initial torpedo launch platforms in the early game. They’re also the second-best ship type in the game after Battleships. This is because they cost little money or victory points and they can cause enormous damage to ships that cost much more than them. As you begin to play the later campaigns you will see that these are less useful torpedo platforms than your cruisers. They simply can’t carry the same number of torpedo turrets as later cruisers.

A fleet mix of 10 Escorts, a couple of Cruisers and as many Battleships as you can build offers an enjoyable way to complete a campaign.

The lightest funnels are typically the most weight efficient way of maintaining engine efficiency.

‘Balanced rudder’ tends to be the best choice of rudder. After all the only thing heavier than a late game tower is late game torpedo defenses. And dodging torpedoes is a lot cheaper on displacement than high tier torpedo defense.

Often the best Main Tower is not the heaviest one. This is especially true in the later campaigns, where upgrades will make the main tower one of the largest sources of weight for your ships.

In the Pre-dreadnought era, the chance of plunging fire is almost non-existent. Set fore, main, aft deck, turret and casemate roof armor to 0.1 (this ensures there is armor there in case the game code decides to treat 0 armor differently to armored sections).

Escorts should always be built for maximum maneuverability, speed, turret mobility and flooding resistance.

Capital ships should be built with long range and power projection in mind. It is their tonnage and power projection that will win you the game.

In the earlier game, very small caliber guns are useful due to their low weight and are semi competent at usual combat ranges. In this era Escorts have little capacity to absorb damage. Massed 2-inch fire is usually enough to get them to abort their torpedo runs. Do not rely in this for later campaigns. Gun accuracy will only go up and 2-inch alpha is too low (their fire chance is low too) to manage to reliably defend your capital ships.

Set Range to maximum. This seems to increase the “Power Projection” of the hull and increases the probability that it will become involved in battle.

Mount a 12-inch double turret at each end of the hull. Mount 2-inch casemates in all applicable locations. Attempt to mount secondary 2-inch guns to the area behind the rear tower. Mount broadside underwater torpedo tubes

Mount all the upgrades you can. I recommend a minimum of ‘Balanced rudder’, ‘Compound armor’, ‘Barbette 1’, ‘Heavy Shells’, ‘Reduced shell load’, and ‘enhanced reloading’.

Use Speed as your dump stat, Use Armor if your still overweight. Use bulkheads after that. One Bulkheads have dropped to “standard” then use range as a dump stat.

Do you remember me saying that “Never underestimate the power of small increases in displacement on your ship”? yeah, you’re going to use the displacement increases to increase your dump stats (keep adding 2-inch guns where you can).

The best torpedo boat is a little micromanagement intensive. Add the lightest tower and the lightest funnel to the hull. Add one 2-inch gun to the front most mount on the hull. There should be enough room for two 1-tube torpedo launchers. Set ‘Minimum Torps’, Light Shells’’, ‘Minimum Shells’, ‘Enhanced Reloading’ Spend the rest of your displacement on speed.

If you’re not interested or uncertain about your ability to micro, that’s ok; Delete the 2-inch gun and one torpedo launcher. Set ‘Standard Torpedo Load’ and add two 4-inch guns, one before the tower one after the tower. Again, speed is your friend here.

The UK:

tends to start with a larger shipyard and has a larger naval budget – the easy version. This will likely become much harder as France and the imperial possessions are added in. the UK will have a large navy, but that navy will be spread out.

Expected playstyle

Germany:

tends to start with a smaller shipyard and has a smaller naval budget – the hard version. Beating the later campaigns really requires a focus on building only battleships and keeping them in the North Sea. This will become a little harder as Russia is added in. Germany will have a smaller navy than the UK but that navy will be more concentrated.

Late German Cruisers include Barbettes in their towers. Expected playstyle

1890 Campaign: This is a tutorial campaign. Maximize all 3 finance sliders, keep upgrading the shipyard, use the recommended ships and fleet mix above and have fun.

1900 Campaign: – This is just an extension of the 1890 campaign. You may need to cut funding to research from time to time to keep in the green. You can start to use Brandenburg class type hulls. You should consider 2-inch secondaries as ineffective for this campaign.

1910 Campaign: this is an intermediate campaign. You will likely find that you will have to actively manage fleet size and funding allocations in this campaign.

1920-1930 Campaign: These campaigns draw in on all the things you have learned from the prior campaigns. It will be typified by destroyers launching 4+ torpedoes per wave and cruisers launching up to 12+ torpedoes per wave. As stated above your cruisers will form the main torpedo force. Your escorts should focus on keeping the engagement away from your own capital ships and should attempt to bait opposing ships into launching their own spread of torpedoes against them. Gunboat escorts work well in this era

-World of chasing warships
-torpedo equipped craft not aggressive enough when under AI control.

First ever guide. Feel free to use parts of the guide to make a better guide. but please reference my work. Apologies for the dyslexia

Increasing armour quality, Increasing engine technology, or changing the fuel types are all ways of minimising (t) in exchange for ($)

if you expect to win the scenario using guns then having a well trained crew is important. having a poorly trained crew can drop your accuracy by almost half.

sometimes its worth taking a little less trained crew in exchange for another ship. its your call on whether you think the extra firepower justifies the reduction in accuracy

– I found this mission to be incredibly annoying due to how buggy the ship pathfinding still is. 7 of my destroyers were still screwing around in my start zone and one was going the opposite direction of the battle despite its squadron mates being stuck in the fight. Not to mention the AI pathing your ‘definitely in manual control’ destroyers into torpedo spreads’.

Go 1x or 2x speed. manual control on all squadrons
