'Diptych'-class escort cruiser / Martini Ввщ-14

Culprit: Red Alert 2 - 200 Meters

 

Fleet escort ekranomere destroyer (mis-designated by international classification systems as a cruiser, later corrected). While no hull number is visible in this example, it is typical of the class, most of which were harboured at Ballovyarny in converted submarine docks "sold off" to SPATTER★VF by HYDRATE as part of the obfuscation around Belera's early rocket programs.

 

The confusion stems primarily from analysis of early spy photography, which showed nearby GG-C-2 'Gormless' anti-shipping missiles being loaded onto a VVsch-14's cargo ramp—it later transpired that this photograph was staged, the missiles instead meant for a 'Virago'-class cruiser moored in another dock.

 

 

3/5ths of a "navy" and the game isn't even on yet, definitely doing better than the last two (I say, as the navy plan balloons from 3 "ships" to 5 >_<). Multi-view... probably tomorrow, just have to do the ortho renders.
