I've tried updating the hull-turret interface, but aren't truly very happy with it - will probably be scrapping and starting over with trying to show the entire FV200-esque heavy 'universal' series.

Personally I think it looks a lot better now.

Re-colour complete.


And not truly done, but if one has real colonies in Antarctica, extending the shipping season is rather valuable as an option. (If anyone knows where Arktika's rear 76mm battery was on trials, that would be wonderful.)


Sloop, small frigate, it all means the same thing, right? (Defined as coastal defense ships and light combatants.)

You really need to have a talk with your chief hangar designer & shipborne aviation safety manager (in fact, I will execute them at once )... Many ships seems unable to get their intended choppers types inside (don´t even think about undergo maintenance on rotors e.g.) because of height concerns... And the only way I see to operate a "Chinook" from Bunthanbongs is to fold the rotor blades while still airborne and hope to crash inside helipad ... Safety margins are below 0%...

That's why in my designs the hangar has generous space to accomodate taller/wider/longer helicopters than I intended for the ship.

Wait, we're seriously actively criticizing a ship from five years ago? That was noted as being not functional back then?

Edit: It's on the list to be re-worked, that's a long list.

A comment is a comment, so she went higher on the 'to do' list, the re-done Bunthabong.

(Is it a lazy re-color? Yes.)
The older, smaller cousins to the Wah-Kah-Nee types.

Why so much offensive fire power on an icebreaker, are you'r Californian people so scared of Ice bear!

You mistake offensive firepower for "Defend oneself when the USN comes a-calling". The four 120mm twins is not out of line for what the US put on WW2 era icebreakers. When combined with the fact that in very very cold climates the operation of missiles might be marginal (icing up of both the launch systems and radars) it is beneficial to have weapons that can be heated from the inside and maintain operational status in the Antarctic.
