Rifled guns are more stable at long range than smooth bore, however, for the same amount of propellant etc, smooth bores have a higher muzzle velocity. Trajectory or curve, are dependent on velocity, drag, weight, aerodynamics, sectional density........ Rifled guns can only fire APFSDS and HEAT ammu...

They are from a new AU. The intention is to escort to far flung trade partners, all weapons shipments are to be escorted. No smaller units are expected to engaged in escorting. I used launchers due to the length of the ER AAM's (and to avoid boring VL flats). All AAMs's are active seeker, hence no i...

I nicked sebu's masts instead of hull mounted aegis types and rotating arrays. https://dl.dropboxuserconten...
