Will you release Nawal War: Arctic Circle™ on www.GoG.com?
But I love their business system!
That's very likely, yes.will you be including the MBDA Meteor that the UK will be using instead of AMRAAM post 2020. It is a substantially different beast.
That's very likely, yes.
Apparently HMS Daring now has Phalanx CIWS fitted and Dauntless has deployed to the FRUKUS war games with 2 Lynx on board for the first time.
Sorry I missed this one.IAre you are going to have limited stocks of weapons? Fleet command did not have this for Aircraft. Sure they could only have a maximum load out in the air but the carrier didn't have a magazine and so as long as you kept your distance and crippled the enemies longest stike units first.... well you could win anything with aircraft alone.
I knew that anyway Brutoni, but thanks for the info.
Sorry, I need to vent. Currently going through the application process to be an officer. A lot they want you to learn even before they start teaching you stuff. As a result I feel the need to explain it all.... I feel sorry for my girlfriend but she assures me she is happy as long as she gets to go to lots of cocktail parties and spend my money. Not sure I'm going off best on that one
Yeah, I so don't understand the Type 26 decision though, blatently the T26 should be a T45 hull form. With less advanced radar (Artisan), a towed array and good hull sonar. Enlarged hanger for 2 x Merlin and then CAAM instead of Aster supported by NSM (JSM for dual role ASuW and LAM comes out) and fireshadow loitering missile. Phalanx and 30mm again. 114mm or 155mm depending on which one is cheapest and gets the job done.
Only reason BAE hasn't suggested this is because then they lose out on research costs which they charge huge amounts for with things like. "We said we can use CAD but we can't. BUT it's the MoD's fault for that so they should help bail us out." Then the retarted MoD goes "Sure" instead of saying "Give us the ships as agreed on in the contract or we take you to court. We aren't paying for your mistakes!"
I'm curious about the T26 not being built on T45 hull form, was the T45 designed to be relatively quiet in terms of underwater noise? I ask because it doesn't have much of an ant-sub ability. I admit I know nothing about the design process for the T45 hull.
Thanks for that very informative post Brutoni, I certainly learned quite a bit. About the C1 and C2 though, I had read that the total for both will be 12, giving us the escort for of 19 set out in the SDSR. I think the original Numbers were 12 C1, 8 C2? I'm not sure but 12 C1 and C2 in total seems awfully low.
Looks like quite a beast!

New British missile three times as fast as current weapons
Travelling at three times the speed of sound and skimming the sea at wave top enemy sailors will have just three seconds to react before they are hit by the latest British-designed missile.
By Thomas Harding, Defence Correspondent in Paris7:00AM BST 21 Jun 2011
The Perseus missile will be the most sophisticated weapon in its class travelling at Mach 3 or 2,000 miles an hour, three times the speed of existing weapons.
In midflight it can deploy a further two baby missiles that can help it straddle a ship with devastating firepower or seek out extra targets or confuse surface-to-air missile batteries.
One engineer on the project unveiled at the Paris Air Show, said: "This is the stealth bomber of missiles and can penetrate enemy defences like nothing else."
The £800,000 Perseus, designed to replace the existing Exocet and Storm Shadow weapons, will be invisible to radars until the very last few seconds before the two ton weapon impacts.
Lionel Mazenq, spokesman for defence company MBDA who are developing the missile to be ready by 2030, said it was designed to attack the most advanced warships and land targets.
He said: "The Perseus will be the most advanced missile system known to man.
"It is so intelligent it can hit two or three spots at the same time at an incredible level of accuracy.
"It is propelled by a Ramjet motor and can overcome the most advanced enemy missile defences.
"The missile has a radar seeker and laser radar - capable of mapping the ground at such resolution it can recognise one building from another - and will automatically divert if it is heading towards a residential zone where lives could be lost.
"It is also terrain-hugging. It can skim along the sea at just a couple of metres above the waves.”
Perseus, named after the Greek mythological figure, can be launched from warships or fast jets and will be pitched to several armed forces including Britain’s military.
It is being developed by the part-British owned MBDA defence company which supplies two-thirds of missiles dropped by the RAF in Libya and Afghanistan including the dual mode Brimstone anti-tank device.
