Harpoon a destroyer or carrier!

If you miss with the harpoon, there is a chopper to collect and position the harpoon as needed!

Hints:

• Start on the back of the carrier, harpoon a destroyer and then release the cables, or
• On the back of the carried, AG2 and AG3, and the barge will roll off the carrier and start to be towed.
• You need to let the harpoon winches pay-out its cables before using the harpoon (about a minute after hitting AG4).
• Once the barge is being towed, try AG3 or AG4 to wind-in the winches. At the halfway point, hit AG8 to stop winding-in.

This can be a bit complicated…

Barge Operations:

• AG7 for propellers.
• YAW left right. If the chopper is in operation Yaw will spring back, if not, Yaw will stay on its setting/course.

Chopper Operations:

• AG1 for systems on.
• LandingGear to lower the anchor retrieval hook.
• Throttle to set elevation; 5% hover just above the water (3 metres), 15% = 15m, 25% = 30m, 50% = 60m, 100% = 90m.
• Chopper set up for stability and to maintain constant altitude, forward and sideways movement (to match ships speed etc.).

Winch Operations:

Deck winches (600m);

• AG2 to anchor (turn on magnets).
• AG3 to release the front winches (and off to retrieve).
• AG8 to suspend winch ops.

Harpoon winches (900m):

• There are two harpoons.
• AG4 to release the winch. Important - you need to let the winch pay out before you shoot the harpoon (1 minute).
• Camera 1 for harpoon sight.
• VTOL and Trim to aim - note, these are slow, so you need to lead the target and aim higher the further you are away from target.
• AG5 to release first harpoon (AG5 also turns on magnet).
• AG6 to release first harpoon (AG6 also turns on magnet).
• AG8 to suspend winch ops.

If a harpoon is in the water, use the chopper to collect it, and then position it on a ship. When you have landed on a ship, just quickly toggle the corresponding magnet to release it from the chopper and attached itself to the ship.
