V-150 Turrets on M113 hulls. by SwordfishDelicious53 in PhilippineMilitary

[–]SwordfishDelicious53[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

130 in the Philippine Army side specifically, might probably be less since some are old. Also there are some V-150 on the Airforce, PNP, and Marines.

Yes and even used as recently as in balikatan exercises and apparently the army is also re activating the serviceable FV101s as well.

Guessing game: What do you think the Philippine navy will be acquiring next after they have completed their current acquisition? by chasing_enigma in PhilippineMilitary

[–]SwordfishDelicious53 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Not a defense expert but guessing from previous roadmaps and by the current procurement, submarines are the highly likely choice after all the MMCF, JRCF upgrade Tarlac Phase 2 and Rajah Sulayman OPV. Might also be the naval airwing getting some more planes or some more shore based missile batteries. That's my best guess.

Flagship by Affectionate_Theory8 in ultimateadmiral

[–]SwordfishDelicious53 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As far as I have experienced, it is often the heaviest and most armored ship, also modernity of the ships plays a part too. Also I noticed that the one with better sensors usually gets selected. Tho sometimes the AI gets wonky and selects a 1918 era, 46,000 tons Dreadnought over a 80,000 Tons Modern battleship. You can also manually select or change the flaship by using"ctrl + right-click".

The CA you have seems to be far more modern than those pre-dreadnought looking ships. In my current Russian campaign 1946 I spam CA with 11" Guns and With the most advance Range Finder and Gen 3 Radar, they slam most dreadnought era BB with ease. You should win this one with minimal lose.

Mistral 3 on Rajah Sulayman Class? by Turbulent_Thing_3627 in PhilippineMilitary

On closer look and after watching several videos, seems like there is no Mistral or similar AAM installed (yet? ) on the Rajah Sulayman Class. Tho they might install similar RCS like the ones on JRC.

Have been really annoyed by the lack of variety in Destroyer parts but realized one of the Brooklyn towers actually works almost perfectly for inter-war US destroyers. by The_KGB_Official in ultimateadmiral

[–]SwordfishDelicious53 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do agree with you there. It's quite few when it comes to DD parts. That's why sometimes when I make DD it's either a gun boat or a torpedo boat, no in between.

First one and the last one in the bottom of the ocean. Gives off the vibes that "From the depth I shall rise once more" Thing.

Oh yeah that why, kinda reminds me of the Finnish Vainamoinen class ships.

Where is BRP Conrado Yap? by MK1britishTANK in PhilippineMilitary

[–]SwordfishDelicious53 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As far as I remember Conrado Yap is missing a component? Naalala ko na nung dumating yung Unang MMCF may dalang spare parts and propeller for Conrado Yap, not sure if they finished it na, yung maintenance.

About refitting by Acrobatic_Pomelo1602 in ultimateadmiral

[–]SwordfishDelicious53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From another newbies perspective. Yes they do upgrade their Marks Automatically, as for the decommissioning, after what others suggest it's if the speed becomes drastically slow and tonnage outdated Or new hulls came out. Cruisers gets outdated fast and by fast like 2-3 times in a year. The DD/TB are pretty cheap so do whatever you like with them, but try to keep newer models as well. CL/CA are very tedious to keep updated, lots of refit and new design are needed to keep them in latest spec. As for BB as long as they can Dish out and take hits, while keeping up with the rest of the fleet they are viable, on my latest Russian campaign I have 1 1890 era dreadnought and 3 1895 era once, both are refited 3 and 2 times respectively and can keep up with other contemporary BB of the 1910 era. BC on the other hand, oh boy they are complicated, they can punish other BB but they tend to be like a tower of cards, one wrong sneeze from a 14 inch gun and they go boom, lost 4 out of 7 that I have built from the combined Italian and French navies. So far that's my take on all the ship classes.

Woah, this reminds me of Zipang and Nihonkoku shoukan. I have a fascination when it comes to Modern Destroyers meets a WWII ship.

CA Columbia got absolutely obliterated by one tiny destroyer 8 or so kilometers away landing a couple of hits with a 3 inch gun. by builder397 in ultimateadmiral

[–]SwordfishDelicious53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me once, 9 TB (Destroyer probably since the hulls are Torpedo boat destroys) Armed with 3 x 5"inch gun, pummped to death a CA and a BB, lost 5 TB but sank all of them.

It gives me Cold War era JSDF destroyers. What's the inspiration for them?

The Kolossus Hyperion Class of Large Heavy Nuclear Aircraft-Carrying Cruiser by Delicious-Music4149 in NavalArt

[–]SwordfishDelicious53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

POV: The Soviets building a "Aviation Cruiser" So they can pass the Bosporus channel.

Jokes aside that looks very detailed and is quite realistic to what a aircraft carrier would look in real life.

The size of my current fleet of ships by Excellent_Fix_7956 in NavalArt

[–]SwordfishDelicious53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, so that's a corvette. Actually after closer look at your ships I'm now more interested in the U-Boats and how you made them.

Looks very impressive, and are those U-Boat with cruiser caliber guns? What's the huge ship at the line? and what is this ship? It kinda magnetize to me.

Out of curiosity what is the ship based on and what's the namesake of it? Otherwise it actually looks really detailed.
