F123 Brandenburg

Beskrivning
This mod adds the F123 Brandenburg-class frigate of the German Navy.


It comes in 5 versions:

- as built (1994) with 16x RIM-7P, 21x RIM-116B, 4x MM38 Exocet, 12x Mk46 torpedo, 2x 20mm Rh202 and 2x SCLAR chaff dispenser

- upgraded (2007) with 16x RIM-7P, 42x RIM-116B, 4x MM38 Exocet, 12x Mk46 torpedo, 2x 27mm MLG 27, 4x MASS chaff/noisemaker dispenser

- ESSM (2015) with 64x ESSM Block1, 42x RIM-116B, 8x RGM-84D Harpoon, 12x Mk46 torpedo, 2x 27mm MLG 27, 4x MASS chaff/noisemaker dispenser

- MLU (2025) with new Saab radars (SeaGiraffe 1X/4A, CEROS 200 CWI), KORA 40 ESM/ECM, 64x ESSM Block2, 42x RIM-116E, 8x RBS15 Mk3, 12x MU 90 torpedo, 2x 27mm MLG 27 and 4x MASS chaff/noisemaker dispenser. It should get a towed sonar, too. I might model that soon.

- a fictional MLU version (2030), with 16 added VLS-cells (so 128x ESSM Block2), as it was build with this upgrade in mind.



Thanks to MitcheLL600 (and others) for helping and using small parts!

i think it will be Kora as that is atleast a name i reckognize.

A k130 would be neat, we often had them in WHV when they went into the shipyard. they are so cute (and actually pretty capable!)

Thank you, for your help and your service. The aft balcony near the radar mast got widened too a year or too after it got MASS. Found pics of F216 before and after that at Blohm in 2010 (iirc). Modeled that yesterday.

I hope the first one comes out of the shipyard fast and reveals if it got the Atlas Actas or the Thales Captas-2 VDS (and if it got KORA-40, but this is very likely). I even found a brochure that shows the F123 maneuvering deck with it fitted, but that doesn’t mean much. But it would help really much for modeling it.

But I have to get the textures together. There aren‘t any guides on shaders etc.

Started modeling the hull of F127 a week ago, but maybe I‘ll do the K130 next, don‘t know yet.

all I can say is I served on F218 from 2012-2014, back then we still had MM38s, they were then phased out, and when i came back into the fleet in 2016 they were getting fitted with Harpoon or already had it. some time before my time (so i guess around 2008-2010?) they closed up the aft maneuvring deck after there was an incident on one of them, where water flooded in through the stern at high speeds, there are now bulkheads that can be opened for line handling. other than that no major updates (that would change how the model looks) were made i guess. AA--> MLG, MM38 --> Harpoon, introduction of Mass evac system (i think that happened in 2012-2013, i think this was fitted whilst i was on the FGS Hamburg) of course the very old boats got replaced.

again, excellent mod. i made a mission with it called "Victors 2" and side by side with the F124 i really have to say your F123 looks A LOT more detailed.

@Muddy: oh I totally got that wrong, update is online. Apart from that it‘s so hard to find a year for a variant as they never were on the same upgrade level, but I think that’s a problem with all vessels. Pls say something if I got something wrong or missed a bigger or smaller detail.

great updates! I noticed that the 2007 variant has Harpoon on it, but this is a bit inaccurate. during 2012-2014 the MM38s were all fired into biscay to eventually replace them with Harpoon, but it happened even later than that, i think making the jump to harpoon with the 2015 version is close enough to reality

@Muddyn: Added the 20mm guns, maybe I'll do the platform, gunner and railing around the Rh202s in the future. Pls don't make me do the old boats :D

yeah probably. it was built in with warfare of a different time in mind.
it'd probably hit fighter bombers going overhead though.

also i just realized that i only came here to nag:

GREAT model otherwise, very detailed, very cool. the first 2 of my 12 years of service i spent on F218 and i'm really happy that i can now build some scenarios with her!

@Muedyn: I know. There are not so many pictures of that gun. I will model it eventually and the MLG is a placeholder for now. The chance of intercepting missiles with it would be nearly 0 too. Maybe I just model the gun as a decoration.
Muddyn 3 okt @ 15:53 
i noticed there is a little error on the models, the 1996 version should not have the MLG gun, it had 2 twin 20mm AA guns at launch
