while radar is not so plentiful that Peru can immediately install sets on all warships, its eventual installation seems inevitable.

Simple air-search sets are commercially available to most nations from Phillips Electronics, and older (to the Dutch) Air/Sea search would be available to AEGIS/SAER/SANTA members. So planning for it seems wise, even if the Peruvians don't choose to buy any.

Good to know. Perhaps I'll talk to the Dutch about buying some.

The Dutch find the provision for minelaying interesting.
In another thread the question of specifying Misc weight came up, and somebody indicated we didn't need to reserve weight for Torpedoes anymore.
Which means we've gone from not doing it, to doing it, to not doing it, and I'm confused.

I disagree with whoever said that. When you enter a number of torpedo tubes with SS2, no weight is added (unlike with SS3). On a big ship it's not a big deal, but the smaller the ship the bigger the impact of the weight of torpedoes is going to be so as far as I am concerned, weight always needs to be added for torpedoes. If you do not, the ship will have no torpedoes aboard. To me, everything that is not standard on a 1850-1950 ship needs weights assigned. If it is standard on a 1950 ship but not an 1850 ship, weight needs to be added. So we're talking about mining equipment, DCs, torpedoes, radars, sonars, ballast tanks, flight deck, etc. Even additional ammunition for the secondary and lighter guns need to have weight.

I tend to agree with Brock, why have tubes without torps? Adding weight for reloads, which usually are added by most, in my mind solves that issue. We all know small ships are not simmed properly anyway, we can't sim historical DD's at their historical speeds without serious stability issues. Some like Brock simply assume a 2-3 knot increase on the SS files stated speed for DD's reguardless of country.

We had a standard formula for such a thing in Navalism - is there a standard here?
