wassupf dawg?
okay, maybe that's a bit awkward, but in my defence, the fighter aircraft type of this airship is nicknamed "Doug", which reminds me of the other simple aircrafts(was it called AI-ASAP?) like the Geoff(which was iirc based on a heinkel.. or was it arado? it's one of the competitor of the BF109 in it's trials) or Will(GOD this thing is like a flying truck, and it handles like one too, I mean it is a Lancer(or torpedo bomber, I just thought it's neat cause y'know, large heavy anti-airship rocket thus y'know, "lancer") carrying what's essentially 10-20% it's weight in ordnance with the engines outta junkyard with the output just what about you expected from such an innefficient engine), there was also.. was it Kasen? yeah, the one based on the Ki-43, and Sakura, which even though it was a rocket-powered "fighter", still has the tendency of just crashing like a missile, probably cause it's based on the Ohka.
anyway, I deleted the superstructure(which was a submarine conning tower before, dunno why, but me from back then probably thought it was cool/funny), added appropriate enclosed AA guns, enclosed the heavy-caliber gun and added a local rangefinder to it, added a mast and a main rangefinder, slightly changed and relocated the rear stabilizer, added a front stabilizer(which yes, it's a biplane setup. no, it's not unrealistic, the fxckn HMS X1 did it, and it looks funny as hell), added several observation.. gondolas? glass canopies? well, that, for observation and air operation + reconnaissance.
anyway yeah, I think that's all? hmh. chii-se! :3

@Monarchii
Yea :(
I'm guessing BC when It detached from the airship, iit lost a lot of parts, and the game though if that as taking critical damage
@SPWithLizzie no cheating ;3
@Monarchii
Very annoying to deal with >:(
@SPWithLizzie yeeep, a threatening happenstance XD
@Monarchii
The plane also doesn't show up on radar so I can't blast it with a missile and get it over with
@Monarchii
Yeah, the gears act as teeny little legs for this to take off from runways
Hilarious sight ngl
@Monarchii ....
@PhantomBoltSP what's that
@SPWithLizzie h.. huh???
@SPWithLizzie oh yah, it engages you :3
@Crimsonknight yeah, the bulky tower with no purpose bugs me, though tbf it was basically designed as a submarine thingy XD
Ohh lemme guess, from Roblox Airship Assault?
Also btw
This thing can take off from land BC of the teeny tiny landing gears of the plane
Wait iit has a PLANE?
Ayyy the Hoshiiya is back also I noticed you changed the top part of the Airship
Looks cool, especially with the lil' plane :D
Also, less than 2k from 100k!
also, fair point, I just thought it looked neat, homing beacon and all, but now that I think of it it probably wouldn't need to be that tall
@ThomasRoderick that's a fair point, but it's more.. designed as a refueling station for aircrafts, so it carries supplies, it just also happens to be a "light" combatant
Calling it a "tender" would be a bit of a stretch, I'd say it's closer to a "scout destroyer" with about 3 recon planes in total.
Also, looooooooooooooooong mast.... on a platform that absolutely does NOT require masts to be any taller than the bare minimum, that is!
@TheHaggisBasher ey ey ey! aircraft dock :3
