I count six different gun armaments on that destroyer. A bit much, unless some are firing the same ammunition. You are right! Only the 150 guns on positions A and D and the 20mm double quads for AA are of the same type. The 88 in position B is intended to be as DP and the "strange looking" gun on p...
Wait, you mean, the technology was about 60 years ahead in your germany because they did more effective technology development? Because I happen to know that even modern minesweepers are not fitted with an mine detection system as effective as you seem to be describing. That's an answer that fits i...
This would have been a very useful capability to have aboard USS Samuel B. Roberts, USS Princeton, and USS Tripoli, all of whom struck mines in the Persian Gulf in the late 1980s and early 1990s. If you think it's reasonable for a WW2-era unit to have detection capabilities above and beyond what yo...
The Shipbucket rules about crediting applies to all drawings posted in our website, forum and discord server, simple "next version will have them" wont do, you need Place credits to all drawings.
Thanks for the reminder, change has been done. Cheers. Carlos
Destroyers are also quite expensive ships to divert from combat duties to do minesweeping. Even if the method works, an purpose build vessel will always be more cost effective for the task. My idea is to add that device to any warship of the DKM, as a defensive weapon against the threat of sea mine...
One thing which goes inside my mind: WW II ships had already sonar. These devices, as we know, serve to detect underwater objects, mainly subs. BUT, would it be correct in the timeline of this AU to place a "forward scanning sonar array" in a bulbuous bow of a ship, able to detect mines floating nea...
Dont forget credits! Otherwise keep up the good work
Thanks! I just posted yesterday the design I had already in my archives only to show what's already on the pipeline and I uploaded it as it is right now... The next evolution of the DD will have the proper credits.
Unfortunately while the placing of boats may not be ascetically pleasing, the Americans did it for 15-20 years with their carriers and I would think one of those German Naval Attaches may have noticed this and passed it on to the Kriegsmarine. I stand corrected, Krak! Cargil, I LOVE that DD design!...
