USS Oregon (BB-3) was the third and final member of the Indiana class of pre-dreadnought battleships built for the United States Navy in the 1890s. The three ships were built as part of a modernization program aimed at strengthening the American fleet to prepare for a possible conflict with a European navy. Designed for short-range operations in defense of the United States, the three Indiana-class ships had a low freeboard and carried a main battery of four 13-inch (330 mm) guns in a pair of gun turrets. Oregon and her sister ships were the first modern battleships built for the United States

Armaments :
2 × twin 13 in (330 mm)/35 caliber guns
4 × twin 8 in (203 mm)/35 caliber guns
4 × single 6 in (152 mm)/40 caliber guns

Controls :
VTOL up/down for moving forward and backward
Trim up : turn to the right
down : turn to the left
Gun Control : use Pitch for elevation and Roll for
Traverse

    @BMilan 🥳🥳 thanks!!!
    See you in the next ship challenge!!!

    Official evaluation

    - First Impression (4/5):

    While the ship is a bit barebones, given that it comes from someone who is relatively new in the community I found this ship to be rather impressive. The handling of the ship was great and it had some rather great solutions for the weapons and some details.


    - Design/Accuracy (14/15):

    The build is replica of the US Battleship Oregon (BB-3) and it does a good job at replicating the overall look of the ship. The only negative I found is the lack of some major details like the tertiary guns but I understand the ship was built on mobile so it's acceptable.


    - Details (7/15):

    The ship is rather scarcely detailed with basically only the major component being present and nothing beyond that. Again, I understand that it was built on mobile and so the builder had to stay below a limit so Im taking that into consideration with the score.


    - Features (10/20):

    The vessel only has the main and secondary cannons usable, with the forward and main guns as well as the port and starboard secondaries being separated into 4 groups. No other armament is present like the tertiary guns or the torpedo tubes.
    For propulsion and steering, there are custom built propellers and a functional rudder installed which where great to see, one thing I noticed however is that the propellers are spinning in the wrong direction than they should in order to push the ship forward or backward.


    - Build Quality (8/10):

    Despite being rather low detail, what is present on the ship is well made, inclduding the FT based gun controls or the custom propellers and rudder.
    One very interesting thing I noticed is that there are what appear to be hitboxes inside the hull, each providing some amount of buoyancy. I'm assuming this ship was meant to have a functional damage model which in the end didnt work out well (I tested two of them against each other but the enemy ship just blew up from one secondary shell) for actual naval battles which I think would have been fantastic.
    The use of tire smoke for adding smoke on the funnels was also rather ingenious, I really liked it.
    The hull is also very well built with even sliced hollow fuselages being used for the concave part at the bottom of the stern, between the propellers.
    Apart from these, the builder tried their best to be as part saving as possible and used some creative solutions to get the msot detail out of the limited part count.


    - Performance (12/20):

    The ship bounces a little on the ocean mod but once it settles, it handles well on it. Speed and steering are okay, albeit speeding up a bit slow.
    The guns are rather easily usable, tho they might be a bit too fast to traverse and they are also lacking an aiming system other than the game's predictor.


    - Description and Information (10/15):

    The description is a bit barebones with there being only one screenshot that is inaccessible. All the necessary information is there but with a few working screenshots, I think it would have looked better.
