Type-1 Armoured Gunboat

7,867 PickyPlanes  4.6 years ago

The Type-1 Armoured gunboat is a fairly small boat designed for coastal and riverine patrol. It is armed with two 80mm naval guns, mounted in two turrets at the fore and aft of the boat. It is also capable of defending itself from air attacks with its 2x 20mm gun turret. The small size of the boat makes it a difficult target to hit, while its armour ensures it can take a hit if it has to.

AG1 - Activate Turret 1
AG-2 Activate Turret 2
AG3 - Activate AA turret
Throttle - Throttle
Yaw - Steering
VTOL - Turret Azimuth
Trim - Gun elevation/depression
Pitch/Roll - AA turret control

The AA turret has a camera for aiming and is actually very capable of shooting down attacking aircraft if mouse as joystick is used.
Have fun with this relatively simple build and feel free to share some suggestions, as I am currently unsure what i should build next, but am really starting to enjoy building ships and boats.

    https://www.simpleplanes.com/Mods/View/767005/Advanced-Targeting This mod helps to aim the guns, as it shows where the shell will hit. The rest of the controls are in the vehicle description. @cblxxwxn

    The chaff still works? I thought I disabled it. Oh well, I guess if it works as a smokescreen it isn’t a total oof. @PointBlank2000

    If you activate all the chaf launchers it creates a sorta realistic smokescreen it looks pretty cool

    @Jim1the1Squid Yeah. I was going for a kind of whacky look for this. And it was built in a day anyway. Definitely not my best.

    Those turrets look hilariously and unrealistically huge.
