M-Class light cruiser - München *Done*

Wouldn't Scout Cruiser produces the same aurora Escort Killer is to those in that camp;

   It compares poorly to those that have the SA material wise; including Bolzano who's scout plane actually spotted the British Fleet;

Wiki wrote;; The M Class was intended for use as a Scout for the Commerce raiding squadrons ENVISIONED under the Z Plan;

   They were to be Scout Cruisers; why the design; why the Armament ;; why the Armor ; why the Speed;; as chosen for compromise.

The SA's suggested are to local; not enough planes to be a true [Scout Cruiser], Pinpointer and Shadow help only the Sub Fleet or the Luftwaffer;

     Not enough guns to be an Escort Killer;

She needs a new and imaginative SA for what she was intended; an archetype for the Fleet not a piece of the fleet!!

Those that don’t want Scout Cruiser on everything.

Rapid Fire?

I think that would be okay, but pretty weak.

I don't know how you can call give this Scout Cruiser when with your own thoughts you said it can have Escort Killer because;;

  "Escort killer would be an excellent SA for a cruiser of the calibre of a brooklyn, crown colony, la gallisonare or later condiettori's.

This cruiser is not that"!!!      Well its not a Tone, Gotland or or your Operational Mogami and Bolzano for sure.

   This unit certainly needs a new SA or a variation of an existing one, and it should be a fleet support SA to keep it off the Dust pile.

 Its support SA should not benefit just parts of the KM fleet but the whole and I think KM players would welcome something they don't already have.

  Unless you want to build a new KOD based on the M class?

  I don't see why this SA can't OPG benefit both Surface and Sub Attacks

  

  

So I think what flak is looking for is something like this. Basically Scout Cruiser for submarines.

U-boat Scout - (Once per game,?) At the beginning of your Air Attack step, you may choose an enemy Ship. Submarines roll one extra attack die when making Torpedo attacks against that ship this turn.

Scout Cruiser - At the beginning of your Air Attack step, you may choose an enemy Ship. Your units roll one extra attack die when making Bomb or Gunnery attacks against that Ship this turn. (Tone, Gotland)

or

U-Boat Scout - (Once per game,?) at the beginning of your Air Attack Step, you may choose an enemy Ship. Submarines roll one extra attack die when making Torpedo attacks against that ship this turn.

Pinpointer - At the beginning of your Air Attack step, you may choose an enemy Ship within range 2. Submarines roll one extra attack die when making Torpedo attacks against that Ship this turn.

Personally, I am not that keen to give an easy torpedo boost to U-boats, many of which are already very powerful with the Wolfpack SA.

Allowing a sub to move one space closer to an enemy ship would be better IMO.

Alert Submarine - (Once per game,?) At the beginning of the Air Return phase, you may choose a friendly Submarine. That Submarine may immediately move one sector towards the nearest enemy Ship.

Vector Submarine - At the beginning of the Air Return phase, if this unit was not aborted, you may choose a friendly Submarine within 2 sectors of this unit. That Submarine may immediately move one sector towards the nearest enemy Ship. (BV138)
