Original build here
- The Defensive warships series hopes to make killing AI warship targets with aircraft 10x harder. (and fun) All ships have a semi-realistic AA complement, with guns that all have semi-realistic ranges, muzzle velocities, firing arcs, and etc.
- (wiki)
Furutaka was the lead ship in the two-vessel Furutaka-class of heavy cruisers in the Imperial Japanese Navy. The ship was named after Mount Furutaka, located on Etajima, Hiroshima immediately behind the Imperial Japanese Navy Academy. She was commissioned in 1926 and was sunk 12 October 1942 by USS Salt Lake City and USS Buchanan at the Battle of Cape Esperance.
Functional armament
(Spawn as AI in aggressive mode, guns will activate and deactivate depending on if they are in arc/range)
- 4x Type 10 120 mm AA gun (single)
Max range: 16000m
Min range: 1000m
muzzle velocity: 825m/s
- 4x Type 96 25mm AT/AA gun (twin)
Max range: 6800m
Min range: 0m
muzzle velocity: 820m/s
- 2x Hotchkiss 13.2 mm machine gun
(Literally just made it a smaller-barreled Type 96 lmao)
Max range: 4200m
Min range: 0m
muzzle velocity: 800m/s
Notes
- This has a smaller AA complement than others, but placing the cockpit right next to the mid-section guns has made the 120s in specific extremely accurate, so be careful!
- Yeah that’s pretty much it
Enjoy getting obliterated!

@llDeadboyll I’m not exactly sure, but I would recommend removing all mass and drag from parts of the AA that don’t already have them removed. If that doesn’t work, then increase the mass of the ship in addition and hopefully it’ll help. (As a last resort you can link me to the build so I can see what I can do)
@TemporaryReplacement No biggie. i'm gonna download all anyway. also, everytime i put those guns and aa on a different ship, the ship ends up swaying from side to side. how can i fix that?
@llDeadboyll thanks :)
larger warships are already planned (USS Essex was one of my first prototypes for example) only issue is that I have a set order of things I need to post, so it’ll be a while before they start getting published.
pls consider making big warships like ijn yamato too. awesome build, just like always!!
@TemporaryReplacement lol Steamboat Willie about to get some surface-to-air kills
@TheUltimatePlaneLover time to add this to the list… lol
@TemporaryReplacement Honestly I kind of wanna see that, if a good Steamboat WIllie exists then why not make LHI/Defensive Warship version lol
*and since it is Mickey Mouse, I see a perfect opportunity to make a Mousewithamachinegun reference while we're at it lol
@TheUltimatePlaneLover goofy ahh tornado wielding mouse, destroyer of SP builds
@TemporaryReplacement What if you made a defensive tornado where it just spins whilst firing rapidly and has like a 1% chance of hitting you
And then put 60 of those on a boat
WHAT IF YOU MADE DEFENSIVE STEAMBOAT WILLIE?!?!??!
@TheUltimatePlaneLover 0.05% chance spin if own gun accidentally hit bote
@TemporaryReplacement But can it spin??
@TheUltimatePlaneLover big long scare
Beeg long ship
It's scary
@TemporaryReplacement. Alright, I'd add you. Cheers.
@ShiroNeko yep, my user is Tempoary_Replacement
Really interesting projects you've been working on recently. If you don't mind me asking, do you have a Discord account?
