So, some merchant raider may think that this is a harmless ocean liner and try to sink it. But as soon as it gets too close, it will be sunk by the 12 and 13 inch guns. And if it doesn't work out, the Prinzregent Luitpold can just sail away at 33 knots, outrunning most other ships.

VTOL slider 1/3 up and thrust at 15% for more realistic speed when sailing straight. When turning, increase thrust.

    @dootdootbananabus Oh yes, they can be turned to face any targets sailing beside the ship.

    @Dllama4 @ShatSlanger Thanks! @Patrick20206 If it was dealing with pirates, it would be cheaper to run them over. But the guns are there so it can "escort" convoys.

    Wouldn't pirates already notice this is a trap because it looks like a warship?
