  • Patrol Boats/ Corvette Ships

*** READ THIS*** I know this has been suggested before, but i want everyone to
see my sprites and at least consider this with an open mind.

I am thinking a ship about half the size of a FF, nationalized, or just higher levels,
would be a wonderfull addition. They would be about half the size of FF, carry 2 to 4
torpedos, and one or two pompom machine guns. They would be faster than FF. This
would give a job for CL and CA to do, besides just being food for others, or overused
AA. This also would provide more ASW.

Some sprites i drew up to show my ideas.

For reference, A normal FF1

FFZ A smaller version of a normal FF.

FFH, a frigate on hydrofoils. Hydrofoils have been used before WW2 so dont say its
not used in WW2.

Last, but not least, the FF3

@sespeedy, i would not say that the job of a CL is just torping and rushing. That is not
a job, thats just fictory and kitas. Now, the issue of why not use neutral frigates, is that
they are too big, they have no displacement, and they are too slow. The job of the
Corvette would be to scout and to torp the enemy ships if they get a chance, and just
guard and patrol. AA would be a side job, and a better use escort would be to buy an
emden, atlanta, or omaha and use that for aa. Also, if this line were hooked up to the
SS1 or SS2 then the people who would normally use the CL lines would now use the FF
lines to get to SS, therefore allowing much more diversity in the game. NF needs
diversity.

"Subs will never be implemented" -SDE

Corvettes may be implemented sometime in the future, we just dont know. So,
contribute to the idea or explain why it is outragiously wrong.

I like it, something that can scout besides planes. Althouth it can not be
customizable, just what ever "FF Space" your ship has that is the ship you get. And
DDs in GB2 can finally shoot a surface ship

its not just for attacking bbs it can be used to make op convoy popular very anoying
in blitz and ASW for GB its better to try an idea than not try it at all just saying

These might be good for special missions where you gotta sink cargo freighters while
avoiding mines and destroyers inbound to defend.

DD Job : Screening BB's from Subs
CL Job: Providing AA Cover
CL Job: Torpedoing / Rushing
CA Job: AA / Killing CL/DD's

DD CL CA BC CV1 Job: Blitz if they can't survive in GB's.

Anything smaller than an FF would be annoying for CL/CA's to hit, just as much so as it would
be for BB's. Sure. They reload faster, but I ask you, what is a PB going to do if it gets to an
enemy BB? Do 4 damage to it and cause 1/3rd it's bulge to drop?

I appreciate the idea. And it'd be fun in some games. But NF will never be one of those
games.

Now, I could see the Pom Pom's being useful. Which brings a counter-idea.

Hireable dedicated escort PB ships with 2 pom pom guns. Crews at lvl 30. Cost per game
dependant on average level of the top 4 sailors on a ship. So say you have 2 120's a 90 and
an 80, and 5 20's, the 120's 90 and 80 would determine the cost to prevent abuse.

Well, while that may be true, the FF2 M3 only has a usefull speed of 45/60. not 74.
And,
while this may be annoying for the BB to not be able to hit as easily, it gives the DD,
CL,
and CA a job to do and solves the problem of cannon fodder and food.



Ok. heres the sprites:

Flower class corvette:

>half the size of FF
>They would be faster than FF

FF2 M3 max speed tops at 74. with the hit box small enough to fit between H39 spread.
don't think anything should be faster or smaller than that

These FFs will be added to a little more and my next line will be the US and the lack
of gun size is made up by the speed. And rerely_shadey brought up a good question
about these being historicly accurate but all of them are real frigates and the first 3
will be the only half sized ffs because they are a corvette class the rest will be ff
sized and maybe bigger.



there silent should have the sprites added soon thats just a rough copy of the ship
details i will have the others uploaded soon.
