K.S.S Hunter DD-22

The Hunter is the second of my "next generation" ships, this time being based on the German T-22 destroyer.

The choice was pretty easy, since i really love the look of the T-22, and i had already made the torpedo-launchers (another leftover from the corrupted Königsberg replica).

 

The torpedo-launchers aren't exactly too functional, but they work well enough if the enemy happens to be at a certain distance away from the ship.

I originally designed them to be able to launch their rockets at the SPH from the default spawn position. Yes, i said rockets.

Spoiler

Making torpedoes at this scale would have been pretty-much impossible, and they would have probably been extremely impractical too.

 

The main turrets where a bit of a head scratch, as i wanted to give them proper detail, but i also wanted them to make from as few parts as possible.

What made this harder, was the fact that the turrets are open, with armor around them. So, would i give them proper detail and do the entire gun with all the seats, scopes, drivegears, etc. Or, do i jsut leave them empty on the inside.

I desided to go for a low detail inside, with some bare essentials.

Spoiler

Rest of the destroyer has been built in a similar fashion, all the essential details, and nothing more.

 

The Hunter ended up being more realistically sized because of the torp-tubes and the main turrets that are pretty much 1:1 sized.

It's pretty-much cruiser sized because of it.

 

Here is a little demonstration video showing the DD in action.
