Arleigh Burke-class DDG

[Northstar98]

Hi guys,

 

Absolutely thrilled with the new stable update and the new supercarrier module definitely a huge :thumbup: from me!

 

One small thing though, would it be possible to rename the Arleigh-Burke class destroyer from USS Arleigh Burke IIa to say Arleigh Burke Flt.IIA DDG or even better "Arleigh Burke Flt. IIA 5"/62 (late) DDG"

 

The real USS Arligh Burke, is the first of the Flt. I Arleigh Burkes and has quite a few differences from the Flt.IIA ships.

 

Secondly, the Arleigh Burke Flt. IIA we have, has a model that represents the earlier Flt.IIA 5"/62, despite being textured to be a later Flt.IIA 5"/62. The earlier ships with 2 Phalanx had a much more limited production run (DDGs -81 to -84); the later Flt.IIA ships were much more numerous (DDGs -85 to -112, with our one textured as being DDG-112).

 

The difference between the early and later Flt.IIA 5"/62 ships is that the early ones have 2 Phalanx CIWS mounts, whereas the later has just the one at the rear.

 

The solution is to literally copy and paste the model and remove the forward Phalanx in one of them. This would give us 2 minor Arleigh Burke Flt. IIA 5"/62 variants and a slightly greater pool of ships to choose from.
