Double Hull Fighter Ships (twin fusilage / twin

… we now have special buildable premium ships in the classes of destroyers and frigates mainly.

Just for inspiration for future specific crafting ships, here are two suggestions for you to constructively criticize and/or comment on :

For a possibly interesting buff or modification of the class of fighters I would suggest the concept of ::
#1 a twin-fuselage (twin-engine) gunship

  • This makes heavy 2-hull fighters a big quicker because they have 2 engine hull structures in parallel
  • Makes fighters have more than 4 main gun pods, e.g. like 5 main gun turrets (like we have 4 and 6 gun frigates)
  • Makes room for special module structures for fighters (a variable mount pod like in destroyers)?
  • Examples:

Me 609

F-82 Twin Mustang

Tupolev_ANT-22 ,   Тупољев_АНТ-22

Savoia-Marchetti SM.92

think of two Jericho Katanas (rank7) glued together.

For a possibly interesting buff or modification of the class of interceptors I would suggest the concept of ::
#2 a twin-boom interceptor spaceship

  • This makes one think of 3 main guns for interceptors (2 front, 1 back)
  • This is that the hull with two booms make the ship capable of firing almost in 360 deg around itself,
  • Accommodates twin inline or radial engines having lengthy turbochargers
  • Give an unobstructed field of view or field of fire to the rear (i more main weapon directed to the rear.
  • examples:

P-61 Black Widow

P-38 Lightning

 

 

This concept is WiP

It’s a space game,what,now you would want some ships with needlessly huge cannons for bunker-busting?(totally not mentioning KV-2)

No! As write:

a) twin- fusilage (=engine) would not be able to bunker bust - maybe faster example of an ‘pirate’ Empire fighter

b) twin-boom would make a different pilots cabin in the centre of the interceptor with one cannon directed aft (not something bunker bust) - possible a ‘pirate’ ECM-interceptor hunter?

We all know that the only use for such ships is to patrol cities made above clouds and such.
