Beskrivning
A 1:1 scale replica of the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Campbeltown in her 1942 Operation Chariot configuration. Designed to take out the dry dock at St Nazaire, she was modified to resemble a Kriegsmarine torpedo boat and loaded with explosives, intending to ram the gate and detonate the charges.

In game she functions much the same way, just ram your unfortunate target at full speed, and the ramming damage will detonate the charges. (I tried fiddling about with ACB's to do it but they were temperamental, and the ramming often set off the charges anyway.)

The few guns she has are historically accurate. However FtD's physics do not like the hull design at all and extensive active stabilisation measures had to be fitted to stop her rolling over. (Though apparently the actual ship rolled a lot so maybe it isn't entirely FtD's fault...)

Detection equipment is minimal as most stuff was removed for the coversion.

It should go without saying that taking hits with this ship is not recommended as she has the bare minimum of armour and is loaded with things that don't react too well to bullets.

voidmaster - This is the 1942 refit where she was essientially used as a giant bomb to destroy the dry docks at St Nazaire. Read up on Operation Chariot for more info, it's a great tale.

wait a second the ship only had 3 main battery guns all of them single mount 102mm cannons one on each side of the ship and one in the front and two triple barreled torpedo launchers one on each side of the ship yet all of that is missing!

was this meant to be historical?

Not tested with the DW physics, but the design should (more or less) fit into the DW design rules so it shouldn't be too out of place.

Is this meant to be used in dangerous waters?

v I doubt your capital ship has never been under 97% hp unless you are against the 1.0 diffuculty DWG.
