That is about as far from the Virginia in reality as you can get. Her C3I capability alone surpasses anything on the inside of any hull period. Besides, you are forgetting about another specialty. Littoral combat also provides for an advanced surveillance and Special Operations delivery capability.

Some personnel in this thread also seem to be searching for balance. And as we all know, balance is the enemy of a good sim. Things are the way they are...

I noticed another poster mentioned how this has been posted before. Well my my, why don't we all shut up for good. Half the threads on this forum are repeats of the firsty half. There is no harm in a little reptition. If it was an issue, a mod would step in.

not to worry Kaptain if the time comes to protect those precious convoys the Canadian Navy will be there to answer the call

btw my uncle was one of the engineers on the turbine engine system 28+ Knots is just what we tell the tourists ;) and i hear there real quiet: :D
it doesnt reflect anywhere on my profile that i grew up in Canada if you'll all indulge me with a liitle family pride :lol:

You got every right too have some pride in the Halifaxs those are nice Frigates. They lack two of the torp tubes the OHP has and no SM-2 capability like the Iroquois but they sure are nice to have in a battle group.

Yes of course me being Canadian as well, that would be really great to have the Halifax class in the game.

We will have in all of them Evolved Sea Sparrow (yes not as powerful as the SM-2, but very effective for the role of the Halifax class and has a limited area defense capability). They have outstanding sonar/towed array capability, new CIWS and the 57MM Mk3 coming shortly on line.
The H-92 Cyclone will be a very very good helicopter when operational.

So of course those are not american but why not having either an Halifax or Brandenburg or even type 23 frigates to replace the older OHP in this game.

I've said before I've wanted a Brit FF or DDG, Type 23 has been my #1 choice from the RN for a new DW surface platform. But I would rather have an OPFOR Frigate first, the FFG-7 needs a foil. But after each side is balanced a couple of extra NATO and non-NATO units would be nice.
