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

no controls, Airspawn only, Ai-only
