Today it’s the turn of the Kaiser’s aerial navy to get an upgrade. All of our German Aeronef<\/a> destroyers, frigates and patrol craft are being replaced, and we’ve taken the opportunity to sneak in a new model as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Seydlitz winged Dig Gunboat has been beefed up with a larger fuselage, while the larger Brandenburg dig destroyer comes in two variants with different gondolas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The new model is the Frauenlob class AA destroyer, equipped with three triple AA turrets amidships – seen below next to the new Karlsruhe destroyer leader model.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The VA-7 and SA-15 have been reclassified as frigates, and the DA-19 torpedo frigate also gets an upgrade.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the bottom end of the size scale, the TA-127 torpedo Nef and BA-97 patrol Nef now come in strips of three models (at the same price per model).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are three flotilla packs available – escort, dig escort and torpedo – all containing the new models.<\/p>\n

VANFP-311<\/a> – German Escort Flotilla – \u00a39.00
\nVANFP-312<\/a> – German Torpedo Squadron – \u00a34.50
\nVANFP-313<\/a> – German Dig Escort Flotilla – \u00a310.00
\nVAN-302<\/a> – Seydlitz class Dig Gunboat – \u00a31.25
\nVAN-304<\/a> – VA-7 class Frigate – \u00a31.00
\nVAN-305<\/a> – SA-15 class Frigate – \u00a31.00
\nVAN-308<\/a> – TA-127 class Torpedo Nef (x3) – \u00a31.50
\nVAN-309<\/a> – Brandenburg class Dig Destroyer – \u00a32.75
\nVAN-311<\/a> – Karlsruhe class Destroyer – \u00a32.00
\nVAN-313<\/a> – BA-97 Patrol Nef (x3) – \u00a31.50
\nVAN-315<\/a> – DA-19 class Torpedo Frigate – \u00a31.00
\nVAN-327<\/a> – Frauenlob class AA Destroyer – \u00a32.25<\/p>\n
