A new upgraded version of our light cruiser. The upgrades include a new turret, better engines and some upgrades to the wings and super struture. (Operation) TRIM swivals the engines and VTOL rotates the guns. 1-5 fire the guns and 6-7 jettisons the bombs. Enjoy!

    @DragonAerotech Because the older rotors look better when jutting out of the haul, it looks like something that can tilt an engine and not break unlike the new ones.

    @TheOwlAce I'm going to be testing rescaled T1000s, for larger scale, to see what the effect is. I suspect they will be better but I can't be certain. I did discover that rescaled prop engines, that are smaller, are inferior to normal scale. However jet engines do not show that drop in performance, strangely enough! I used the in-game P-51, saved as "A Test" to see how a tiny one of the newest engines would effect performance if mounted on the belly. Nothin' like a hybrid prop-jet screaming around the skies at supersonic speeds. I took off the prop then and nudged that engine into its place, adjusted weights accordingly and found out that the propeller was slowing it down! lol Anyway so by proxy, if smaller prop engines are inferior it stands to reason that larger would be superior while retaining the T1000s fuel efficiency at that! Then I don't need to worry about T2000s or T3000s to provide power I'll just use my usual "power egg" twin contra-rotating T1000s on a larger scale to propel my future airship. lol

    I can see why you're proud of this one, it's a huge improvement over the elder design! At 130+ DLs already, you're doing well!

    I do have one question though, with the reduced weight of the new rotators, why haven't you opted to convert over to them when weight is a luxury you cannot squander in an airship?

    @Halphas Yeah, I at first had a water born fleet but decided these would be more effective.

    When I am still constructing my waterborne fleet, you have already get them airborne!
