Target Series!

For a taste of variety, the Early Elco-class are more lightly-armed thanks to the Mark 8 Torpedo Tube Launchers which weighed a lot… and the massive titanium balls of their crews too actually.. go figure.

I admit, it's not really morally correct to upload two “technically identical” ships, but I mean come on, you gotta admit that you have to separate those two apart, I mean have you ever heard how fkn amazing the PT Boats are? PT-109 stayed afloat for 12 hours after being rammed and cut in half by the Destroyer IJN Amagiri, and yes, that is the PT Boat future U.S President John F. Kennedy was on, how about PT-167? that ship tanked an unexploded torpedo off Bougainville Island, did it sink? NAH, THAT BOAT REMAINED IN SERVICE AND WAS REPAIRED THE NEXT DAY, talk about daring mfs, imagine. (yes I know they somewhat aren't related to early Elco-class, I just had to rant about how awesome they are, also I made two separate ships because they are two different ships technically, and because Early Elco-class automatically will have less parts than the Late one so spam em all you want..

total : 17 development points
enjoyment : 7 out of 10
notes : although detail-wise and armaments it is more better than the Elkan-class, it is actually less accurate in terms of launching the torps into water and hitting, which in hindsight, is actually caused by a faulty code on the rudder, however, it is dropping twice the torpedoes and on a wider spread so it is more interesting for actually… torpedobeating.

A PT boat (short for patrol torpedo boat) was a motor torpedo boat used by the United States Navy in World War II. It was small, fast, and inexpensive to build, valued for its maneuverability and speed but hampered at the beginning of the war by ineffective torpedoes, limited armament, and comparatively fragile construction that limited some of the variants to coastal waters. In the US Navy they were organized in Motor Torpedo Boat Squadrons (MTBRONs).
