JS Noshiro(FFM3-Mogami) now at Stirling.



Arafura apparently also on its way to Stirling.

Earlier in this thread, the height difference of the bridge between the Mogami and the Improved Mogami was discussed with the height on the original design being considered too low with forward vision being inadequate & being partially obscured by the gun.

The pic shown in the article link provided by Reptilia is taken from an angle which highlights how low the bridge is. The Improved Mogami design appears to have corrected that.

Simulation of an ANZAC frigate vs a Chinese Type 054A. Won't spoil it.
Entertaining, and nice to see an ANZAC modelled with NSM. I've watched several of the grim reapers videos.

I did enjoy the 1 mile engagement, a bit unfair to ANZAC I think.

It modelled some EW capability in the later fight, however the ANZACs have a lot more than was shown. It provides an inkling of the effectiveness of EW in defence. It's just as important as the ESSM and other anti missile systems.

Not all the NSM features were on full display either, such as terminal stage maneuvering.

It does however demonstrate the difficulty of even the most modern missiles have to penetrate defences. Both ships fired off their full anti ship missile magazine (8 missiles each), with most being defeated before reaching their target.

I like to think that old ANZAC, with an 8 cell VLS still remains very competitive with modern larger frigates. I have always held the view they remain very capable combat ships that punch well above their weight grade. Might have limited strike options, but they are nasty porcupines.

To use a cliche, it's the size of the fight in the dog that counts.
