DECK F HMAS Quickmatch/Quiberon *DONE*

Not that its a bad idea for the unit;

   Getting back to the SA's yes Raider and Raider Hunter are different but their are some similarities 

One Aussie DD may have Sub Hunter but one has DD hunter; whats Raider have in it DD Hunter.

Again if that the way you want to go OK; But Australia starting to get that almost stand alone Build nice to see something different to help with that.

The Q Class was the first RN's Standard Design DD; it flowed for future growth.

     I like my 2 proposals; 

   Establish Screen: is something lacking in the Commonwealth fleet; 
    
    Desperate AA: always sounds right against Kamikaze attacks.

 They had great range at 20knts; were used to escort the RN back into the Pacific and the design allowed extra AA

without to much worry about top weight.

sounds Establish Screen and Desperate AA for Quiberon sounds like a good addition for the Commonwealth fleets

Ok, how about this one then:

First, I think Quiberon had a more interesting overall career than Quickmatch.

But Quiberon put the final shot into Lupo. What if we gave Quiberon Finish Him Off -
This unit rolls one extra attack die when attacking damaged Ships.

That is a big sexy SA for a DD and totally new on a Surface ship (I think.)

If in need of more, she could also have Rescue Operations.

unless I'm mistaken the Pacific career of either unit can be pretty much summed up as escort. Desperate AA is one thing, but it's also a OPG SA on a fairly standard DD platform. I get the pushback against Subhunter (it's been done...but it IS useful for DD's to have).

Establish Screen is a nice SA, but I will reveal it has been added to another Commonwealth DD for this deck already, and the justification for it comes back to the escort thing. It could get Carrier Screen instead of Desperate AA giving it a shot at a permanent boost to AA, but then you are putting a DD in with a carrier...which isn't always a good thing.

On the plus side, Commonwealth DD's typically have good performance for their cost. They don't really have any obvious weaknesses, but that can lead to a general sameness about a lot of them, which is a symptom too of this being the TWELFTH deck!

good question. Probably 7.

Javelin has Smoke/Subhunter for basically the same platform stats. At 7 Arunta has CE and Subhunter, but also has the 1/1/1 TT line of the Tribals but they are all nicely costed relative to other DD's. But Q-class is probably too robust for a 6 cost...particularly with no overt weaknesses. Saugunay at 6 has both the 1/1/1 TT and the lower VA (plus guns and AA). So definitely higher than her.

Inazuma is vanilla at 7 with the sweet TT line (and probably undercost by 1), but this is better at the ASW role (and still has solid TT and other stats).

I think a straight up Vanilla Q-class comes in at 7.
