A Derf has sidemounts but the problem with sidemounts is that they require a lot of skill to get your ship at the right range. Being that close also risks ramming and return fire from other sidemounts. Whereas stern guns leave a lot more distance to stay safe and if things start to go badly you are already pointed away from trouble. A Derf also requires more skill to battle effectively than a cruiser, she is as long as a NC but lacks the rudder and firepower so can be an easy target if handled poorly. Also a Derf is a crowded boat internally compared to a Deutschland.
That said I still miss my old Derfflinger. And your friend should build what they want to build. | | | |

| | 06 May 2010 06:52 PM | | Don't worry I am sure my NC will have its share of problems to work out before I can transition from hunted to hunter. Besides with my luck everyone will be like hey there's Hovey, he hasn't sunk in years, get him!!! | | | |

| | 13 May 2010 07:25 PM | | It sounds like we are going to have a lot of people come this weekend. At least 6 ships.
Hovey, have you looked at swan lake yet? If I may I think it would be best to have it at coal creek just because there are so many new people coming. I know my mom would come if it was in coal creek and my camera crew. But if everybody wants swan lake then swan lake it is. | | | Kapitän zur See Ernst Lindemann | |

| | 13 May 2010 09:46 PM | | Sorry, I got over there and then I forgot to post about it. Swan Creek looks beautiful. Nice sand bar to hang out on and plenty of water to play in. | | | |

| | 13 May 2010 09:49 PM | | I would like to get everybodies opinion. I think we should stay up at coal creek this time. Just because we do have a lot of new people who are coming. Tacoma is a long way. So, if thats ok with you Hovey, I think Nick and I would like to stay at Coal Creek.
Also, have to talked to Phill about Swan Creek? | | | Kapitän zur See Ernst Lindemann | |

| | 13 May 2010 10:18 PM | | Well, its an awfully long way to drive, but as long as I get to shoot at peoples ships it will be worth it. If you guys both have people coming then Coal Creek makes more sense than Swan Creek does. | | | |

| | 13 May 2010 10:24 PM | | Its really not that bad, only takes me about an hour and a half to get there. Be aware though that Phill has a similar drive to get there. He is just coming from a different direction than me. | | | |
