Larger light cruiser-28.81
At this point, its more like an oversized battlecruiser.
Activation group 1 and roll+pitch to control main guns
Activation group 2,3 and roll+pitch to control port/starboard guns.
VTOL slider controls the propeller pitch. Up=forward down=reverse. 1/2 up/down for best effect.
Trim slider to control rudder.

@Fjorge Its basically the closest thing I have got to an Iowa class battleship in terms of size and main guns. but its armour is basically non-existent. While it would normally be a battlecruiser, I just copied the HMS Courageous and called it a light cruiser instead.
Um I don't thing this should ever be classified as a light cruiser, or even a cruiser in the first place.
i can here the song @Feanor
@Feanor there is a mod for your naval builds klink to lick
@Feanor SPREADING THE DOOM in Soviet Style ))))))))
@Feanor so many communist symbols!
@AviownCorp нет. I mean no.
Are you Russian?
Bit of the Nelson class-esque about her, lovely stuff!
