 :aok  saw a whole long show on how Germany focused alot of it's naval power into alot of small torpedo boats instead of huge warships (for coastal defense) the UK also built alot of small torpedo boats, both of their varients were way awesome, would be cool to have a choice of the 3 countries ships, have a little variation from the pt

I LIKE this idea.

Especially the parts involving 'mines' and 'new boats', i.e. all of it.

+1 from me  :aok
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.
