It has the potential to be quite deadly in coastal with those 40mm Bofors and the Browning twin mounts and it being a hydrofoil vehicle spells grievance for everyone else.

Will this be able to use the MGM-51B Shillelagh?

Was that thing just hovering above the water?
Truly breathtaking technology
Edit
Thinking about it, does this thing just go above torpedos and prevents detonation?

This is sick! Just saw something about this
uninteresting bp. Vehicle could be fun, but naval isn’t and we already know the 2 other vehicles (boring ones). The only thing that made me buy the bp was the level 14 reward, usually a low tier fun vehicle, but can’t have fun with gaijin i guess.
So… interchangable guns are no longer a game limiation?. Leonardo Enforcer on the Challenger 2 with Interchangable weapons now an option?

Live fast, kill fast, run aground fast, die fast.
Will the wings be retractable? I doubt it and you’ll be left with a very deep draft at low speeds. I wonder how many will suffer the same fate as her real life competitor the Tucumcari that struck a reef at 40kts causing major damage and injuring her entire crew?

Is HE the only warhead that can be used by Flagstaff? Do you plan to prepare any other warheads?
Whatever it is, it is a great reward for Coastal!

That’s what is named for 😂
Only one of its class ever and it went USN to USCG.
They haven’t been a problem for ages - couple of planes get them, for example - selected as modification.

This was a real boat. It operated under both the USN and USCG.

Exchangable guns is probably a vehicle by vehicle basis.
The Flagstaff and Tucumcari were prototypes only, although they did see some service testing. It’s very likely the entire turret/gun/magazine could be removed and replaced as a single unit which is often not the case where most vehicles have theirs distributed.

Well that’s a very pessimistic outlook on it, and also no, we don’t know the other 2 vehicles yet, so don’t just jump to conclusions

If the handles like the Tucumcari, “maneuverability” doesn’t means what you think it means.

Didn’t expect much from the US costal flee
Hydrofoils are garbage in WT…
What are they?
Until you mean one with a JM61 or AK-725 mount heh (1-Go class & Project 206M respectively), This thing has a chance with the bonk gun (& if it ever does get the MGM-151).
