IJN Hiryu

History

Hiryu ("Flying Dragon") was an aircraft carrier built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during the 1930s. Generally regarded as the only ship of her class, she was built to a modified Soryu design.[Note 1] Her aircraft supported the Japanese invasion of French Indochina in mid-1940. She took part in the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Wake Island. During the first few months of the Pacific War, the ship supported the conquest of the Dutch East Indies in January 1942. The following month, her aircraft bombed Darwin, Australia, and continued to assist in the Dutch East Indies campaign. In April, Hiryu's aircraft helped sink two British heavy cruisers and several merchant ships during the Indian Ocean Raid.

After a brief refit, Hiryu and three other fleet carriers of the First Air Fleet (Kido Butai) participated in the Battle of Midway in June 1942. After bombarding American forces on the atoll, the carriers were attacked by aircraft from Midway and the carriers USS Enterprise, Hornet, and Yorktown. Dive bombers from Yorktown and Enterprise crippled Hiryu and set her afire. She was scuttled the following day after it became clear that she could not be salvaged. The loss of Hiryu and three other IJN carriers at Midway was a crucial strategic defeat for Japan and contributed significantly to the Allies' ultimate victory in the Pacific

( Guide on the plane take offs )

Taking off while the carrier is on stationary

• First off, deactivate AG-8.

When you activate AG-1 the elevator will elevate itself upto the flight deck,

• And when it reaches the flight deck, the plane detatches itself in which you will start your manual Take off.

• Start to throttle and when the plane is going off the runway do your best to use yaw in order to avoid colliding with the island or going off the runway.

And if you get the latter, cope and restart

Taking off while the carrier is on throttle

• Go on full throttle, Activate AG-1, After the elevator goes up the plane should detatch and start taking off by itself.

Note:

There is a good chance that this will not fail, and a slight chance of the plane going straight to the ocean.

Do Not De Activate AG-8 when using this sequence.

A word from me

Thankyou so much for the people who helped me reach platinum and for the people who upvotes my stuff, your positive words really boosts my confidence, and the amount of downloads really helps my motivation to keep on making these stuff...

In addition, this ship doesn't not turn well as it does in reality. I forgot to fix the rudder since going through repetitive tests and failures on a phone that can barely run this ship takes a lot of effort, so I beg you to bare with it

Thankyou so much to all of you!!
