BATTERY SILENCER: This unit rolls one extra attack die when making Gunnery attacks against Shore Batteries and Installations.

SCOUTPLANE ATTACK: During the first turn of the game, you may declare you're using Scoutplane Attack. If you do, assign the scoutplane attack during the Air Mission phase. The scoutplane can be attacked during the Air Defense phase. It has; Armor 3, Vital Armor 5, a Bomb attack of 2, and it can be aborted or destroyed normally.

Yes. Yes, I suppose it does.

I'm thinking 13. Both Perth and Lamotte Piquet are 12 but this is the best of both, I feel

12. Lpq isnt really worth 12.

I think it is closer to 12 than 13. LP is a different navy for one thing. LP has a better torp line and Flag 1. It lacks secondaries and is AA 5.

Battery Silencer is all but useless. I think they are a wash.

Whether a player chooses Ajax, Perth or Hobart is going to depend on the SAs they want IMO. Ajax is good against the German "Disguise" raiders. Perth has a little more punch against cruisers and has a chance of evading a bomb attack once per game so it is the "brawler" of the group. Hobart will be best used for an air build to help with air placement.

I still come up closer to 12 than 13.
