KMS Tirpitz (WWII Challenge)

Auto Credit Based on BaconAircraft's -[FINISHED!]- WORLD WAR 2 CHALLENGE!

After a rather long break from simple planes I bring you the KMS Tirpitz! An increadibly detailed model of the largest German battleship built during WWII with every turret on the ship fully controllable, unfortunately it was not really feasable to make the turrets fire, as the correct kinds of guns don't really exist in SP. This was a huge undertaking that I began four days ago, while on a seven hour flight to Dubai. The ship's top speed matches that of the real Tirpitz at 30 Knots (roughly 34/35 mph) though, the ship turns like, well to say it turned like a bus would be unfair to the bus, so I guess it turns like a Bismarck class battleship? In other words the turning circle is really not good. Overall I'm happy with the model, though I must say, my laptop did strugle at times to run this so I don't know how phone friendly the model really is.

Controls!

Use yaw to steer, and throttle to use the engines.

Generally VTOL down will turn the turrets port (to the left) and VTOL will turn the turrets starboard)

Trim will move the guns up and down.

Use activation group 1 with VTOL and Trim for the main 15 in. turrets

Use activation group 2 with VTOL and Trim for the smaller 5.9 in. port side (left hand side) turrets.

Use activation group 3 with VTOL and Trim for the smaller 5.9 in. starboard side (right hand side) turrets.

Use activation group 4 with VTOL and Trim for the larger 10.5cm flak turrets.

Use activation group 5 and VTOL for the smaller flak turrets.

And finally use activation group 6 and VTOL for the torpedo tubes

    As soon as I saw the jap destroyer I thought my chance of winning was gone then I saw this and I knew my chance of winning was destroyed.

    @MEGANOOB xD there are different categories, so I might have won the ship class, although there is another very good ship there too... and as far as I can tell there have only been three ships submitted so far. One of which has already been marked and scored quite highly. Though I appreciate your telling me that my entry was deserving of winning.
