There are many ships I want to see that are very derpy although a few have been mentioned already.
Coastal TT:
• Armstrong Flat Iron Gunboats which could be added for all trees (national bias the South Australian gunboat HMCS Protector which sits just off the coastline in central Queensland), Also the Italians getting the Castore class…
• Monitors, from 100 tonnes to 10000 tonnes they could all come with with their slow but dangerous armament from 3" - 18".
• River Gunboats, Like the Insect class be it WWI or WWII configuration, British gunboats Una & Pamela, late WWII boats built of teak wood an have a 40 mm & lewis guns, There’s a few paddlewheels thar could be added as well.
• Tallships, There were a few in the first world war iirc, there was also armed smacks in that conflict & heh post WWII there was armed junks from china.
• mixed powered vessels like with sails & steam engines eg the US Annapolis class gunboat.
• Coastal Defence Battle/ships which would be the top of the trees Lelutoo has posted quite a few swedish ones over on reddit, But ohh so many trees could get them an plus they have coastal in their names… (The US could get a few as well as the brits, National bias again HMVS Cerberus, fun note these are RML guns).
• further torpedo boats besides just the Chidori class although an as designed one would be great (it was a really top heavy ship at one point an would look like a mini Yūdachi in a way, Bleckley class TB (it had an aircraft), The Type 1935/1937 torpedo boats which only main gun is at the stern.
• Hydrofoils like that Sparviero class in the CDK or the USS Flagstaff with a M551 turret
• USS Carronade a ship built for firing rockets
• Type 14 Second Rate ASW Frigate (so think a smaller Type 12 with three dual 40 mm & a Limbo mortar).
• Project 775 with those two AK-725
• Project 1208 & Project 1248/12481 so gunboats with T-55 turrets & AK-630’s
BlUeWaTeR:
• Frankenships, Project 30/Project 7, Tribal class halfs, there was also a US ship iirc.
• Apollo class protected cruisers setup for the Zeebrugge Raid with them getting flamethrowers on them.
• USS Vesuvius, Dynamite Gun cruiser
• Auxiliary / Armed Merchant Cruisers like SMS Cap Trafalgar, HMS Rawalpindi, HMS Jervis Bay, Atlantis HSK-2 (we have her old name in game), the Kormoran HSK-8 (F in the chat for HMAS Sydney II).
• MAC ships & Seaplane Tenders if carriers get added.
• I do still think it could be added but the Project 1143 Heavy Aviation Cruiser Baku as a AA ships or an aircraft armed ship with a Yak-38 loaded with bombs (aircraft must be researched to be used)
• Helicopter Cruisers: Project 1123, Jeanne d’Arc, Andrea Doria class, Vittorio Veneto (add in this as a way of adding helis into the mode).
These are the ones I can think of atm But there’s so many strange ships I know I’m forgetting an will keep adding if I think of them.
