MDS Incursion (patrol boat+heli)

53.4k TheMouse  one month ago

BOTE TIME!

we be killing subs with this one


This is a patrol boat developed for the MDA, built by TheMouse. It was designed to be able to do much of everything, but has some special stuff for anti submarine warfare. It was my first attempt at fuselage wing paneling, but it actually did not turn out as bad as I expected. Although I originally intended this to be a smaller project, I actually had quite a bit of fun with it, and the part count grew quite large as a result. (This ain't a PEA)
Hopefully all the mobile devices can run it. (I did build it on mobile, but because of the text label flags, there was a small amount of lag at the end)
The MDA plans to build 10 of these for the time being, and may build more in the future, if the war demands it.


WEAPONS:

The biggest thing developed for this specific ship were the depth charges. These, although relatively simple in design, work wonders against submarines. They utilize cannons, modded to specific numbers, to explode under the water.
They are placed under the hull, a bit more than half way down the ship, as you can see below.
This is a picture of the depth charge placement
They have two different depths, so it is possible to blow ALL the submarines up. boom boom boom

It also has several cannons in front, which are great for dealing tons of damage to other ships. There are two sizes, a large one, and several smaller ones. They are each equipped with cameras, as shown below.

These not only help with aim, but may also allow this ship to be usable in VR. (I tried to make everything work, but it was my first ship, so I may have missed some stuff)
It has 3 guns, set up similarly to the cannons, for anti air.

And lastly, it has some missiles. These are stored in a small area behind the cockpit.

This opens (activate 2) to fire the missiles, as you can see here:

Lastly, it has 12 small torpedoes, but these are not used as often, as the other armament is usually plenty.


THE HELICOPTER:

This patrol boat is equipped with a small helicopter near the back, which is filled with even more weapons for killing subs. It has 3 small missiles, 3 torpedoes, 2 tiny cannons, and 2 guns. Although it is not equipped to kill many large boats, in combination with the Incursion, it can do a literal boat load of damage.
The helicopter is held in place on the heli pad with a detacher until it is time for use. When it is in use, an anchor is put down on the Incursion, to hold it in place, so it can be used more effectively.

As can be seen here, the anchor holds the boat in place, while the helicopter is moving. Combined with some other small flaps, this is enough to keep the boat from moving at all during the helicopters use.

VR

As I said before, I attempted to make this ship VR capable. To do this, I gave all the guns and cannons cameras to aim with, and gave both the helicopter and the ship VR cockpits.
Here is a picture of the helicopters cockpit:

The ships cockpit took me much longer, as I had to make it more for a boat, and less like a plane, like I normally do. Here are some pictures of it:

Based on whether or not this is curateable for VR, I will decide if any future boats and ships I make have VR cockpits. Feel free to tell me what you think about the ship in the comments below.

Instructions are in game.


Links:

Because of the higher part count of this boat, and also the fact that it contains both the ship and the helicopter, I have unlisted versions of both the helicopter, and the ship alone, not connected.

    All tags wee requested. They came from a combination of a teaser I posted a few days ago, and my auto tag list. Click here to join or leave my auto tag list.
    I apologize if there were any duplicate tags, I had multiple tag lists, making this more common, but I tried to avoid it.

    @Christiant2 I've always wanted to cooperate with you, hoping to study a type 056 frigate like ours in China.

    @126
    Thats odd. A recent boat I built had that problem, where whenever I started, it would crash, but just with that boat.
    But I dont think I updated sp yet anyway, so I doubt it has anythung to do with eachother.
