The fleet grows: Hulls 9 and 10 Motor Torpedo Boats
MTB-H9 \"Bluejay\": First generation fast attack craft, sporting dual torpedoes and a 40mm dual purpose frag ACS turret. Advanced controls allows the craft to plane across the water, for high speed (25-35m/s) and manouvreability. That is also its primary defence, since it is armored with a paper napkin and a prayer. Pictured next to the refitted H8-C Monitor, nicknamed \"Dodo\". [Mat: 17k, Vol: 570m3, Dim: 29x7x8, FP: 10.43]
MTB-H10 \"Kestrel\": Second generation FAC, taking the lessons from the H9 to make a more hydrodynamically sound hull, resulting in a hull which needs next to no advanced controls to maintain stability. This comes at the expense of the extremes of speed and manouvrability, its top speed being only 25m/s. The Kestrel keeps the torpedoes, but forgo the ACS-turret for a battery of fast missiles, and a more extensive (read: existing) missile countermeasure system. It also has actual armor around the magazine. The silouette is marked by the characteristic asymmetry of the superstructure, with the armored cockpit being placed side by side the missile launcher, which out of combat is folded into the hull. [Mat: 22.5k, Vol: 850m3, Dim: 37x9x11, FP: 11.75]
Since I have nearly 40 hours in this game now, I thought I should actually start a campaign. So I needed some small starter craft. It's quite fun trying to cram everything you need into such small craft, and balance and seaworthiness is definitivly a challenge. Though slower than the Bluejay, I'm more proud with the Kestrel, since it runs beautifully with a single rudder as the only control surface, compared to Bluejays propeller turning, ACB-controlled planing and roll control jets. Also it looks way cooler.

The H8-C, newly christened "Dodo" (because it might be slow, clumsy and not long for this world, but packs a mean peck), is updated with a simple 179mm deck mounted DIF-gun to cover the blind zone, and give some notion of defence agains light, mobile targets. In addition is a reworked firecontrol system, and a couple of flare launchers to somewhat mitigate the ships complete
