Original build here

'Escort' version (Multiple spawnable at once) here

((Compatible with all other escort warships, as well as all defensive series builds as long as the escorts are spawned in first as seen in screenshots))

Ki-76 in thumbnail here (also made by Blyatnov)

  • The Defensive warships series hopes to make killing AI warship targets with aircraft 10x harder. (and fun) All ships have a semi-realistic AA complement, with guns that all have semi-realistic ranges, muzzle velocities, firing arcs, and etc.
  • (Wiki)
    Akitsu Maru was a Japanese "Type C" landing craft depot ship and escort aircraft carrier operated by the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA). In some sources Akitsu Maru and Nigitsu Maru are also considered to be the first amphibious assault ships, although, this title can be disputed with Shinshu Maru that served a similar role, and being a template for Akitsu Maru.

Functional armament

(Spawn as AI in aggressive mode, guns will activate and deactivate depending on if they are in arc/range. It will start maneuvering once you get within 5km of it)

- 4x Type 88 75 mm AA gun
(Could've either been 2 or 4 on her depending on the year, but not too sure)
Max range: 9098m
Min range: 500m
Projectile velocity: 720m/s

- 6x single Type 96 25 mm AT/AA gun mounts
max range - 6.8km
min range - 0km
muzzle velocity - 820m/s

Notes

  • This one has a super low part count so that everybody can get annihilated!
  • This also means this is the first ship in a while to have an escort version, since not too many more parts are needed to make it compatible.
  • The type 96s are stupidly accurate on this one, and the 75s fire pretty quick, so be careful

Enjoy getting obliterated!
