If PT boats came into NF, how big do you think they would be?

realizing they are nearly the same size as an A6M they would be around the same
size of a plane... except they look likk a plane shooting upwards in all directions.

if they ever are put into NF they should only be used as AA escorts cuz back in the
day their AA rocked. a lot.

If U-Boats ever came into NF i dont see how you can kill it easily without getting
torped with its uber unrealistic turning abilities.

a PT boat is a patrol or torpedo boat (also known as screws during WW2). they are
very fast and small and agile.

american pt boats wer mainly used in the pacific for patrolling islands, landing scouts on
enemy held beaches, rescuing downed pilots, ferrying some of the brass around, destroying
jap troop/support barges, and destroying light defenses on enemy held beaches. most of the
american boats had 4 torp tubes, 2 2x .50 cal machine guns, a 37mm on the bow, a 40mm with
incendiary and normal ammo, and i think a 20mm.

Not really. Elco PT103-class (Same class as PT109, the famous class) was 80 foot long. So,
it may be a third the size an FF, but not 10 times smaller.



They'd be somewhat pointless in NF.

Only 4 torps, no real guns, they'd have very light AAW and UK BBs are faster..Plus, they
were made of wood. No armor.

The most famous PT Boat is the PT 109 commanded by John Fiitzgerald Kennady.
The English version is the Motor Torpedoe Boat (MTB) and the Motor Gun Boat (MGB).
The MGB usually had a small artillery piece mounted on the bow with multiple machine guns
amidships and on the stern.

The German S-Boats "Schnellbote" were really good and effictive boats... but think we got
enough TWs in NF.
