AG1: start engine (Trim to lift off and control elevation) AG2: VTOL (forwad flight speed assist) roll controls roll and yaw controls yaw.
AG:4 and AG:5 fires Harpoon ASM. (when using Harpoons let missile lock on, hit launch, and then hit AG:4 to drop locked missile. Then let next missile lock, hit launch then AG:5 to drop 2nd locked missile.)

*In active service*

*Note I did NOT make the Harpoons. I got them months ago and can't remember where. I think it may be OP "Andylin". But credit goes to who did they are awesome. Also OP "PINK" made original rotor which I co-axialed and slightly modified.*

AG6: fire AA missiles.

Helo will spin on its axis at low speeds by using yaw. At cruise or max speed to turn I use roll or roll and yaw. To align sight for unguided munitions I align helo then use cockpit view and then raise or lower trim to bring sight onto target.

The HN-53K Shark is an all weather day/night attack/ helicopter designed for the Japanese Navy and Marine corps. The K model receives special anti-corrosion treatments on all systems. A new fire control radar capable of operating in "sea mode" and of supporting anti-ship missiles.
