The OTO 76mm/62 Compact became available in 1964. It's visually identical to the Super Rapid.

RHIBs doesn't really become available before the early seventies, and the navies waited even longer than that to adopt them.

Ok, well I've replaced the stinger launcher, and I had to change the air search radar as well, because it was from the... late 70s I think?
What should I change the RHIB too?
I kept the gun, and swapped the heli:

you should swap the RHIB for an sloop or an whaleboat or something.

btw, you use the old version of the wasp, portsmouth bill redrew her some time ago.

That radar is overkill for your mission and seriously heavy. The antenna alone weighs more than a ton.

I believe the type 967 is time line appropriate, so is this better?

The type 967 was introduced with the type 22 frigates in the late seventies.

What about the type 960? It's definitely okay for time, and it looks light (not that that means much)

so, how bout it. Oh and I changed the boat.
