I was gonna say, I'd peg that as a DDG, around 4500 tons. Certainly I would finish it though.

Blackbuck the design is pretty interesting but wouldn't a better ASW chooper than the A-III be available?

The A-III was an excellent helo for its size and when properly maintained, which was fairly easy btw, it had an impecable service record.

Source Materiel is always welcome.

It's a flying egg beater....a category I also place the Wasp in. At least the Bell is an improvement, but I still think he could manage a Sprite.

If it's close enough to cast a shadow, I think the flying house wins initiative.

Bronies are like the Forsworn. Everyone agrees that they are a problem but nobody wants to expend the energy rooting them out.

"That is a very graphic analogy which aids understanding wonderfully while being, strictly speaking, wrong in every possible way."

my apologies for the slow progress of the first post tutorial.... my design is 60% finished but I did not have had any time to finish the tutorial. I am going to lissabon for 5 days starting tomorrow, so it might be only after that.... but then I will finish it immidiately. I hope I do not let anybody crash with that who was following my steps......

As lurker for this thread, I must say this is the first realistic looking design in this 'competition'. A great own design and fine Shipbucket drawing!

My first Batch of ships is finish (I think!)
