If you are looking for <105m naval vessels with Frigate-level Armament, I think you might want to check out the HDP-1500 neo (Korea), Ada-class (Turkiye), Avante 2200 (Spain), and Steregushchiy (Russia). The latest corvettes all look to have the equivalent armament of earlier generations of frigates. And before anyone dismisses the Frankencovette and smaller options, consider the firepower Angola gave their BR71 MkII...
Thanks Noah….appreciate your work.

Unfortunately. Someone wrote up the RFI for the IFM with specifically with the wheeled RCH 155 in mind. Stacking the deck if you ask me.
I am sick of our wheeled only fetish, that is going to come back to bite us in the long run.
Then you will be happy to know that KNDS has come out with a tracked version of their wheeled RCH 155 Sp gun/ More info here:

Thanks saw that already, but i fear that requirement to "Maintain 80kmph" is going to force us to wheeled.
