BRITISH BATTLESHIP

[Richard_SAS]

I Think project reality should skin a British battleship, seen as the US have a carrier, why can't the british have there own ship?

A know it would be a lot of work...... but it would be Arwsome!

britian doesnt use battle ships anymore.

but the british equverlent of a aircraft carrier would be this one.

Ships ahoy

i rather the landing craft and more game relevent stuff is dont first rather than a static object with very little point other than to spice up maps

oh and welcome to the forums

battleships aint been built since WW2 since they where so easy for planes to sink them...

These days you have to worrie about planes, missiles, the lot so they would be even more veunerbal to attack today if they where used.

uhm, that boat right next to the carrier looks alot like a battleship (atleast the modern equivelant)

they are called Destroyers now.

@ Rhino, with new threats come new defence measures. Naval ships have a shitload of protection measures. Scarey ones.

er.. that would be a frigate .. a smaller vessel in a carrier group.

afaik the US is the only ones with a battleship, but I believe the last 2 of those went out of service last year.

wrt a Brit Carrier.... a *lot* of work to use on a few maps largely just to get a little ramp on the end (that does nothing game play wise).

we'll be using the US carrier model for any Brit carrier scenarios.

I don't think its worth it frankly, the current carrier is hardly moddelled accurately and it really doesn't play a part in the game. I agree with Eggman using the US carrier for the Brit maps, would be a waste of time and manpower otherwise.

the usa have two battleships moothballed, but they weren´t in service for years. they are onlys keept because most times it is just cheaper to bomb a target with long range naval artillery guns, than with high end precision missiles, which do about the same damage ^_^

That's HMS Norfolk: a type 23 frigate.

There NO carrier in BF2!

The essex is an amphib, the nearest UK equivelent would probably be HMS Ocean.
