Gunboat 01

A large, rather heavily armed 19th-century gunboat, based on the Gilyak class of gunboats, built for the Imperial Russian Navy, adjusted for Neter gameplay. The funnels work at full speed. To compliment smaller and faster torpedo gunboats, I created this gunboat to be slower, heavier and dish out more firepower, taking all the damage while smaller gunboats harass the enemy. She carries the same bow torpedo tube as smaller torpedo gunboats, but boats a much more powerful armament, for only twice the cost. It can hold its own; can outmatch a Ransack at close-medium range, and a Pilferer at medium-long range. - 2261 blocks - 29,773 materials - 68m length - 11m beam - ~2,600HP - 14,000 materials - 2x 1m steam screws - 20m/s top speed @ ~1. 5 materials/second. - 3x '6. 7-inch' 170mm howizters, fused HE/FR, low velocity, range: 3,000m (front turret is a twin) - 8x '4. 5-inch' 114mm guns, fused HE/FR, medium velocity, range 2,000m - 1x '20-pounder' 94mm simple type A(L) gun, fused HE/FR, range: 1,500m - 2x 40mm 'pom pom' AA guns. - 1x fixed bow torpedo tube, 8m HE/FR torpedo with APN guidance, range: 3,000m, speed 56m/s - Armor consists of metal - alloy slopes - wood in center, tapering to alloy-alloy at bow and stern. - Good starter craft.
