Nice work just tried it. But it seems that the ai gunner always aims to high and is very slow with the shots (6-7 sec between each shots). Also the gun could use some more power. Its a 40mm gun with HE and it takes 10-12 shot to destroy the BRDM. Seems a bit much. Otherwise great work

Exellent boats! I just think that the crew is a bit blueish in the skin color...
Change the gun power to a bit more powerful..
I made a misson where the russian addon ship namned pauk attack ship faced off against this ship and it ended the way that they had to have airsupport. :P The a.i of course got gunned down or so and when the fremantles aproached a harbour that we had to capture a russian hind came up and toasted us almost like we sat in the old mark 2 bpr... ;D
And the damn hind fired only ffrs to. Now im not complaining about the armour.. Its about the weapons. It would be very useful if it had a rocketlauncher like the m2a2 in regular ofp has that can target and take down choppers. Well im not sure if the real version of this ship has anti-air rockets but still. But it was still a fun boat to play with and it had passenger seats to and that was kind of good.

If I'm not mistaken, there are no dedicated anti-aircraft missile launchers on this boat, as yet.
The 40mm Bofors is, however, a formidable AAA piece. In real life, anyway. The vessel is large enough to carry several MANPADS launchers, like Stinger/Starstreak, and men to fire them however.
Actually, these boats could carry a significantly increased weapons capability, if need be.
