Just wondering if you've got the scale right? She looks pretty bloody long for a displacement of 500 ton (by way of comparison the WW2 Flower class corvettes displaced 900-odd tons but were only 64m; the WW1 Flower class Sloop is closer to this design in length but is two and a half time sthe notion...
I was under the impression that CEAPAR/CEAMOUNT was capable of directing Evolved Sea Sparrow missiles on it's own, so it'd probably be safe to dump the SPG-62 director you've got there.
I found this while looking for the SMS Mackensen, while it isn't an 'official shipbucket design', for lack of a better term, it looks like a quick splice job. http://www.kitsune.addr.com/Rifts/Rifts-Earth-Vehicles/Triax/Triax_BCG-582_Mackensen.htm You've blundered across the ye olde ancestor of Shi...
Okay, before I buggered off to Vanuatu for a holiday I was drawing the Martin-Baker MB2 Fighter (real design, one prototype, monoplane with fixed landing gear -a version with retractable landing gear was planned but never built- powered by a 1000hp Napier Dagger) and started wondering what if Martin...
Let's see... fencing, horse riding and military history are the three biggies. Given recent experiances while on holiday in Vanuatu I'd be tempted to add Scuba diving to the list... but too bloody cold down here in Tasmania. I'm an engineering student. What are hobbies? Means of killing time outside...
Still got details to add and shading to do, but thought it'd be best to hoik her up here and get some feedback: So, the 1934 Bristol Type 133 . A four gun monoplane intended for the F7/30 competition which was won by the Gloster Gladiator. While a promosing design the single prototype was lost befor...
Only problem is it's far too sane for a NS design. I mean only 14" main guns? I though NS required a minimum bore of 20". A displacement less than 1,000,000 tons? And where's the ICBMs and lasers?
