All he has to do is tell me what will happen with the ships down the road to make the changes in the Peru thread. I still think both ships make a nice addition to the Peruvian fleet. Also I bet he will have a lot of help from his allies.

LxB = 220mx 24.5m =5390/ 70 =77
Misc : SQRT (4900) = 70 aircraft
The 600 tons extra misc are
50 tons ATC / fire control
50 tons reserved for electronics
100 tons fire fighting and ventilation for lower hanger
200 tons additional aircraft spares
200 tons "spare" for growth.
The lower hanger is incorporated into the hull, with 1 deck above waterline and then the 5m high hanger, with a 35m flying off deck forward, with catapult. The primary usage for unassisted fighter launch.
A second hanger, 5m high is formed from the superstructure and supports the main flight deck. The main deck is cantelievered 3.25m off either side, with a 3.25m round down aft. Giving an area of 191.5L x 31m W and served by 3 centerline lifts. A further catapult is located here. Two elevators are provided, one forward of the last crash barrier, and one prior to the first crash barrier.
Weaponry is arranged with 4 twin 125mm mounts fore/aft of the island, and the remaining 8 single mounts in galleries below the flight deck fore and aft, much like CV 6's 5" guns.

So what your saying is because we have a few fictional nations we might as well throw all realism out the window? How does the existance of Atlantis make Peru richer?

Fun is fun, but its a balance, some find realism important and when you deminish it, so does the fun factor for those who advocate for realism.

Is Colombia's fleet larger than historical? Sure it is, but I've attempted to use as much restraint building it up as I can when you consider the flaws in our "economic" system, which is basically if you have the factory's you can build it.
Quoted
Compair that to Peru and you get a stark contrast. So far the only explaination I've gotten for this is "pride" and the sarcastic "Well Atlantis is here so we can throw realism out the window".

Well I inherited a well built up concern. The point is that Peru is no stronger than Persia is on paper. Geographically it is a tougher proposition to play, as its stuck out on a limb all by its lonesome with a major war next door. And did I miss the part where a potential rival is getting a pair of carriers? Nope. Would I be doing my job as a sim manager, if I didn't at least try to build up my defenses?

I'm not throwing realism out the window . I do something called a threat analysis and try to meet the threat. Like Siam, I've been given a Peru hand to play to which I must conform. Most of it is very good. But I have to consider that force base and what I can do with it while playing in character. Can't out-build my neighbors, so I have to do the best I can within my means. At this point that means throwing a monkey wrench into their works with some leverage since the means I could use will take too long to build.
