R/C Naval Combat

Its still a big target that cant out run or out turn opponents. Go triple sterns and run it like a huge cruiser, throw in a sidemount so you aren't totally defenseless up front. But any 24 sec axis boat would want to come and play and probably smack it around. Even if you ran dual sidemounts on each side the lack of turning would make it very hard to get them on target and youd still have a ton of target area that a better turning ship (ie most of them) could stay out of the way of your guns while keeping you under theirs. Even if you gave it 10 units its going to be a massive target and turn like a dog. If you like it and want to build one im sure you can have fun with it but you'll probably get sunk fairly often.

I think the Alaska would work somewhat well in Treaty. Although it is still a massive ship for it's units, in Treaty that size hull is actually useful with it's huge reserve bouancy. It'll be a hard ship to sink.

I agree. I'd think about running one in Treaty with a true speed advantage, but in IRCWCC or MWC, she's going to get her clock cleaned.

I understand in IRWCC ship was moved to 5 units and then with the extra rudder got a little bigger rudder. My question is did this help? I like the ship have a 1/16 scale and it looks sharp on the water.
