This is the Japanese battleship Fuso. Much of the work was done by Walrus Jr., but Walrus Sr. got involved near the end.
To Run: Throttle up to move forward and use roll to turn.
AG:1= Turn aircraft launch deck (using VTOL slider)
AG:2 = Turn guns 1 & 2 (pitch to raise).
AG:3 = Turn gun 3
AG:4 = Turn gun 4
AG:5: Turn guns 5 & 6
AG:6 Launch scout aircraft
This project is large, and won’t work on mobile, but we hope you can appreciate the effort it took to build this (approximately 60 hours).
Japanese battleship Fuso was the lead ship of the two Fuso-class dreadnought battleships built for the Imperial Japanese Navy. Launched in 1914 and commissioned in 1915, she initially patrolled off the coast of China, playing no part in World War I. Fuso was modernized in 1930–35 and again in 1937–41, with improvements to her armor and machinery and a rebuilt superstructure in the pagoda mast style. With only 14-inch guns, she was outclassed by other Japanese battleships at the beginning of World War II, and played auxiliary roles for most of the war. During the Battle of Leyte Gulf. She was sunk in the early hours of 25 October 1944 by torpedoes and naval gunfire during the Battle of Surigao Strait. Some reports claimed that Fuso broke in half, and that both halves remained afloat and burning for an hour, but according to survivors' accounts, the ship sank after 40 minutes of flooding. Of the few dozen crewmen who escaped, only 10 survived to return to Japan. ~Wikipedia

the tower isn't high enough
Hello I’m just going to yoink her turrets for a personal project ok thank you I’ll give credit okay bye
No seriously now, is it okay? I’m building a battleship and can’t seem to get her turrets right
@DerpyCookie17 if I recall correctly one Fuso Class was sunk during the mid-late Island Hopping campaign around late '43-early '44 I don't remember where
The best answer I can give is massive @JediWolf
@DerpyCookie17 because 14 inch guns can't out range murican....... (Wait what calibre are those coastal nuke launchers again)?
@WalrusAircraft dang wish a mobile friendly version was released but yeah dat detailing and if I recall correctly u sink this thing in Battle Stations Midway near the end of the campaign (at the wrong location of course!)😂
I did not know that. Thanks for sharing. @DerpyCookie17
A bit of history- not many Fuso’s were built and they didn’t see action for a very long time. One day they were sent as backup on an attack on a port. The Fuso’s were eventually called in however none of them got to fire a single shell because the shore batteries wrecked them all.
Thank you. This was back in the days when XML editing was just taking off. I think this was featured in a YouTube video back then. I still play this game with Walrus Jr. Our father son memories will always include playing this game together. @AlbertCeincrad
It must be an amazing post two years ago!
@WalrusAircraft any time my fellow walrus!
@Himynameiswalrus Thank you for the kind words, I take a lot of pride in this creation, and your support means an incredible amount to me! :-)

I like the illegal construction of this battleship :D
@WalrusAircraft Enter this into the warship contest @general360 is hosting :P

@KevinMurphy when did you become dev
@Gg1234 Some browsers suport it. Some don't, I use CM and it works fine.
@UnstableOrbit : Probably might be an issue because my NVIDIA card was assembled in The Land Before Time.
