The Bravy is powercrept and should have its missile reload rate buffed

The Bravy in its current state is powercrept by the Charles F. Adams class. Both are pretty much the same ship with the same playstyle, being high BR destroyers made out of cardboard with a poor gun armament but SAM launcher on the back which is the main gimmick of both of the ships.

Previously, the Bravy was the only bluewater ship with a SAM launcher until the Charles F Adams was added, which has pretty much powercrept it due to having a MUCH better SAM launcher.

Compared to the Bravy, the missiles on the Charles F Adams reload more than twice as fast (50s vs 20s), have around 7 more KG of TNT equivelant, and 42 reloads compared to the Bravy’s 18.

Anyways, the bravy should have its missile reload buffed to be similar to the Charles F Adams.

No.

It’s a smaller target and likes to void shells in ways Lütjens and Charles can’t.

Meanwhile all the nations that dont have any missiles ships…

Current missile reload rate of Charles F Adams class and Bravy are historical.
Rather expect ships with modified launcher to have better reload rate(though they don’t have guns like Bravy)

It may feel like it but the Project 56K preforms better in other aspects compared to the Charles F. Adams & Lütjens subclass, take for example as of current you can use radar when using the SAM for tracking a target that’s locked (which the NATO ships can’t atm), it also has a guidance mode that neither NATO ship gets which allows for it to self guide up to an incoming aircraft (I forget the name of this mode).

Now correct me if wrong here (not touched this ship in a bit) but can bravy guide two missiles at once? (Swear it could), if so that’s a plus over the RMI-24A armed ships, ntm the S-125 has 2000 metres extra range compared to the RIM-24A.

The Bravy also gets access to heavy antiship torpedoes of the 53-65 type & Rocket assisted depth charges of the RBU-2500 type for cqc defence and furthermore several SM-20-ZIF turrets. Meanwhile the NATO ships at current only have Mk. 46 ASW torpedoes. If we do eventually get submarines & cold war ASW weaponry is added the NATO ships will have the upper hand.

I would argue the pros/cons of Bravy make up for not having a great reload rate on the ZIF-101 launcher vs the Mk. 11 & Mk. 13 launchers.

Hmm damnit Vim… get your arse up to BR 5.3 already, then I can reuse this missile destroyers again, then I can refresh myself on every pro & con.
