Congratulations to BB1987 and the other entrants and many thanks to the judges for the feedback. Speaking of which...I wonder if I could trouble the latter with a few questions, in an effort to improve my efforts. 1. It seems I've been working to an outdated style. Portholes are now 1-3-1 rather tha...
Although my design has its own thread, I would still like to include it in the challenge that inspired it...not that it's in the same league as the other entries! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/flangndxxr1fr6j/HHS%20Sampit%20v2.png?dl=0 2x 5"/54 Mark 39 single mounts 4x 3"/50 Mark 27 twin mount...
Thanks Novice...I've revised the design as you suggested. I was a bit worried with the weight distribution- the deleted topweight was all from the back half of the vessel- so I've replaced the ASW mortar with a hedgehog. Ideally, this should probably be a trainable mount (Mark 15?) but I could only ...
I've come to the conclusion that I just don't know enough about Dutch equipment to make a credible design without a lot more research, so I think I'll put that version on hold for now and revisit it later. In the meantime, I've been working on the version armed with American equipment, taking into a...
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/4h7i1kczsdl5zh5/HHS%20Sampit%20WIP.png?dl=0 I've removed the 3' guns, moved the aft 120mm a deck higher and added 2 C1s. It might fit, but it looks a little topheavy to me...and I'm not sure about the internal arrangements. In case I can't make it work, I've been...
Seems you have used the Dutch Holland class as a base. Keep in mind though, that the Holland class had an watered down fire control system, due to the earlier designs having topweight problems as the design process progressed. This means the Holland class has 2 directors for 2 120mm turrets and 1 4...
Greetings, Bucketeers...it's been too long! Inspired by 1143M's Tai Yuan (and of course BB1987's wonderful rendition of the Akizuki Class), I found myself wondering how one of the survivors might have been modernised with western equipment. My scenario sees the former Natsuzuki acquired by a small s...
