Henry d'Esterre Darby Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 She looks very similar to Rattlesnake. Beautiful ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazednConfused Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 yep looking at the last pic we can assume that there would be 4x 9pdrs also - 2 front and rear - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Connor Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Lovely little brig-sloop, be nice to see her ingame. About the chasers, ships like this (indeed most ships) did not have dedicated chase guns, if chasers were needed then a pair of guns would be moved from the broadside to the otherwise empty chase ports. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a cool feature, takes so long to move them back and forth. Also, is it me, or does it have 9 gun ports on a side instead of 8?

Surcouf Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Pretty brig, for sure! It'll be interesting to oppose the French brig le Cygne. USS Syren vs le Cygne! They are a lot like them both. Le Cygne 1806-1808 Built in Le Havre Structural engineer Pestel Armament: 14-pdr carronades 24 + 2-gun of 8-pdr 90 '- 26' 6'' - 13 '6'' (29,28m - 8,74m - 4,35m) 350tx Link: http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/3248-liste-de-navires-fran%C3%A7ais/?p=67275 http://ancre.fr/en/monographies-en/35-monographie-du-cygne-brick-1806.html Edited March 21, 2015 by Surcouf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikawa Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Would be really nice to see her ingame. Small Brigs need a bit attention and more diversity, maybe @admin could consider that. Thanks in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
