Water dart (unmaned water attack drone)

This is a water attack drone. Equiped with 6 torpidos and 2 cannons, it does a boatload of damage, literally! It is quite small and fast, so it is good for small support missions. (Although it could probibly just fight the whole battle by itself) it is powered by two small water jet propulsion systems (located in the pontoons on the side) it also has a larger, extremly eficiant water jet in the middle. The smaller jets are controled by throttle. The larger one is controled by the VTOL slider. It also has reverse, if you put the VTOL back instead of forward. I have gotten it up to about 160 mph combining both propulsion systems. When at higher speeds, use roll to turn, and at lower speeds use yaw. It is equiped with a device which is almost exactly like a VTOL rcn. (The inlets at the top take in air for use in this system) this allowes it to make very small turns. (Although only at a slow speed) Ok. Got that over with. Now for the fun part, the wepons! First, the 6 torpidos. They do decent damage. DO NOT FIRE THEM WHEN GOING OVER 50 MPH!!! They are too slow, and will hit you. I dont know if there is a way to make them go faster, but if anyone knows, please tell me! Next, the cannons. They are mounted on turrits on the top of the boat. They are aimed by using pitch and roll, which is quite fun, and easy to use, however, it makes it hard to aim while driving (boating? Piloting? Racing? Attacking? I dont know.) i love this system of aiming, and i will try to use it in future builds. It also has infinate chaff (you dont want to get blown up do you?) from the hellfox. (Link in comments) anyway, if you read all this, good job, and have fun!
