USS New York (BB-34)

3,419 stevemc01  3.4 years ago

This may as well be the last/forever will not be the last model of USS New York I’ll ever build. I took some of you guys’s advice and shortened the relative size of the guns. A basic armor scheme was applied to her and now she can stand up to basic gunfire reasonably well. Instructions and developer’s notes in the comments.

There's a little Easter Egg in the build... can you guys find it?

    DEVELOPER’S NOTES

    This was the most realistic model of USS New York I’ve ever made so far. The command tower, the armor, the catapult (only for decor, but if anyone wants to add a scouting biplane and cranes, you’re welcome to do so), almost everything. The hull and AA guns are the exceptions, but at least I’m improving in this field.

    Thank you all and enjoy your Decembers.

    EDIT
    I forgot to mention I added a barrel that reloaded on average the same rate as the real thing, so sorry for the 34sec long reload on one barrel.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    MAIN GUNS

    AG 1 activates all guns, which rely on AP ammunition (basic slug shells that were modified to do serious damage).
    VTOL rotates the turrets.
    Pitch changes gun elevation.

    SECONDARY GUNS

    AG 2 activates HE-loaded secondaries (can’t elevate, but they do rotate).
    Roll rotates the guns.

    AA GUNS

    AG 3 activates the two machine guns to either side.
    VTOL and Trim to aim and fire.

    AG 4 for the rear quadruple mount AA piece.
    Also VTOL and Trim to control.

    Looks really good, one thing I will say, is that it is a bit long

    @PapaKernels Thanks. For something built to be mobile-friendly, this is quite a feat in my opinion...
