If you want to know more of of the Rose Froide, skip this part.

GOLD! We're finally here and I'm happy. Obviously I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you guys so I want to mention some individuals and thank them but that would be unfair to ALL of the people who liked my builds to the point were they upvoted and spotlighted them. My silver celebration was a bland forum post so I decided to build something functional for gold so I hope you guys like this. If you're reading this and and you've supported me in some way, upvoted a couple of builds, gave me tips, complemented a build of mine, became my teacher in one way or another, then I just want to say, thank you. Thank you kindly. And I think this is the perfect time to say, future builds will be sparse. Senior High is fast approaching and after a couple of minutes reading pre-calculus I was prepared to die so I'll see you guys when I can. Hopefully I can release another project before school starts.

The Rose Froide-class is a 1st generation electromagnetic launcher, or railgun, designed and built by the Royal Army. Designed to replace the Bronze Stripe II and Red Stripe IV missiles in their anti-aerial warship role, Rose Froide was to shoot down or disable aerial warships whose prominence arose in the early 1110s. The Rose Froide-Class were able to utilize several different projectiles for various roles such as standard armor piercing and high explosive. Specialized ones such as "spears" are designed to penetrate a ship's last resort anti-gravity field. Cooling was integrated to the main gun with several cooling units scattered around the gun and lining the sides of the rails. A shroud protects the projectile breach and magazine at the same time houses four cooling vents each. Rose Froide, and two other prototypes, started construction in NAC 1133 and were quickly put into service in NAC 1136 during the outbreak of the Second Continental War in which they destroyed 43 aerial warships, 7 aircraft, 4 bridges, and 11 ships.

I fixed a problem where the main gun kept shaking, so I added horizontal wheels on the bottom to keep it from shaking. It'll bounce a bit at first but It'll stay.

WARNING:

All projectiles(bombs) are equipped with a chase view so you can track all of them however it might be a pain when switching views because there's 15 of them.

Also if you notice, the projectiles are the same ones I used on my EML because:

  1. My "Building the perfect railgun" project has struck a hard rock and in the end, custom rounds are very hard to build.

  2. Summer Vacay's coming to an end and I have no time to develop custom rounds

INSTRUCTIONS:

VTOL= Rotation

TRIM= Elevation

Ag.1= Activates Projectiles

ATG to activate

Again, my Perfect Railgun project is on hold so you can only see ground targets, though I think hitting an air target would not be that hard

The railgun will signal it's activation as the main sensor unit will light up and give the cockpit view a purple tint and several warning lights will come to life as well. There is 'recoil', basically the front barrel will move back when you press the fire weapons. As well as the rear in which it will 'ram' the projectile forward.

DON'T fire guns please

This bad boy can rain Boom 50s from Wright to Snowstone. Though I haven't checked if a Maywar based RF can reach Snowstone.

Enjoy-
