' Wrote:The Chameleon is not the weakest HF by any means. There are several models that are weaker, some of which are even larger. This pretty much sounds like a qq thread to me. *shrug* I'm not the best with HF's but they are far from useless. HF's make excellent escorts for just about any type of convoy.
Hullo, never said it's the weakest one. Chameleon is almost perfect to my taste.

we got a COMPLAINT about the green rheinland engine clipping in cruise mode with the model. - so we tried to replace it with a smaller one.
reason for the chamaelion to fly 400ms was due to using the smallest green engine ( LF engine ) - which turned out still to be too large ( clipping complaint )
while i agree that the 400ms added a nice uniqueness without unbalance - it would have been UNFAIR against other HF - which do not fly 400.
but first and formost - it was done due to a complaint cause the cruise glow clipped with the model.
Thanks, Jinx. Nontheless I guess that due to the placement of the engine on the model it would be exactly the same issue - but speaking of the looks, the bretonian engine is not much fitting the Chameleon, and I guess that's why it wasn't put there in the first place.
It's less about the cruise speed, more about giving the ship the original look. Clipping engine is not a bug, it's a feature.
In the meanwhile, I noticed that I seem to have a bretonian engine on one Chameleon and the rheinland one on the other one.
