Default 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

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

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!!!

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

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.

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.
