Arsenal ships are a fully retarded idea. An arsenal squadron would make 10,000x more sense.
Why let the changs take out 400 VLS cells all at once with a single lucky hit. Much better to have 20 small ships each with 20 VLS and a RAM launcher. That way they have to get lucky 20 times in a row to kill the same amount of firepower.
AND they have to hit smaller more maneuverable targets.
AND it's cheaper to build twenty 2000 ton ships than one 20,000 ton ship.
It's literally a no brainer.
Or fuck. Just take the retarded LCS ships. Make em drones. Stack the flight deck with Typhon launchers and use those as your magazine depth.
Big huge wasteful designs are how you lose wars.
