Algerie level and refits

[Hugbiel]

I was surprised to see that Algerie is at skirmish level. especialy when their british conterpart the County class ( Kent class and here Norfolk class ) is raid.

the stat are not so different :
norfolk
+radar, Speed +1, dam+1/15, crew +8/30, main range -2/30, secondary r_+2/12, ad_-1/3, AA +2/2, torp DD +1/3.

Look like one Norfolk is no match against two Algerie.

And, on paper, Algerie is superior on every way to a county class cruiser except on range and top speed.


A last question, I don't have the rule yet ( seaking for player first, mines are on the wrong side of the Atlantic ), did the rules have lines for refit change during the war ? For exemple the free french get some toy when they joined the Allied ( Radar and AA gun )
Algerie was refited in the same way a few month before beeing scutled too.

Well, to answer the first Question:

Its close. I am actually surprised to see it in the skirmish slots. It will suffer at the hands of aircraft, its torpedos do less damage and it can take slightly less punishment. I think it might be a Raid ship....

Its only the first release. I expect something similar to the "sky full of stars" that ACTA had. There are bound to be bugs.

The second question:

There are no other refits. It appears that the ships in the rule book are the variants that saw the most action.

Its nice to see that I'm not the only player on the Forums pulling for fleets other then the IJN or the USN.
