Brief Intro

This is a fictional modernized version of battlecruiser IJN Amagi partially based on historic kanpon plans, applied with a historic (planned) funnel and major&secondary weapon. The build is equipped with typical IJN AA weapons (Type96 25mmAA, Type89 127mm/L40 flak) and the proposed IJN long Bofors.
Highspeed seaplane Seiun is attached to the build for long range target acquirement and aiming. The aircraft is placed separated from the catapult in the downloaded version.

Type 89 127mm

Type 96 25mm

IJN ver. Bofors

Flak in action. I would make dyed flak smokes and cannon shells if the game mechanism supports.

Controls

AG1 - Main Armament, consists of 10 410mmL45 guns
AG4 - AA fire, use AIR-AIR to fire 16 flak shells in a salvo with fuse timer set at 3,4,5,6,7,8km, in ballistic trajectory length
AG5 - Seaplane Catapult and gyroscope
AG6 - Secondary Armament (140mmL50 guns, board sides selectable)
AG7 - Seaplane Crane
AG8 - Master control: throttle and rudder controls, seaplane aileron DISABLED if AG8 activated

VTOL for armament, searchlight, catapult, and crane transverse positioning;
Yaw for MAIN turret and rangefinders transverse (extremely SLOW);
Trim for weapon, searchlight and crane elevation;
Throttle remains normal, Roll for battleship rudder control;
LandingGear for seaplane float retraction. Landing gear shall be RETRACTED when launching.
Chaff for catapult activation and crane cable control. Turn off AG-8 and open AG-5 to launch the seaplane. Some bugs may take place during the first and second launching after the seaplane is placed on the catapult in designer mode. Restart and relaunch, retake the procedure if any structural damages take place. The bugs would be eliminated in around 3 relaunches.
The seaplane controlling is identical to regular aircrafts.
The seaplane is RELAUNCHABLE, albeit recovering the aircraft is extremely hard.
