No problem, it is based on the Somers (in fact, the Somers and the Mahan had similarities, they were build at the same time. The Somers was designed as heavy armed Flottila-leader-destroyer, and that is why she is virtually the wrong ship for hunting u-boats
)
Changes:
2nd funnel (with resizing), 2nd mast, aft platform deleted, small tower on bridge deleted, torpedoobjects added, textures, armament.
I think the fist funnel has to be a little more narrow. This is easy to do. If you look at the photos, there were some differences between the classmates. The small tower on the second mast can be added, but it is not seen on all ships. I think about that.
armament (real / Sh3-weapons)
- 2x5" Single turrets / 2x5InchSingle
- 3x5" Single unshileded / 3x4.7Inch unshielded
--> changes to 2 x4.7Inch unshielded and 1x40mm Bofors Twin in 1943
--> 2x5" turrets in lieu of the the two remaining unshielded guns in 1944.
