Mhm. We'd need long-range ones that we can drop far from their AAA bubble.

Let work on a submersible commerce raider.

If it a SMG your after 10ebbor10, then i did post a plan to make a 7.62x25 copy of our LGM.
While keeping the 60 round pan mags will save on tooling costs and make for a better weapon,  a smaller magazine is a good idea.

[10ebbor10]

I never proposed an smg actually.

[Aseaheru]

Squad Machine gun, I proposed that.

[Aseaheru]

So, we all ready for votes?

[Funk]

Im ready.

Do we have any rules/guides for ship building

[tryrar]

Not really. You can design the component seperately, or do it all together, but how you go about it is up to you. Be advised though blatantly unrealistic designs with fail hilariously (no 100t boats carrying a 500mm gun in a fully traversable turret )

What's the verdict on flying aircraft carriers? Mostly just curious. _Mostly..

[tryrar]

Eh, if you can work out the problems with it (mainly you can't launch heavy craft from them, unless you want a dirigible the size of Texas, which would come with it's own problems. Also, landing a craft on it is a problem needing solving) I'll try to incorporate it

[Parsely]

That's okay, I don't think anyone would want to try something crazy like that anyways.

landing a craft on it is a problem needing solving

Well, if it's basically a floating runway (which is what I was picturing) then you just slow down and land. Since we're using prop craft and not jets the deck could actually be relatively short compared to modern supercarriers and still be pretty safe.

A more realistic air carrier could just be a dirigible with the aircraft prepared on hooks, and it could drop them when it got close to the target. Then when the aircraft were done they could just fly back to the airfield with the fuel they saved (as opposed to having some kind of awkward and dangerous in-flight recovery system).

You can't have the runway on top. The design would be top heavy, and you can't vent hydrogen with the planes engines running.

What if you had vessels on either side and the runway carried between them?

I'm entirely not sure how airships work, what do you mean?

[Aseaheru]

Big balloon, things hanging off below.

We can do the flying trapeze style, but thats kinda tricky to do.

[tryrar]

I will say first thing's first, you will need a basic airship and planes first before you go trying to figure out how to put them together in a coherent fashion

or aircraft and a ship for a aircraft carrier.
