Das Boot Mk-VIII
Per The Man in the High Castle scenario, The Reich patrols all world seas. 8 Cleavers, 30 Infernos, and long-range laser cannon. Roll to steer. Pitch to climb. Attack speed 10 mph to 130 mph. Vtol bar raised=up takeoff from sea. Android test of mine, enjoy the results.
Hints:
- Das Boot Mk-VIII submarine will cruise at 800 mph at 10,000 feet toward the next island fleet, after demolishing it's first fleet.
- Use careful throttle, pitch, and, next, center the Vtol-bar quickly following sea takeoff. Flying in a straight bee-line between island targets is recommended.
- Das Boot Mk-VIII lands level on the sea @250-450 mph. Level means level like an aircraft. That way, on-board missiles remain dry and fully functional.
--Rare, the submarine could be flipped or dunked during sea-landing.
--This does not affect attack capabilities.
--Operational procedure: the submarine will resurface.
--Next, use cockpit view. Use Guns. (Laser cannon).
The 10 mile-range laser cannon courtesy of @SledDriver remain deadly to surface targets while Das Boot Mk-VIII is afloat.
-Use trim to: control range and elevation on the cannon while attacking Jundroo targets. Pitch trim up/down provides 10 mile - 0.1 mile range on the built-in cannon.

@Stingray das orakel vom berge translated into english: the oracle from the mountain.
@Stingray auschwitz references? and mister dick is most likely one of the best authors in the sector of hard scifi with military subtones.
(Take your issue up with the author, Phillip K Dick. The long deceased author is famous for visualizing potential dystopian societies.) Your Auschwitz WW2 referencences are not necessary in SP comments, IMHO. @Irobert55
@Stingray very dystopian indeed. did you know that the german title of this story is das orakel vom berge?
You chose the most dystopian concept I’ve ever posted. Congrat’s for sharing your perspective. (For me, just it’s only a digital game model.) @Irobert55
the author of the man in the highcastle was very lazy. thats simply put the german word for boat (thats at the same time the german word for submarine when you want to shortcall it) and used it as a name. looks great but with a somehow funny name when you know that fact (or the german movie with the same name perhaps he used the title of the movie idk). fun fact there is a movie called das boot and this movie has the licnesses of herbert gronemeyer (musician) and sky dumont (actor) in it and is most likely the best submariner movie ever made (because the author of the book it was based on was a reporter placed on the submarine with the same designation. u96 if you want to know).
Thanks @Sgtk
Thank you @Tully2001
Yea, already updated. @SledDriver
@Stingray Good improvement. By the way, in the description, I think you mean trim instead of pitch to elevate the laser cannon.
Oh the background music, right! BTW, I made minor mods to your cannon needed on mobile platforms, so that your original airborne blue lasers could still be aimed and be 100% effective at 10 miles sea-level. @SledDriver
@Stingray I didn't -- that song was in the movie 'Das Boot,' at least in the English version.
Ye Olde lyrics are based on WW1 Irish musings, how did you know I was part Irish?@SledDriver
It's a long way to Tipperary, it's a long way to home...
