This monstrosity is the definition of scope creep. At first, I wanted a small cruiser that could fire a pile of missiles.Then, I found a bunch of torpedo tubes in my subassemblies and wanted to use them.
Then, I got lazy and used a spare superstructure that was too big for the original hull so I got a bigger hull.
Then, it needed secondaries and a deck for helicopters.

Or maybe someone stuck a few extra zeroes to the Stasi budget, which explains why its named "Erich Mielke"

Instructions:
Trim slider to control rudder.
VTOL slider controls the propeller pitch. Up=reverse down=forward. 1/3 up/down for best effect.

Activation group 1 for cruise missile spam
Activation group 7 for even more cruise missile spam
Activation group 3,2 and roll+pitch to control port/starboard guns.
Fire guns to well..

Activation group 4,5 to fire torpedoes.


You'll only need the 24 cruise missiles and some luck to destroy the entire fleet in a single strike on the Beast.
