Thanks, and MANPADs might indeed be an idea... not sure how to make them though.

Hmm well you could just use the stingers and mistrals that are around or draw your own based on those drawings

There are a few fixed MANPADs launchers on the parts sheet, if nothing else those will give you inspiration.

I don't really see the need for manpads....
Add an extra director(one for each gun), also use a modern director from 9lv family, the "egg" is from the 60s. Not until the SEARAM as avalible the light SAMs where inferior to the 57mm ith a decent FC.

But I do know the RBS90 was considered as an alternative to the 40mm gun. But if you want to add MANPADs I think you could use the "flare/ chaff rocket" rails on each side of the gun.

may I note that the WM-20 'egg' was first developed in the 60's but various variants and upgrades made they were fitted on new ships of large navies, with one WM-28 placed on an brand new ship from the Moroccan navy as new as 2002.

I'll be looking up the radar issue...
Any advice on where to put the second director?

Yes, I know, but I do think it is a better idea to have optro/ radar directors, instead of an odd radar director.

I would put the second director just aft of superstructure, like the Gothenburg class.

Btw you would fry your RHIB with the start boost of the RBS 15, just in front of the boat.

Hmm... would it be possible to put a sort of "funnel" or "exhaust pipe" at the back of the launch rails/tubes to redirect the exaust fumes, probably out towards the sides?

Blast shields? Certainly. They are common fare around SSM launchers.

Source Materiel is always welcome.

Capital! Then it's updated! Leionet has also gotten some updates(mostly added some minor details), but considering Majhost plays it's own game it might take a while until you can see them.
Also, here comes a series of even more ships! First is a destroyer laid down in early 1946, essentialy a modded Öland class destroyer in design, and an even cheaper ripoff of the Hugin class patroll boat.
We start with the destroyer.
The Sigurd class destroyer was the first of the large destroyer classes of the Cold War Erikrike Navy. A class of three ships, all was named after different norse mythic heros. They represented a slightly awkward transition between the pre-war destroyer and the post-war ones. Their hull reminded more of the pre-war's, while her armament was decidedly post-war. They were also the first, and some of the few ships to mount the 57mm M/46* twin turret, hallmarking one of the typical features of post-war destroyers.
Serving onto 1976-78, they were the subject of major rebuilds in the late 60's when large parts of their armament was swapped for SAMs and ASW equipment, reclassifying them as frigates.
One was rebuilt as a pontone bridge, and the two others were sold for scrap after their decommissioning.
*Not entirely fictional. Several IRL RSwN NW's during WW2 planned for 57mm guns in twin turrets. This gun is the basis for my gun.


And now for the patrool boat.
The Väktaren class patroll boat, entering service in 1976-79 was the first smaller vessel to be eqipped with SSM in the ErRN, and was considered a huge succes. Ten years after the first missile in service in the ErRN(The RB08, 1967) was put on an almost cruiser-sized craft, a torpedo boat-sized ship could carry one.
The Väktaren class was a multipurpose design, and could have her Pingvin SSMs removed in favor to DCs or similar eqipment. The class would be outclassed by the newer designs in the 80's, in terms of surface combat, but would still remain in service unto the years between 1998 and 2003, when the entire class of eighteen ships was either mothballed or decommissioned.
