"2 - 5.10" / 130 mm guns (1x2 guns), 66.33lbs / 30.09kg shells, 1944 Model Dual purpose guns in a deck mount with hoist on side, all raised guns" Got this one wrong, I think - aren't these supposed to be the rear-facing secondaries?
Quoted from "BruceDuncan" While perhaps larger than OTL torpedo craft, I have tried to follow the outlines of the designs of the period; the earlier designs were flush decked, but for 1894 I decided to introduce the raised forecastle, which improved seakeeping measurably. Radius of action is still quite poor. I know that when I can introduce oil fuel, things get far better. Can’t justify doing that quite yet. You should get an improvement in range when you go to steam turbines, because of the s...

Quoted A machete? Surprised to see them using fire-teams. That's definitely a concept you could benefit from employing, especially as most armies of the period don't use it. (I think the USMC adopted many aspects of it during the Little Wars, but nobody else I'm familiar with did.) Not exactly a machete(its a little smaller and it looks like a big knife instead of the rectangular-like look the machete blade has), but it does the same things a machete does. Use of fire teams isn't surprising; th...
OK, here's the composition for a typical squad in the Brazilian Army in OTL, as of 1941: -Commander: 3rd Sergeant, rifle(60 rounds), saw, wire cutter - First fire team: Leader: Corporal - long rifle(60 rounds), hatchet; Machine gunner: Soldier - LMG(180 rounds), pistol(27 rounds), spade; Ammo carriers: 2 soldiers - pistol(27 rounds), 540 rounds(total) for LMG, spade and pick; Riflemen: 2 soldiers - short rifle(60 rounds), spade and pick; - Second fire team: Leader: Corporal - long rifle(90 round...
In real life, Brazil used triangular divisions up to after WWI, then they went to the square divisions other armies were abandoning. I don't know when they returned to the three-regiment division arrangement, but I think it was after they joined the Allies in WWII. I've seen the composition for a typical squad in the Brazilian Army(as of 1940), I'll see if I can find it again and post it here this weekend. Edit: Also, the standard LMG in the Brazilian Army was the Madsen, firing the then-standar...
Quoted Originally posted by Commodore Green But I think Gral's point is that it might not have been called that in the 1930's, or more importantly, WW 1930's. I meant in WW 30's. IIRC, it was already named Benjamin Constant in the 30's. Yes, it's a minor point.
Two nitpicks: first, it'd be Exército Imperial, not Imperial Exército. Second one is harder to correct: Benjamin Constant was one of the key figures of the institution of the republican government in Brazil. I don't think he would hae a town/village/whatever named after him.
Seems to be the Exocet MM38
Turrets and barbettes are overkill for 3-inch and 40mm guns. It'd be better if you used deck mounts(with or without hoists).
A Myoko/Takao-like gun arrangement? Interesting, but I'd go for 15 guns in that case.
Quoted Originally posted by HoOmAn Could be too. I thought she´s a bit large and high for a M-class but her overall appearance and layout shows many similarities... Not sure how much that drawing was modified. As far as I can see, only the guns were changed, but I could be wrong.
Quoted Originally posted by HoOmAn Looks like a German M-Class of 35 to me...?! I think that's the K4, a former Belgian sloop/gunboat named Van-something(Van Kinsbergen? Can't remember)
Quoted Originally posted by HoOmAn Quoted Originally posted by gral Isn't 25 tons too much weight for an airplane(even counting fuel and stocks for the aircraft)? The Republic F-105(largest single engine aircraft ever built) has a takeoff weight just shy of 24,000 kg. We have a general agreement that 25ts per plane are used to represent everything technically necessary (crane, catapult etc.) to operate the plane and all the other points Roijen already mentioned... Only CVs/large AVs are calcula...

Actually, I saw your other designs at Warship Projects before I saw the new names for this class, so I knew what happened to the admiral names.
Quoted Originally posted by Fyrwulf Oh, just a note, executor means executioner in Portuguese instead of a person who settles a will as is the case in English. Planned ship names are as follows: Executor Obliterar Partir Destruição Rasgar Falência Fracassar Subjugar Aniquilar Extirpar Most of the names you submitted are in fact verbs, but even those who are names would sound strange as ship names(the only word of the list I can see being used is Destruição). Some of the words would sound downri...
