Hi all,
Australia has a couple of OLIVER HAZARD PERRY FFG's in real life.
In the game, will they have the Australian ensign on them or will all the FFG's be all US?
On a different note, any Aussies out there looking to form a unit to play in DW ? I'm keen.

| yeh we have 6 of them. but i think all in the game will be US flagged (if not then yippeee). besides the later 4 of the RAN's OHP's now have a VLS launcher for ESSM forward of the mk13 launcher, so they are better equipped than the american ships and slightly different to those in the game. |

Better equipped except for the lack of a towed array; and the hull mounted sonar (Mulokka?) is much different from the US SQS-56.
To be fair, both of those issues are being addressed in the midlife upgrade, although I can't find specifically which systems are being fitted. |

I was actually wanting a close up of the VLS system. I did copy the url in which it's shown, but the smoke hides the VLS.
