Ldeathbow -> What's the point of a Momo Class DD? (3/22/2011 10:34:11 PM)

Seriously...If it weren't a naval vessel, I'd use it as a paperweight [:)], But I don't want to get my battle plans all soggy. Fortunately there are only 2.
While it has typical speed, it seems lacking in almost EVERY other aspect. 42 rounds of ammo (total) for it's 3 deck guns makes it, IMO, ill suited to Bombard or Surface Combat missions (and only 2 torpedoes doesn't help that any) as that limited ammo will be expended in VERY short order. NO AA or ASW ability makes it all but useless as an escort, IMO, as your major threats will be (not neccesarrily in this order) Sub, Air and Surface units. For about 1 1/2 years, until 6/43, when the first upgrade is applied (and this class FINALLY gets both AA and ASW abilities, at the cost of the torpedoes - oh well, who uses torps to sink an aircraft [:)]) vessels of this class are 835 tons of deadweight.
I'd appreciate ANY opinion to the contrary, along with an example of a real use for this craft.
