    All destroyers are better in 1/96.

    Battlestations doesn't use units... you get what the ship had, just like Big Gun, just more room to play with in the hull. Orfey would have 2 twin BB cannon turrets, and some torps as well. It would be 50% bigger than the 1/144 plans show.

    Off the top of my head I think the Orfey gets about 4 lbs to play with. I could be wrong.

    Less. 3.64 based on the calculations I did a while back. 1,460 tons max displacement.

    One shot torpedoes are its only hope. Same with my flushdecker.

    Actually, some copiousness was expended on Ioann Zlatoust... But over the winter would be a good time to do some experimenting. In between photoshopping my face onto some Soviet propaganda posters :) But the little destroyers would make nice runabouts at some point (after I have shipped your hull to you, finished my Evstafi overhaul, and finished Industrious Proletariat. I (maybe we, Comrade?) WILL be the Red Menace this year at Nats :)

    I think the summer cap would be a better choice, given the TX location... good find :)

    More directly related to Orfey, has anyone thought about using LiPo batteries to save weight? And how many AH does a DD need? 2? 3?
    Then again, I just looked at the MWCI shiplist; Orfey is only a half unit... not really worth building since there isn't any way to arm it and give it a pump...

    Maybe worth building in 1/96 or Big Gun as a torpedo toter...

    I need to find out if there's a shop out there willing to do a run of a couple dozen sets of parts for these (versus the 150 set minimum I've encountered so far). As far as I can tell, they all had one main gun mounted forward with the balance located aft. Everything I've had in the works on mine is currently boxed-up, awaiting the big move into a house with a decent amount of workspace.

    But Wook, my concern is that the fast gun rule sets don't have 1/4 unit guns or pumps...

    Convoy ship seems to be its only purpose in fast gun.
