Need help with a ship
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2778190741

Hi! I am now trying to assemble a 1st fleet to actually try a campain. This one was supposed to be a cheap fast combat ship to use as fast responce craft capable of damaging or destroying much larger ships.
First I have failed to make a usable propeller driven ship with hydrofoils and a max reduced drag. Unstable, props out of water all the time. Added the CJE that kick in after this ship rises a bit.
Turret was supposed to use unguided missiles, but AI really fails to shoot them It can't compensate for the ships speed and missile needing time to accelerate. So I have gone with beam riders HEAT.
SW nose turret is there for light AA duty mostly. A small fighter craft should be providing cover in fast responce force.

All in all the ship became not so cheap, its quite squishy, hydrofoils get destroyed by splash easily (HOW?), profile is large and only speed saves it from large weapons.
Can the design be saved or should I scrap it alltogether?

If you still need the help to an agile small ship that packs a punch, I would say you gonna waste lots of mass on engine and missiles. High velocity small caliber cannons are great at anti-air if the AI did a great job using it. But small ships are sworn to be fragile.

I dont know what you mean by cheap, but I would say less than 100k is average for a small hard/godly ship.

You can take a reference at my new fast attack craft:

If you are going lower than 50k for an combat effective and relevant craft, I would sugguest using jets and bombers, as ships at this price won't be relevant to any larger battle other than tiny conflicts.

Nitpick, you can make decent submarines for that cost, with a lot of the defence being ensured by their submerged status, but beyond this, I agree, the only relevant 50k vehicle I use outside subs is a tactical bomber.
