HOLY SHIP IT FLOATS
As you can see, this is my first attempt at a boat

Yes folks, it's a boat, a ship, somehing that floats on water

"bUt DAr" I here you screaming in my friggin ears "tHAt coULd nOT pOsSIbLy be YOUR FIRST SHIP"

Well suck a fat piece of sh*p cus you're right

I tried to build the Bismark as my first ship but I failed miserably

So here's a build that is less of a failure then my Bismarck(still a failure). I rammed all the funky trees expressions I could think of into it, except the stuff I said I would do, like gun convergence over different distances(hence failure)

anyways, moving on

Features

• Realistic(kinda) speed, reload, size, gun traverse and elevation
• Synchronized turrets at different angles w/o using more than one rotator for traverse(except for the rear turret; I was lazy)
• Synchronized ranges for the main battery(even though the velocities and elevations are different)
• Main Battery is synchronized to the rangefinder(ok, I'm making this way too easy for you guys)
• Working rangefinder(doesn't tell you the range though, you use it to range the guns). Thanks @SnoWFLakE0s for the scopes. I didn't use the code of your rangefinder because I thought that would be cheating
• Has a ton of guns(that's not really me, it just has according to the specs)
• Guns hold fire when not aimed at their side(WITH ALL NEW FT CODE)
• Can take a few hits from the beast's escort destroyers(I have not tested it on the WW2 destroyers though)
• looks nice :)

How to Use Rangefinder(Zoom Mod required)

Switch to Camera4
Point Camera4 at targer(using Yaw control)

Switch to Camera5
Adjust Elevation(using Throttle control) until Camera5 is pointed at target

Switch between Cameras 4 and 5 rapidly (using "f8" and "C")
If Cameras are not aligned(when the target still shakes while switching between cameras), adjust the Elevation until there is minimal/no shaking(important note: only observe whether the target is shaking, not objects in the background)

Fire

Observe fall of shot

Adjust Elevation accordingly

If you did everything right you should end up with this

Note: Camera6 is for you plebs out there who would rather use the regular aiming system(lol jk). It's for people who don't have the zoom mod(sorry mobile) or can't understand how to use the rangefinder(that's why go to school... ya pleb). It has not been calibrated soooo... good luck hitting anything

How to control cranes and unload boats

AG8: Toggles crane control(ON: Right / OFF:Left)

AG4: Grabs first boat
+
LandingGear : Releases first boat

AG5: Grabs second boat
+
Landing Gear: Releases second boat

AG6: you know what to do already

Note: be sure to turn off AGs and extend LandingGear before grabbing the next boat

Description

The Deutschland class was a group of five pre-dreadnought battleships built for the German Kaiserliche Marine. The class comprised Deutschland, Hannover, Pommern, Schlesien, and Schleswig-Holstein. Built between 1903 and 1908, the ships closely resembled those of the preceding Braunschweig class, though they had stronger armor protection. They were made obsolete before they were even completed by the launch of the revolutionary Royal Navy battleship HMS Dreadnought in 1906. As a result, they were the last ships of that type built for the German Navy. They were followed by the Nassau-class battleships, Germany's first dreadnought battleships.

P.S.
I don't know why, but the thumbnail keeps coming out darker than when I first saw and edited it. kjlzfhcsodcx hits head on keyboard SOMEONE TEACH ME HOW TO TAKE PICTURES AND MAKE A PROPER THUMB NAIL PLS

Also, if you can figure out how the ft works in the turrets(hehe I'd like to see you try), feel free to use them w/o giving credit. If not, and all you did was copy-and-paste, give credit where it is due :)

P.P.S.
I have fixed the rangefinder(it is now quite accurate. hmmm yyeeeesss)
