Ferrão
Yeah so. The only thing missing here is the fact that I was getting a site error trying to put a policy on the MIO, but we actually have 56 agility here before our army chiefs of staff and aces buffing planes further. This is just the improved airframe, we can go even harder. (I'm splurging on expensive parts here as naval fighters count as a lot more planes in a naval battle than shore launched fighters, therefor, being a bit expensive here for the meme of utterly slaughtering enemy craft makes me feel just a bit happy.) Because I had enough spare weight for rockets, I added rockets because that gives this an odd secondary role of just being able to logi-strike enemy ground forces if they stop putting up air defenses. _____ There are two great options for the MIO here, SAAB, which just gives you the best overall stats (60 agility despite how heavy this is,) and NAA, which gives you insane range. Skip NAA for newport news, NAA is really good, but its not so good you want cripple your escort carriers. Sadly, I couldn't simulate this all the way out: Funnily enough, the MIO policy for 5% agility refused to apply no matter what.
Pequeno Getúlio
Fun fact, because Brazil gets a second raiding shipbuilder, we get to have one customized for just the submarines, and can have one with the fabled space efficient designs for far more aircraft capacity. So while the deck size is quite small, as it is a sub, don't you worry, we are packing Getúlio to the brim here.
Abelha Melífera
A last ship of my brazil spam taskforce setup. We obviously need a stupidly fast, nearly invisible destroyer to top the fleet off and make it invincible to getting screen wiped. Because of the soviet raiding shipbuilder, we actually get this immense discount on these.
Dona Maria Glória ("Fast" Battle Escort Carrier.)
Ok so hear me out the end of this silly little doctrine of torpedo cruisers was always trying to be these silly escort carriers so they can use the screening bonus accuracy to hit enemy destroyers with extremely high accuracy, and better sweep the enemy destroyer line since yes, screening bonus gives this stupid accuracy bonus to your weapons. Its stupid, AFAIK the biggest weakness of escort carriers is you can't even raid convoys with their guns, but I want it nonetheless. You'd need the speed milestone in the special project for this to not slow down your cruiser fleets, but the nice thing is, you can get that speed milestone for the speed needed for this to act as a fleet support ship. (If you don't care about your strike forces only being 32 ish kph, you can just go with the extra deck size option IIRC I think there is one.) The other ships are named after bees and wasps and stuff, so obviously the carriers we want are named after a Empress for a queen pun. (I'm sorry for your sacrifice great emperor, you had to carry the bees with you for so long... (This is a joke that our interim converted cruiser was named after Dona Maria's husband. Don't think too hard, your brain will go places you don't want it to go.))
Dom Pedro
An "early" escort carrier for the earlier torpedo cruiser, to match its speed until we can get our real dream support ships later. Its here specifically just so we have something around to grind MIO points in our carrier MIO before we finish our special project.
Vespa Um
Bonuses not portrayed: Selective engagement and the commander/navy staff giving you visibility and speed bonuses, 15% more torpedo attack and torpedo accuracy from the progress milestones in the special project. ___________ you might think with all of the stuff I know, I don't actually know if the heavy cruisers bonuses apply to a heavy torpedo cruiser, but the heavy guns still give plenty of HP so I'm going with it, especially given the hard attacks are still devastating even if they are limited in numbers. If you can get the screening bonus to accuracy effect, obviously you want this to be heavy so you can pair this with light task forces, have a strong destroyer, and have these vespa on the backline wiping the entire enemy fleet with their apocalypse tubes. Just think, over 200 torpedo attack will be possible on refit. (If this still does get heaviness bonuses however, AA cruisers would make this super tanky against air strikes, and give it 15% more speed. You lose torpedo attack, gain some LG attack... Makes me desperately wish the vanilla torpedo cruisers had a secondary gun slot they could mount for another DP gun.) ___________ When Brasil gets the ability to import naval designers, they really get the best of the best. This design is possible as the soviets I'm 99% sure since this is their borrowed MIO. Still I'd call it a soviet borrowing of Brasilian Improvisar through trade. This is not a ship of smekalka, even if it feels like it. ___________ Its still a little strange how on the stat card here it shows a max speed of 32.1 instead of the 36 I got in the designer.
