Speed boat

[HauptmannHorst]

Similar to submarines it should Cost a little and equiped with light AA, mines and torpedoes

[ZakTheBuilder1]

A mini destroyer?!

[HauptmannHorst]

Sort of, easy to be obliterated by small ships very fast good for reconnaisance strong against big vessels.

[Veritum Nazarenvs]

I like the idea, maybe also has a cheap and fast way to protect ships from planes too.

[Shark guy 35]

Did you draw inspiration from the PT boats?

[HauptmannHorst]

I'm sorry PT boats?

[ZakTheBuilder1]

Pewny Tiny boats .....

[HauptmannHorst]

Ok

[Puss_in_Boots]

Erm are there any specific models you have in mind, because you do seem to be describing motor torpedo boats, which a PT (patrol torpedo) boat is exactly.

[Veritum Nazarenvs]

Well... I'm thinking of the MO-class soviet guard ship (and the 5 models)
The American Huckins, Higgins and Elco.
The german E-boat, S-boat.
The japanese ITO No.1 class.

Well you get the thing,

[Veritum Nazarenvs]

Those ships where used for hunting subs, anti air defense, to deploy naval mines, etc.

[Puss_in_Boots]

That's great thanks

[HauptmannHorst]

The Royal Navy had the MTB's in service and for
Germany we could use the S 100 serie?

[Veritum Nazarenvs]

Yep the E-boat and the S-boat.

[Puss_in_Boots]

And Italians will use the MAS series before anyone asks.

No idea what the French will have.

[Veritum Nazarenvs]

You have the Le Fier-class
and (for vichy france and italy) La Melpomène-class

[Veritum Nazarenvs]

I fear that those ones are Torpedo Boats (and they are quite big)

[Veritum Nazarenvs]

I cant find any images of those ships...
But here is a page that describes the ships.

[HauptmannHorst]

The russian navy used the G5 class Motor torpedo boats
Only 16 tons displacement and a incredible top Speed of 53 knots ( 93kph). 6 or 7 Crew members but only 2 torpedoes and 2 MGs

[HauptmannHorst]

The US Navy used PT boats(Elco 80):
51 tons
25 yards length
4 torpedo tupes
41 knots Speed
18 Crew members
1 .40mm Cannon (Bofors)
And 2. 12.7mm MG's

[Jasondunkel]

how should they be treated then? like the big ships that they can go everywhere? they didn't have such a great range. and certainly more intended for coastal defense.

[Stratego (dev)]

we have "water" and "deep water" as designable tiles.
maybe we have "shallows" to?

whatever we can restric them using these - dthe only thing someone whould check the maps if all is properly set to these waters.
