How can we make warboats cool again?
>>29320346
Dazzle paint
Cover them in glitter and add flames
Make them transexual friendly.
>>29320346
Don't let Dr. Who fags design a ship.
>>29320417
Kek

>>29320417
I have no idea what you're talking about dear boy, you mean you DON'T have Dalek boarding parties?
>>29320417
I dont care if its supposed to be tongue in cheek sci-fi.
It's shit writing isn't the worst part. Its the SJW and Tumblrites that came on its corpse and put the final nails in the coffin with their retarded fanfic.
My ex roommate once got angry at the the newer series creator or head writer or some shit because he didn't make the doctor androgynous enough. I shit you not, he was too cis.
>>29320346
Trump will make assault-boats great again.
>>29320373
like this?
>>29320346
Obviously by making them submersible, cheap, railgun and missile armed carrier PT boats.
>>29320346
by not making them look like ice burgs
>>29320666
>forgetting the helicopter deck on the back
>>29320680
Also forgot the armor belt and to mention modernized battleships.
>>29320666
So, making a boat with a price of carrier?
Make battles big enough to launch planes from their guns
That way no one can say carriers are more useful
>>29320715
fund it
>>29320689
You clearly missed the "cheap" part, that obviously wouldn't be a problem.
armor
Build cheaper ships but more of them.
Are expensive, capable radars & tall masts truly needed on naval ships?
Why have a radar that can track targets at 1000 miles away when the horizon limits you to maybe 20 or 30.
>>29320373
>>29320659
Well there's one of that class with a dragon on it, if that counts?
Called HMS Dragon, naturally
>>29320715
I suppose you mean to say battleships?
fewer missiles, more big boatgats
>>29320821
what about guns that shoot missiles?
>>29320346
Hydrofoils
Go fast, shoot sea niggas, ride off into the sunset in style.
>>29320837
shoot guns that shoot guns that shoot missiles
>>29320870
Could we fire people from ship mounted trebuchets, armed with grenades that turn into more grenades on impact??. Dam that would be sweeeeet.
>>29320870
brilliant!
>main gun fires projectile gun
>projectile gun flys towards target and gets a lock on it
>gun then fires missile
>>29320346
That boat is cool enough, if you compare it to the ships of other nations, British ships are the coolest, others are ugly ships.
>>29320880
>>29320877
Good lord, why army doesn't hire us already
Together we're gonna make warboats cool again!
Put sexy armored angel statues on them.
>>29320884
>British ships are the coolest, others are ugly ships.
try again friendo
>>29320884
The tin canister hath spoketh
>>29320743
Without SM-6 not much sense to have.
You should look what is Tu-22M3, Tu-142. Or what Boeing 707, Lockheed SP-2H Neptunes and C-130 did during Falklands war.
>>29320659
>>29320346
Cannons.
Big Ones.
Bitches love cannons.
>>29320346
Like this?
>>29320898
Looks like you guys forgot the French glorious ships
Stop making them so obscenely tall.
Don't stick party hats on them.
More external weapons.
And It really wouldn't hurt to paint them in a more interesting manner, or at least give each ship something unique.
>>29321336
No thanks, if I want a FREMM I'll get one from the Italians that isn't a massive fucking downgrade like the French ones.
I'll concede, they are pretty though.
>>29320346
Adding more guns.
>>29320346
>How can we make warboats cool again?
Start by understanding what makes warboats cool in the first place:
> Sensors
> Weapons
>>29322285
Not bad.
>>29322327
Think you meant to say
>Size of cannons
>Aesthetics
>Size of wake
and hiding those ugly looking chimneys

Arleigh Burkes are beautiful ships. They still have the classic cold war look to them but with some modern twists. Also packs much more firepower than any of the euro "destroyers" posted in here.
kirov os cool in my book

