Sort of, easy to be obliterated by small ships very fast good for reconnaisance strong against big vessels.

I like the idea, maybe also has a cheap and fast way to protect ships from planes too.

Erm are there any specific models you have in mind, because you do seem to be describing motor torpedo boats, which a PT (patrol torpedo) boat is exactly.

Well... I'm thinking of the MO-class soviet guard ship (and the 5 models)
The American Huckins, Higgins and Elco.
The german E-boat, S-boat.
The japanese ITO No.1 class.
Well you get the thing,

The Royal Navy had the MTB's in service and for
Germany we could use the S 100 serie?

And Italians will use the MAS series before anyone asks.
No idea what the French will have.

how should they be treated then? like the big ships that they can go everywhere? they didn't have such a great range. and certainly more intended for coastal defense.

we have "water" and "deep water" as designable tiles.
maybe we have "shallows" to?
whatever we can restric them using these - dthe only thing someone whould check the maps if all is properly set to these waters.
