Gascogne! r e m a s t e r e d

• A remaster of my first battleship, Gascogne
• Made around 50 hours total, at least.
• 1850-part version(and better aiming system)
• The Catapult does not work but traverses
• No, there is no smoke on the final build. It was only for screenshots
• A reminder that this build’s gun elevation is REVERSED (try to reverse mouse control in CONTROLS settings)
• The ship isn't 100% fully modelled due to part-limit constraints
• Video demonstrating the guns (very boring)

About
Gascogne was a planned Richelieu-class battleship of the French Navy.

Stats
-69,420kg weight
-69,420L of fuel
-61kmh (33knots) max speed

FIRING RANGE
-380mm = 26km-32km
-152mm = 15km-16.5km
-100mm = 14km-31km

TRAVERSE TIME
-380mm (330 degrees) = around 35 seconds
-152mm (330 degrees) = around 16 seconds
-100mm (to maximum) = around 4 seconds

FLY TIME
-380mm (to max range) = 62 seconds
-152mm (to max range) = 55 seconds
-100mm (45 degree angle) = 70 seconds

SHELL VELOCITY
-380mm = 550m/s
-152mm = 400m/s
-100mm = 400m/s to 450m/s

Controls
1- Activate 380mm Quad Turrets (Pitch/Roll)
2- Activate 152mm Triple Turrets (Pitch/Roll)
3- Activate PORTSIDE 100mm Twin Turrets (Pitch/Roll)
4- Activate STARBOARD SIDE 100mm Twin Turrets (Pitch/Roll)
5- Activate Spotlights
LandingGear- 380mm Quad Turrets' Arming (Activated by Default)
VTOL- Turn the Catapult
Forward- Throttle
Reverse- Brake
Turn- Yaw

Controls are also in the Craft Instructions

MASTER CAUTION
You can hit yourself with the bow 380mm cannons, this results to instant death so dont fire directly towards the bow

Difference to the original
- A more realistic approach for the build (remastered the hull and made newer better guns)
- A better steering (Rudder actually works as the rudder, it uses wings for steering, there are no gyros in the ship)
- A realistic approach for propulsion (the propellers actually provide the thrust of the build, you lose a propeller, you lose acceleration. Reverse on the other hand is controlled by an engine)
- A more sensical freedom (The guns are MANUALLY Controlled instead of auto aim, I suggest using mouse aiming)
- A LOT OF PARTS (More than twice the original build in terms of part-count)
- Smoothness (the craft, especially the bow, is made to have a very smooth flare, way better than the original)
- 'Aircraft removed due to treaty limitations'
