A new(ish) look...

#1 Post by Raven »

I've gone ahead and done something about the ass-heaviness of one of my designs that seems to upset a few of the purists here. Keepin mind this is a WIP. All suggestions and criticisms are welcome.

Well, it does still seem mighty rear heavy but I'm not naval architect. About the, uh, vicinity of the stern; is that landing pad floating? A second thing I wish to inquire about is the after weapons mount (and it's partner abaft the main battery). WTF is that? Some sort of mutated CIWS? If so, those barrels look kind of large for that purpose. Finally, those VLS launchers just don't sit well with me. The hatches look too small in addition to there odd placement behind the superstructure. From one newby, to another might I suggest relocating them to amidships, or forward of the bridge?

Nice bird though.
Restraint? Why are you so concerned with saving their lives? The whole idea is to kill the bastards. At the end of the war if there are two Americans and one Russian left alive, we win!
