A cruiser after I searched light cruiser in the simpleplanes.com seach box and tried 3. two of which were not very good and the 3rd seemed to be pretty good but at over 2000 parts it didn't run very smoothly so I decided to make my own cruiser! Forwards is throttle, steering is yaw, aiming guns up is VTOL and turning turrets is trim. enjoy!

@Mousewithamachinegun122 I know you said forum, but I only got snippets of time rn so I'm making pitch notes to combine later.
WWII makeshift light cruiser (despite name - long story) which began building immediately after Canada, then Graingy's home country, declared war on the Axis on the 10th of September 1939.
It's hardly an impressive vessel, but it has guns an a powerplant.
We built a couple of them and a few are in museums. We could probably get one running for the MGLA, though I'd excercise caution in deployment since all they have is 4 guns/rocket launcher racks (we're efficient like that) and a gatling-style MG.
Here's a gun ga- I mean gun fact for you: During WWII Graingy was the only prominent builder of rotary guns.
@32 The bridge can't even see over the turrets
@Graingy I haven't downloaded it, but it does look pretty nice.
@32 I was impressed by the hull once, but so much of it has aged horribly.
@32 it's absolutely horrible
This is actually really good lol
I was impressed by this thing once