>>29322494
>>29322516
nice U-Boat....
>>29322494
>>29322516
Honestly a step in the right direction. Goes back to early ironclads like the CSS Virginia but has a modern look, almost like a Star Destroyer.
I think the Zumwalt looks really cool. But holy shit is she huge.
>>29322494
>>29322516
It's like a modern ironclad
>>29320346
Take the mosque off the top.
>>29321336
>More dimples than a golf ball
It looks like it's covered in fabric
>>29322377
Form follows function.
Doing the job is literally the only cool thing about a warship.
>>29322494
when will it get rail guns?
>>29322891
The DDG-1000 won't have railguns. The DDG-1002 might get one railgun, but its still officially up in the air.
>>29322725
warships haven't had "a job" since before WW2
>>29322494
>>29320346
Lasers for point defense and guided shells for everything else.
>>29323390
Hmm, do you mean as in they've been uselss or do you mean it in the incredibly literal sense of
'they've not had a [singuler] job, but many'.
I hope its the latter....
>>29323695
Lol
>>29320580
I stopped watching part way through the David Tenant season, Christopher Eccleston was pretty good.
Honestly though I think I'll just stick to books for sci-fi, they'll never make a film of something like Chasm City or The Algebraist and if they did they'd fuck it up anyway.
Old person rant over.
Just contribute I support he dazzle paint idea.d
>>29320680
>>29320684
He's referencing a retard from a thread a week or so back,
One autist figured you could build something the size and cost of a PT boat with all the abilities of a modern destroyer, but for the cost of a PT boat.
>>29322494
some empire strikes back shit right there
>>29325516
Naval retards are the worst.
>>29325701
There it is, glad someone capped all of that.
>>29322629
>looks like it's covered in fabric
New naval tech called gore-tex laminate.
Keeps the ship lightweight yet breathable.
Let's them run away faster.
Because let's face it, modern firepower is much more effective than modern naval armour.
>>29325546
>>29325701
>thinks PT boats should come back when RHIBs, Mk. V SOCs and SWCCs are a thing
>thinks a PT boat should fill a role it couldn't possibly fill because of its size
>"By weight PT boats carried more munitions than battleships"
>wants them to have VLS
>tries to compare PTs to modern support ships
>thinks money will EVER be an issue as far as American armed forces are concerned
>has no idea how anti-ship missiles work
>actually drinks Listerine
I can't make it through this whole cap. I'm done.
>>29320346
Call it want it is.
A Warship.
There fixed it for you.
>>29326662
What does PT boats have to do with those other boats
they don't carry any torpedos
>>29326808
I was using them as a reference, dude. If you read the cap you'll see exactly what I was saying.
>>29326662
Oh, you...
I never compared PT boats to modern ships, I compared them to battleships in terms of the weight percentage of munitions.
And yes, I drink Listerine.
Are you gonna go hate on homeless people for eating out of trash cans next?
>>29320666
And hypersonic supercavitation
>>29327298
>>29327326
The listerine fiend has returned. It's time to abandon ship.
>>29320346
Having an on board dominatrix to help the sailors relieve stress.
>>29322494
God damn is that a nice pic, it's a pyramid of steel floating in defiance of Poseidon himself.
Fact: slabasided, angular superstructures look like shit. Bring back having continuous 360' deck space. Like seriously, why have just a fore and aft deck?
>>29327515
>zumwalt deckhouse
>pyramid of steel
pick one
>>29327422
So, what do you do with this?
>>29322891
This year. They originally wanted to test it on a JHSV, but they decided they might deploy it on a DDG-1000 instead. Other than that, within the next 5-10 years in all likelihood. 10 years maximum.
>>29327608
You let a hot chick put you in it, and then you scream till you pass out and you wake up refreshed.
>>29327608
That thing right there? That's for sensory deprivation. Shit's insane. I mean literally insane. It will drive you insane. Sensory deprivation is also used as a torture technique.
>>29327655
That doesn't sound like fun.
Can I put the hot chick in it and fuck her ass and her throat? In that order.
>>29327704
Not wanting a women to control you sexually, what are you a virgin?
>>29327704
That goes against everything that sensory deprivation stands for! How dare you!
>>29327704
No it doesnt work that way.
>>29320800
That'd be Wales
Hey, what's up guys?
I'm the future.
>>29322494
This is an American "Destroyer".
Make the hulls out of concrete so size wont mean insane costs. Then build shittonnage.
>>29329354
Fuck off, future!
>>29320800
Not sure about the ship design, but I do approve of the dragon.
World War II had the best fucking ships, though World War I and the inter-war were also pretty based. Modern ship design looks horrible; absolutely nothing aesthetic about them.
>>29320884
>That boat is cool enough, if you compare it to the ships of other nations, British ships are the coolest, others are ugly ships.
Except that Russian ship looks suave as fuck.
>>29320346
Install Greek Fire
did somebody say war boat?
Build stealthy, futuristic versions of the Kirov.
>>29322252
noice, but i prefer the cleaner lines of the Izumo
>>29320893
Can't. Gotta minimse that RCS
>>29331139
What if we make the statues stealthy with advanced stealth modelling
>>29320346
Boat hos.
The answer is boat hos.
People wouldn't care if your entire Navy was a single rubber raft, stick a scantily clad slut and a case of beer on it and itll be popular.
>>29320893
>not a nude figurehead.
>Seamen! Which seaman's semen is on the head again?
>>29322547
zumwalt is bigger than battleship colorado
its nuts
>>29331312
No it's not, it's about 25 feet short.
That said, it's still a huge destroyer. Sadly it allegedly carries less missiles than a Burke.
But the Zumwalts have a stealth anchor. A STEALTH ANCHOR.
>>29331329
>it's about 25 feet short.
yeah you're right but the fact that it's almost as big is fucking NUTS
stealth 16 inch guns when
>>29331329
>stealth anchor
i need pics
>>29320346
Set model detail to high
Paint them in peace colors again.
>>29320346
>thread title not "How to make Warboats great again?"
OP is a faggot
Bring back dazzler paint jobs!
>>29322285
Tank guns.
>>29331553
And I used plural for a reason.
>>29331553
>>29331555
literally the most retarded design i've ever seen
>>29327515
its a pyramid of balsa wood
