[Ian Warren]

Arr the changing shape off Warships , It just seems to happen over night these days

I believe Jon Murchison post the first ANZAC Tribute in 2006/7 , i guess it should start from there with a friendly post back to ARNZ on the update .

This is not a combat simulation site but we do get SO many people who stop here due the content and the continuation of the Military theme and thought from every part of the world and from both sides ... It dose sound like a brilliant Idea

The first so called stealth warships and modular design , it really almost is like Lego even aircraft have that lego look sometimes these days

[jeansy]

about 97% spot on Bruce, just need another 2 more harpoon tubes each side (8 in total) then i would say 100%





well done thus far

[Ian Warren]

Question , what Helicopters do they use on RAN ANZACs and other question .. i don't see a Phalanx .. looks like the Goalkeeper CISW ... and wonder if our Frigates are going to be upgraded shortly ?

[chopper_nut]

Seahawks from my observation. I dont think anything else is being used at the moment but I might be wrong on that.

[bruce448]

I don't think they are using a CIWS, from my research and Jeansy can prove me wrong here,the armament is 1x 5 inch Mk45 Mod 2 automatic rapid fire gun and 4 x 50 calibre (12.7mm) machine guns, 4x harpoon missiles, 2 x Mk32 Mod 5 triple mounted torpedo tubes and 10x Mk 41 vertical launch system with Sea Sparrow anti-air missiles.

thats correct, no cwis on the FFHs, only the FFGs currently have them, and possibly the LHAs

to be trivial, 2 of the 12.7mms are mini typhoons

but ive noticed Bruce you have also included NULKA aft of the VLS, and the chaff launchers well done

[Ian Warren]

That's why we have a RAN member on-board Matt .. confirmed kill then on the ship jumpers .. the extra Harpoons to haul em in

Sorry Ian I forgot to mention, we got the the sea sprites for them but that's a different story

Now we just use the s70s, in saying that we just ordered a heap of Romeo Seahawks

Hmm , twas 1988 , your Bi-Cenntenial airshow , the UH-60 was in its test mode , the introduction .. radio call sign "Spider Rider" took it though its pacers .. the Seahawks tho ... for me come a couple years later .

Matt, the mini typhoons are they aft of the bridge or on the waist above the hangar? As I have them already in my virtual arsenal.

Bruce

[jeansy]

yep above the hanger each side

are you planning on doing any FFGs?

[Adrian Brausch]

heya fellas , when and where will these mighty fine ships be available ?,...Payware ?,..I will happily hand over hard earnt money for magnificent works such as these !!

[bruce448]

Adrian I haven't made my mind up yet regarding the payware/freeware issue, currently they are all untextured and way too high in polys/verts for fsx to handle, I have several strategies in mind. I will answer your question shortly Matt.

[bruce448]

Matt this is the rest of the antipodean shipyard in various states of build.

Those off shore patrol boats might just hit a nerve here with Matt , one looks very much like his Avatar .. The OHP type class really has come up well , Brilliant models
