6,776 Nitsu  1.9 years ago

History

A nuclear powered cruiser built for the US Navy in the 60s, specializing in anti ship combat and anti air escort. her first action being the shelling of Vietcong positions in the Vietnam War. As part of her refueling and overhaul program, her Harpoon launchers was removed. Her last action would be in the Operation Desert Storm, where she supports the coalition with her Tomahawk missiles. She would be scrapped in 1995.

Controls

AG1: Turret control
AG2: Arm Tomahawk missiles and Harpoon missiles
AG3 - AG7: Arm Interceptor missiles

Note: the launchers is set to always rotate with the VTOL and Trim sliders. To fire the missiles, simply arm the interceptor, aim, and then fire the first 2 missiles. To reload, simply set the launchers at top position, press AG4, rinse and repeat to AG7. You can immediately reload without setting the launcher at the top position but its not realistic.

Rant

Helo. Nitsu here back with another ship build, goddamnit how long has it been since i posted i have lost all kinds of skill of building, uhhhhh anyways today is a little different because this is the first time i used a proper arm launcher. Back then i do use arm launchers but they don't realod, they simply uhhh exist i guess. College had been on a bit of a break, there had not been many assignments so i was able to make this post, but uhhh, i had been joining a lot of activities and soon, it'll be busy. Also i don't really plan on stealing Mintlynx's arm launcher anytime soon, because im quite happy with the results and wish to develop it on my own, somehow..... I really hope im not holding you up here reading lmao. Anyways, i hope you enjoy the build, and thank you for downloading and playing the craft, means the most to me. Have a good night.
