@TheUltimatePlaneLover You can't lose a track to a land mine on most airplanes because most airplanes don't have tracks.
You seem to have "fixed" that.
Good job, hoser.
OH!
As I was the account manager when the original was posted, it needs to be pointed out that the hull was a pre-built one!
Some challenge or what have you. It's been a long time.
This breaks so many vexillological conventions.
Maybe remove the small font text since it wouldn't show on a text block picture, but honestly otherwise this'll do fine since it's bound to piss off Grain just by how bad it looks.
The base colours are surprisingly not that bad... Look like one of those liquorice tube candies.
Perhaps we could use that prototype on The MBS Fillet's mast as a naval flag?
Again, great to see this here. While there's clearly work that needs doing (and sources to verify, and math that needs checking as I do NOT believe that weekly budget in the slightest) this is looking like a good sign for things to come. It's no Morrayge, but the implications for our naval power are wonderful.
Hm.
Notes:
Good to see, of course. Some support is great.
The scale, however, could use adjustment. The bridge, doors, and railings are far too small to fit humans. May need to be re-fitted. Remember, the seat part has a projection of a human if you need help scaling things.
The propeller pitch and turret turning seems to be controlled by the same VTOL action group. This is, of course, not goo as it impedes use greatly. Needs fixing.
The missiles are concerning. Where are we getting these? These things are clearly highly advanced with very high range. Tell me elsewhere how much these things cost, because I'm suspicious of who'd supply these at anything approaching fitting in a $4 million budget.
That weekly operating cost is also suspicious. This thing isn't being pedaled by monkeys, is it? That's dirt cheap for a lot of kit. You may have forgotten to switch a few units. Running efficiently with minimal ammo use (and no replacement missiles) would surely be a thousand times that. Remember, a cubic meter is 1000 liters! I've made those mistakes before and paid dearly for it.
It's quite quick despite the low power output. In fact, it has a lot of systems. Are you sure this thing only has 30kw? There's no shame in admitting to using a salvaged engine from another ship, so long as it's being done safely.
The guns concern me. Incredible muzzle velocity, fast firing, absolutely tiny. The breach must be the size of my thumb to fit in those turrets. And you say it's autoloaded? There's no way something that tiny is safe. I greatly recommend we find other cannons. Even if they're heavier, slower, and less punchy, the decreased risk of blowing up spectacularly (and likely also cheaper ammo)
Any other nitpicks... Doctrine!
This isn't really the fault of the ship, rather our procurement. This vessel, while definitely an asset for its big guns and air defense abilities, seems rather similar to a beefed-up Fillet class (side note: could use a name methinks). The Fillet, despite our need for speed, is not fast. That's on my, obviously, but it's a trawler. A hole is made with lightening speed, and the trawler comes in to exploit it. This thing would make a great heavy escort for the slower vessels, but for taking the fight more to Eel Protectorate assets I think we could still use something bigger.
I say a carrier of some sort. What do you say?
Tall MiG-29
+1@Graingy no
@TheMouse Well, do tell me if you find any companies or organizations well-suited to the production of variable-pitch bronze marine ship propellers.
+1@TheMouse Those propellers look horrendously inefficient.
+1I'm hoping to secure a supply link for models much alike what the Fillets already use.
@Majakalona I would place doubts in the quality of anything sourced from places such as that.
+1@TheMouse Not quite.
I'm looking to provide for the construction and servicing of more Fillet-class ships, as is linked.
oh
@Majakalona Not the case, I'm afraid.
+1@Majakalona What do you want.
+1Modern geopolitics are quite something.
+1@TheUltimatePlaneLover You can't lose a track to a land mine on most airplanes because most airplanes don't have tracks.

High lard content
Are those Bismarck turrets?
@Graingy no
@Majakalona What?
+1@TemporaryReplacement Raaah.
+1What?
+1I am serious.
+1@TheMouse Indeed.
+1What?
+1”Ten thousand? My PC-!”
+1Hm. That’s definitely a plane.
+2I read the description, yes.
+1It was… rather an unpleasant read. I suggest you work on that.
@32 Probably not, but I suppose we’ll just have to wait and see.
@TheMouse Yeah.
+2Seriously, zoom in. You can see a faint red waterline and even a little blue from a brief.
Wait, nevermind, there were those concrete ear things in WWII.
+1I never thought I’d live to see the day sonar was employed for air-to-air purposes…
+1Wow.
+1Is… is that a ship????
+3@Noname918181818181818181 @Speedhunter Get a room, you two.
+2Seriously you’ve completely clogged this place
Oof
That performance cost...
We did it...
+1@Majakalona Well, the pearl sprinkles suck hard.
+1Very, very hard.
Ow.
OH!

... Now that's something I'd love to have right about now.
Any interest in selling?
@Eggplant Probably yes
@Majakalona You ever made a ginger bread house before?
+1@Monarchii Did you bite the trawler?
@Majakalona @Eggplant You're both wrong.
+1They're those horrible pearl sprinkles that break your teeth and kill your gums.
What?

Now THIS is what I like to see!
Inspecting momentarily.
@Graingy Why are you still here?
@Speedhunter Terrible idea, go sit in the corner and feel bad.
Time out for you.
@TalonTheCRTguy he?
For finally getting back to me.
+1@TheMouse That is 2030% in-character for them. I am experiencing negative surprise right now.
