Ships size problems in DW : CdG for example.
 

An MS member (bobterrius) take a look at the ship size and found that we Frenchie habve the smallest carrier in the world :D

The Charles de Gaulle in DW have the size of a big tug boat :rotfl: :rotfl:

Damn... RoW operates some small carriers. Really stretches the term right there.

In fact, CDG IS the smallest nuclear carrier in the world ... but not the smallest ship.

After the Amethyste, modelised as the louder submarine of the game and the poorest nuke, we have now a carrier sized like a FFG......
I tought DW was realistic ... even for french platforms.

Yea I did a check and the CDG is only a bit shorter than the Kuznetsov.

Hmmm me thinks I'll have to look at quite a few of the models.

Need to get Nimitz finished first.

Then the CVF which has changed its deck config AGAIN!!! :roll:

Then I can take a look at CDG and some other flat tops.

You think that is f-cked up check out that German PTG the 'Gepard'. :huh:

Hahaha, a ship for giants :lol:

very impressive gun isn't it ? :roll:

The gun?!?! Hell those missile launchers must fire Scuds! :lol:

Boy am I going to be busy :)

Now THAT'S a boat.

I formally protest the fact germans have much bigger guns than french in DW.
not fair

:lol: :-j

"We're gonna need a bigger boat!"

But own the smallest aircraft carrier of the world is an advantage.

Smaller means less detectable, and less recognizable in a task group.

And also it permits her to escap easily to the hellacious missile.

The rest of the story here

french do make small reactors

looking at the naval buget last year they are still paying for the CDG infact only 2/3 of the debt has been paid which means the navy is nearing bankruptcy if it continues for another few years.

french have only slightly updated the surface fleet but the fleet remains old not obsolete it still has some very capible ships but its old.

It's a confusion beetween the solution picture and show truth.
switch to show truth and you will see SS-N-27 are very effective against the CDG, even at long range.

SS-N-19 or SS-N-22 aint gunna miss it likely

i havnt seen the CDG personaly but ive seen a cassard DD and she looks ok ballenced clean linesish just a bit old

I have use this picture on a humoristic goal.

Only because this situation where the CDG has the height of a frigate make me laugh.

So I'm sorry if it isn't clear.

Moreover this picture date of one of my first game and I wasn't a good captain of ship.

french navy is on the way to be modernised

not really that obsolete ;)

I don't know what you mean about bankrupcy, but you probably misunderstood something.
something like budget restrictions.
The disease of our army was, from the end of cold war, each time gvnmt needed money, they were pick it in the armee budget.
now it seem over, from near a decade.
Political choices and budgets are more realistic and coherent, globals, not just addition here or there.

I hope one day we could have an european armee anyway.

you have a reserve declaration of bankruptcy is when there is $0 or minus numbers coming out.

those new ships do sound good too.

at least everyone is being upgraded now days

I'm resizing the CDG, is this correct looking or is it too big?
