𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗣𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

This creation features working hangar elevators, one near the bow, and one at the aft, it is capable of launching four operational planes.

This ship was made on mobile, but it was tested by users on PC so the mechanisms should work well no matter what device you're on, although there are some slight issues for mobile players which will be mentioned in Caution.

𝗙𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗨𝗔𝗟

AG-1: Activate Bow Hangar Elevator

1. Initiates deployment of the bow elevator and launches the first Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero.

2. The aircraft will automatically detach from the elevator after approximately 5 seconds.

Note: Once the first Zero has taken off, deactivate AG-1 to lower the elevator and prepare for the next aircraft.

AG-2: Reload Bow Hangar Elevator

1. Ensure the bow elevator is lowered and the first Zero has successfully departed before proceeding.

2. Activating AG-2 will position the second Zero on the lowered elevator.

3. Afterward, reactivate AG-1 to raise the elevator when the aircraft is detatched to the elevator.

4. Use VTOL control to throttle the second Zero for takeoff.

AG-3: Activate Aft Hangar Elevator

1. Deploys the aft elevator and launches the Nakajima B5N2 Kate.

2. The aircraft will automatically detach after approximately 10 seconds.

Note: Once the Kate has departed, deactivate AG-3 to lower the elevator in preparation for the next aircraft.

AG-4: Reload Aft Hangar Elevator

1. Confirm the aft elevator is lowered and the Kate has taken off before activating.

2. Engaging AG-4 positions the second aircraft (Mitsubishi A5Mr Claude) on the lowered elevator.

3. When the plane is detatched, Reactivate AG-3 to raise the elevator and bring the aircraft to the flight deck.

4. Use VTOL control to throttle the second aircraft for launch.

𝗖𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

• This was made without part-efficiency in mind

• I highly suggest to deactivate AG-8 before carrying out flight deck take-offs

• Plane sliding off the elevator when the ship is on the move

• Low Physics glitches such as plane wheels bouncing on the flight deck

• Unlike PC players, mobile players won't be able to shoot the guns on the plane

• Unrealistic rotation of AA Guns
