Perk Ships

[Seagoon]

Before I make my request, I'd like to thank the HT team that did the updates to the Ships in the game. The work on the fleet has been a huge improvement in game play and the overall aesthetics of AH2.

Along those lines, now that we have Destroyers with manned 5 inch guns, what I'd love to see is the ability to spawn an individual destroyer at ports and at the PT spawn points.

Obviously you'd need to add a "bridge" to these spawned destroyers (with the throttle tied to a bridge telegraph, etc), but little else would need to be changed.

As I see it; the destroyer would be a perk vehicle, similar to the Tiger in value. They would be easily spotted as player vehicles rather than part of a fleet by a "DD" icon (similar to the "PT" icon). Their addition would create more naval elements in the game and would allow us to do historical "Narvik" and "Tokyo Express" scenarios etc.

Thoughts?

I like it... but maybe more than a Tiger.... how bout on the order of 100 perkies?  Either that, or only spawned out of Ports. (you may have meant this)

That would Keep them knuckle heads from bringing a CV right to shore......Hummmmm No it wouldn't because they do that with shore battery! I'd rather 5" guns at shore bases!

I like it!

If it spawns with 5 inch guns and the ability to take a gunner, give it 200 perk value. that thing can pretty much level a whole field/town, and can vulch a field if close enough.

make them The Atlanta class cruisers were United States Navy light cruisers designed originally as flotilla leaders but which ended up gaining recognition as effective anti-aircraft cruisers during World War II. With eight dual 5" gun mounts (six centerline), the first run of Atlanta class cruisers had by far the heaviest anti-aircraft broadside of any warship of World War II, at over 17,600 pounds (10,560 kg) per minute of highly-accurate, radar-fuzed VT ordnance. The later ships omitted the two wing mounts, reducing the overall broadside but improving firing arcs.

The lead ship, USS Atlanta (CL-51) was laid down on 22 April 1940, launched on 6 September 1941, and commissioned at the New York Navy Yard on 24 December 1941.


or for less perks
The Andromeda class attack cargo ships were built by Federal Shipbuilding & Drydock Co. in Kearny, New Jersey and Moore Dry Dock Co., in Oakland, California;during World War II. The armament was 1x5" 4x 40mm 16x 20mm

make them The Atlanta class cruisers

why not use the cruiser class that we allready have?

[angelsandair]

because our cruisers have 8'' guns that can level a town in about 10 minutes. A destroyer OR cruiser with only 5'' guns and 20mm guns would do.

'Cause they were "anti aircraft cruisers" which is what I thought was being asked for.
