Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Barracuda Patrol Boat

"Barracuda patrol here!"

-Barracuda

The Barracuda are Grey Steel Order's patrol boats. Voiced by *TBA*.

Tactical analysis

 * The Mosquito Boats: Barracudas are swift, inexpensive craft (calling them warships would be an overstatement) armed with dual 20mm autocannons for harassment of light enemy vessels, swimming infantry, and other targets of opportunity.


 * Beware the Sting: Barracudas also have a single anti-ship missile launcher for engagement of larger targets. Without the sophisticated fire-control system meant to go with the launcher the missile is simply fired straight ahead and will explode when it hits anything in its path. The launcher must be slowly reloaded between shots, but allows the Barracuda to do real damage against anything short of a battleship.


 * Thin Skinned: With a fiberglass hull and no ship-grade armour to speak of, Barracudas are resistant to small-arms fire but cannot withstand any serious firepower.


 * Hiding in Plain Sight: When not moving or attacking, the Barracuda's autocannon turret can be folded down, the missile launcher disguised as a tank for live fish, and the flag of some suitably neutral, harmless nation raised. Enemy forces will ignore the harmless-looking, apparently civilian speedboat stuck in the war zone, but beware. Paranoid enemy commanders unafraid of potentially murdering a civilian crew may still order their forces to open fire.
