Sounds good, but I don't think HTC will allow any one player to operate the whole thing like they do with PT boats. Might just add it to the fleet. But aether I like it.

Only if I can name mine the "USS Brandon Flowers."

Just because.

The "USS Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo" or the "USS Thomas Bangalter" is a pretty coolio name too.

The dear ol' Flower Class corvette was a great little ship - but put one up against an AH Task Group? No way, unless you're just after an easy target for gunnery practice.

Now if AH ever gets submarines, well that's a different matter, I'll call mine H.M.S. Compass Rose . . .

Here's a big :salute to all the brave men who did their business in great waters during WW2 -splice the mainbrace!  :cheers:

The fleets move at something like 50knots in the game so 16 knots would be much to slow.

I belie they move at 30mph, so 26 knots. or something like that.

Why wouldn't HTC let us have something with a 4 incher? Its about the same as a 105mm.

I wish you could launch your own Ships in AH2, that would be so cool.
