Hi all, thanks for the positive feedback
...too low stern freeboard…
Ok, I see the point, but I planned it as a kind of "wet" stern so you are close to the water for laying or recovering mines/ training mines or sth. like this.
PV-70 class
The version shown in my last post is the testversion of this ship. During the test runs (late 2014-mid 2015) she was armed in this configuration:
Since October the ship is used to support the SAR units in the Mediterranean Sea and to test the new A109 SAR helicopter under operating conditions.
The mission will end in late December this year. Then another unit is send.
I also notice that an Agusta 109 is overflying it; they didn’t appear on your previous orbats…
Correct. They are not used in the airforce in early 2015. The first unit is tested since late 2014, also with the PV-70.
These helicopters are already delivered or will be delivered in 2015 (esp. the AW139). The BeLL 412 of the airforce are given to the home security
or sold together with older home security ones. The plan is to replace all BeLL 412 until mid 2016 and recive all new A109 and AW139 until
the end of 2016.
On the S-40 class. you have accidentally managed to replicate the color used on Norwegian PT-boats before 1990. That is cool.
Sometimes you must have luck
Hope you like the new helos...also the first tug boats are on their way
