Re: UK Naval Gun Fire Support

The RN will end up with 8 type 26 Frigates, 6 type 45 Destroyers and at least 5 type 31 Frigates (although the RN really needs a minimum of at least 8 type 31's).

The current type 23 Frigates will...

It is very unlikely the type 31 Frigates will have 76mm guns, The three main designs all feature guns of 4.5 inch - 5inch.

The idea is that the Type 31's will be general purpose Frigates (not...

RAF Transport Aircraft

I see that the game retires the latest RAF Hercules (C-130) aircraft in 2022. Not at all sure this will actually happen, since the SAS really does not like the larger Atlas A400M for covert drops.

This looks like much the best new patch in years.
Any chance of Pagoda as used in Burma, etc as a multi hex building?

Re: winSPMBT V11 upgrade for 2017

I do see what you mean, but UK has retained stocks of mines, of assorted types, "for use in exceptional circumstances" ie, a major war.

So if UK ends up fighting Russia or China or North Korea...
