I never understood their design philosophy for using a "balanced/Fixed Structure Rudder" as opposed to the US use of Semi Balanced Spade rudder design.
Granted they must track straight w/o much rudder input (like a full skeg rudder blue water sailboat), but that's an assumption as I never been at one's helm, though I did on a US Boomer lol.
My 1:96 LAFAYETTE Class turns pretty tight, even on the surface. People have even remarked so when seeing my boat run..
In an underwater knife fight with oncoming Torpedoes, I'll take a 35kt, highly maneuverable boat any time. Playing "Cold Waters" taught me out turning fast torpedoes is....life.
Just a thought, but the BOREI is a fine looking boat. Great looking kit!
I understand the Project 955A (BOREI-II) has a more "Western" approach.
REALLY digging this build!!
