Landing Craft Utility Mk10

52.5k Tang0five  3.7 years ago

A simple offering for all your ship to shore needs - the Landing Craft Utility Mk10. I’ve actually been fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to have been bobbed around in one of these on a few occasions.

The LCU Mk 10 allows for greater ship to shore capacity than can be fulfilled by the LCVP (Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel) type craft and is widely used during amphibious operations by 3 Commando Brigade.

I’ve built this LCU close to RL dimensions albeit on iPad I lost track of the length so it’s actually 9ft longer and 1ft wider (shoot me now!). This tub in RL is only capable of 10 knots but this build will do more than that to make things a little less boring.

Controls

-AG1 enables/disables engines
-Throttle for engine power
-pitch and roll to control movement
-AG2 raises and lowers mast
-AG3+VTOL controls for’ard ramp
-AG4+VTOL controls aft ramp
-AG5 navigation lights.

    If someone want to feedback what this is actually like with the amphibious landing of vehicles I’d be much obliged! My iPad just kept crashing adding vehicles.
