Instructions: (1) activates missile systems. VTOL + Trim to aim weapons. Throttle + Yaw to drive.

Summary

The Surface-Launched Enhanced Sea Sparrow Missile (SL-ESSM) is a Paternian mid-range surface-air missile system designed to bridge the gap between the existing SHORAD systems such as VULCAWS, Gremlin, and Skysweeper, and the Defender Area Defense System.

This particular build is to showcase a false piston system used in the ESSM launcher's elevation system. It is not intended for use as a standalone piston, but rather to imitate the use of pneumatic or hydraulic actuators used to move hinges.

    @EternalDarkness Thank you. Your spring-based false piston on your Recurve radar truck in fact was the inspiration for the pistons.

    Nice pistons. I prefer the option with springs though.
