Romanian CBB/AC design competition

[TexanCowboy]

correct. I'm using American terminology.

[Korpen]

correct. I'm using American terminology.

I meant in-game terminology, and there is no "america" here. :)

I'm sorry, how do I explain this?

A frigate in Romania is about the same as a CSA sloop. By that definition, my Armoured Cruiser is a frigate, and it will be classified as such in the massive fleet reorganization.

[The Rock Doctor]

We could make a deal, I could make you 3-4 frigates for that ship. I have the space

Hm, that would be in the region of 50-100 000ton of ships then? (15-30kton each).

...would've been a good deal for Jef, though.

[TexanCowboy]

yeap. Unfortunatly for him, I'm not that naive

Mod wet blanket time: a reminder that BP is a capability, not a commodity to be traded. Romania might, of course, build something with it's BP for Peru, but what that is and what ship it ends up going in would need to be specifically detailed.

Romania could built 4 x Squadron gun boats for Peru
