[Anti-Shipping] Pan Spatial Argonas
An entry for Anti-Shipping Challenge
This challenge distracted me and make me ignore my break. And now after I've finished this build, I can finally rest myself for real.
Description is under construction. I might want to add some brand new components soon.
[Overview]
Argonas is a large ground effect aircraft designed to rapidly deliver supporting combat firepower to surface and coastal ground forces. The features of the Argonas are not definitive. The purpose of the configuration design effort is to understand what different features would be needed in such a vehicle. And, more importantly, discover the intersections and opportunities to thoroughy integrate technologies and and create a new physical form that performs as more than a sum of it’s parts.
[In popular culture]
This sea monster is becoming a playable ship in Modern Warships.
Features
- Deadly weapons that are specifically designed for anti-ship use
Manual instruction:
- Throttle = Move forward.
- Brake = Brake.
- S = Reverse (set throttle to 0 first).
- A & D = Turn left & right.
- AG8 = Enable RADAR rotation.
Armaments
- 1x Argonas EMRG (120mm)
- RIM-161 (SM-3)
- AM-222 Plasma
- 4x Phalanx CIWS
- Countermeasures
Armaments Guidelines
AM-222 Plasma
High energy electromagnetic rail gun.
- Main cannon, aims manually with VTOL & Trim
RIM-161 (SM-3)
The RIM-161 Standard Missile 3 (SM-3) is a ship-based missile system used by the United States Navy to intercept short- and intermediate-range AIR targets.
- Multirole missile, quite hypersonic, target guided.
AM-222 Plasma
A light anti-ship missile designed to break through enemy air defenses.
- Anti-ship missile, fire and forget, spam-able, can be fired rapidly after lock.
Phalanx CIWS
Ship-based AA gun mount for defense against anti-ship missiles, helicopters and planes.
- Automatically aims at target.
Weapon control
- AG1 = Activate weapon
Cannon control
- VTOL = Rotate left/right.
- Trim = Aim up/down.
- LAlt = Fire.
CIWS controls
- CIWS may quite unprecision, but it will deal damage to anything who dare to come closer to it.
- Automatically aim at your target.
- Spacebar = Fire CIWS.
Credits
- Podphong3212 for the new targeting code for the CIWS (Borrowed the funky code from here).
- CIWS are modified and derived from my previous super warships.
- SayaRayhan the railgun was borrowed from his Zumwalt (or much like replicating/copying the weapon setting. Hey at least I give him a credits).
- Pan Spatial & Artstorm FZE
Creator's note:
- Originally i want to make this as PEA or LPA. But because of the weapons, the part counts says: "Nu-uh!"
- Despite strong against missile, but i am strongly not recommend you to playing chicken with missiles because this craft is easily to get knock-backed by missiles due to it's pretty much light mass. If i increase the mass then it just only make it even much worse.
- The retractable hydrofoils below are not exist, because i want to keep the part as low as possible. If i add much detail, then it would gotta be a waste of parts and the part counts increased.
- But before you ask.
Yes, this is a Modern Warships reference!

Well done thanks for joining
@Pan
@Liquidfox01 well indeed this is a stealth ekranoplan.
Looks like a stealth Ekranoplan
@IslandSinker If i add much detail, then it would gotta be a waste of parts and the part counts increased. I want to keep the part as low as possible.
only the retractable hydrofoils below are missing, but overall an awesome build.
do you accepthttps://www.simpleplanes.com/Forums/View/1937860
@LunarEclipseSP yes :)
@SuperSuperTheSylph MQ-99 (aka EADS Barracuda) but it's a manned ground effect warship and huge
reminds me of MQ-99,it is so fun
@OkaNieba online pain
"The Damage To The Ship Is One Hundred Percent !"
@LunarEclipseSP when is the next batch of modern ships..out of curiosity
I fear it but I like it
@LunarEclipseSP no problem
@LunarEclipseSP I will try it in the next few days
@oldmate52
@LOGANP117andMAX aww thank you <3
Oh wow good job :D
