The idea is to replace each Nimitz with a GRF. I reckon at least 5 Nimitz will still be active (under 40 years old) by 2030, with the other 5 (or 6?) having been replaced by that point.
It really is. We just needed a Russian patrol boat to make some fun missions not involving the heavier ships (read: with solid anti-air). Suggestions for the future are very welcome!Btw, why the Project 206MR Vikhr?
This is a pretty obscure choice for a russian missile boat and it is no longer in service with the Russian Navy.
I obviously picked the wrong gun when I fitted the ship. Sorry about that.Here is another little gripe I noticed today in the new "Jutland 2030" scenario: The German Baden-Wurttemberg (F125) class frigate should be armed with an Oto-Breda 127mm gun (with Volcano long-range guided shells), not the 76mm. This is in fact one of the primary function of this future german warship: long-range naval gunfire support.

Project 1234 (Nanuchka class?)
Or some sort of modified Bora class?
But it seems that Russia is going to drop the missile boats altogether (as most other navies do) and go for Corvettes
Yeah, the FPB community grows smaller for every day
I somewhat doubt the Nanuchka/Bora/Tarantul will be in service in 2030 as I also doubt there will be a similar sized replacement equal to the Hamina/Skjold.
A good idea for a "small" surface combatant in 2030 would probably be the Buyan class corvette (Project 21631). The Buyan is somewhat similar to the german K130 in size and capabilities (disregarding the german UAV).
We chose to include its successor the Yasen (aka Severodvinsk) instead. Both very fine subs.no Oscar class? the oscar would be very important in any conflict like this
