At this point, its more like an oversized battlecruiser.

Activation group 1 and roll+pitch to control main guns
Activation group 2,3 and roll+pitch to control port/starboard guns.
VTOL slider controls the propeller pitch. Up=forward down=reverse. 1/2 up/down for best effect.
Trim slider to control rudder.

    @Fjorge Its basically the closest thing I have got to an Iowa class battleship in terms of size and main guns. but its armour is basically non-existent. While it would normally be a battlecruiser, I just copied the HMS Courageous and called it a light cruiser instead.

    Um I don't thing this should ever be classified as a light cruiser, or even a cruiser in the first place.
