What would be the min craft size and would the fighter machine gun be a new gun type, a singular fighter gun or the fighter auto cannon? besides that new plane with more range sounds cool.

This would help dreads function as a command vessel.

Unlike IRL dreads are useless as flagships because they are so limited. Unless you are spamming craftlist or map is working 100% and you have a second moniter then you are kinda at a disadvantage compared to a Cruiser/Dest.

This wouldnt be as good as radar HOWEVER, its an easy addition given it works off what Aircraft Carriers already do and would atleast allow dread pilots to have a look at the enemy before hand.

Pigylord a minimum size of around 150-200 works, also... the fighter machine gun is the same as the "fighter gun."

would be super cool but in regions, how many points would they drop when sinking

Probably very few, like 200-300.

if it's a spotter it should be unable to be armed
