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.

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!
