A couple of points from me, no doubt ace will have something to say too.

Move that forward CIWS back a metre or two to avoid any interference with the bridge?
Cover the storage area for the RHIBs with a roller shutter door if the vessel is meant to be LO.
I personally think you could do with a higher freeboard towards the bow, I can see that gun and even the VLS getting battered by the elements.

Thanks for the comment. Im on a touchpad right now, but I'll see what I can do to fix these concerns.

Allright, I have looked into your concerns, and this is what I can tell.

The CIWS does appearently not interfere with the bridge at all. The bridge ends right where the CIWS stands.
The RHIB's have their shutter doors, a closed version was on the parts sheet. It will be added.
As for the freeboard, space between the bow and the gun is pretty much a third longer then with the Zeven Provincien while its gun is just 30 cm longer then the one on de Zeven Provincien and the hull shape is exactly the same. In short, any weather concerns should not be appearant.

So you've just got plane old empty space around the bridge then for that CIWS set-up which mos defiantly penetrates the superstructure immediately aft of the bridge which was why I said it wasn't really ideal.
Point noted.

Check the lining on the bow and aft of the bridge, it's a much harsher angle than yours. The gun is also protected against wash coming from the sides compared to the exposed mount on your vessel. Also note the height difference between the aft deck / helipad and foredeck on the DZP compared to yours which stays pretty much flush throughout.
That is why I don't really agree with the forward set-up.

the bow sizes are ok, indeed the shape might take some tweaking. the RHIB's: that's just cosmetic, I would draw one of them half closed. the CIWS.... I would move it back a bit, 5-10 pixels or so, so you can have a little more space for ammo. the ammo space might be larger then the CIWS itself.

I might have helped the problems, I might have messed them up badly.
-CIWS moved back 8 pixels
-Main gun elevated
-Changed bow
-Half-closed RhIB hangar

And also:
-Added bow thruster
-Changed walkway on the superstructure

No comments yet, so I suppose all is well. About the anti-sub armarment: what kind of torpedo tubes do I need?

one of these two, they are built into the hull. I retrieved them from the Part sheet.



Here is an example:

Nice drawing Heuhen !

Greetings.
