HMS Redmont (K-15) WWII Escort Corvette
HMS Redmont (K-15) is the lead ship of the fictional Fief-class corvettes, inspired by the real Isles and Flower-class corvettes of the Royal Navy. Designed to be built quickly in conventional shipyards and used to escort convoys, the Fief-class has 3 features which set them apart: a sophisticated and accurate fire-control system, an automated and effective damage-control system, and a high-pressure supercharged steam engine. This boiler, engine, and screw setup is both (very) fuel efficient and (VERY) fast for such a small vessel, enabling this little ship to keep up with larger fleets or chase down submarines. They have proven to be surprisingly durable and lethal in combat, in addition to being useful for troop transport or SAR missions!

Remember to press like if you enjoy the ship, it means a lot!

The ship comes with a radar, optical, or GPS-guided fire-control system which independently aims each turret to the target, controlled from one seat in the Combat Information Center. This system is accurate up to 4 KM out, and can hit targets on land, air, or sea. Unfortunately, due to SW radar mechanics, the anchors and boats sometimes interfere with the targeting, so if you’re expecting a fight against another ship I’d recommend deleting them or throwing them overboard if you have time.
The controls are listed in the fire-control seat, and are easy to figure out. To use the guns, switch on the fire control system and don’t forget to switch on all autoloaders and gun mounts (buttons on the left side).
Each turret can also be used manually with their local controls!
Damage Control
The ship will automatically try to seal damaged compartments by pressurizing them and pumping out the water, and will automatically put out fires anywhere near the batteries. Alarms will sound briefly anytime new flooding, fire, or other damage is detected, and if the damage can’t be contained automatically the alarms will start sounding constantly to let you know you need to start repairing. You can mute them in the damage control room if you want!
The damage control room includes controls and displays to show where the damage is, and repair tools are located around the ship.
