Really nice ship. I love the turret layout, with that turret placed in the middle of the ship. If you use the overload mod to add the property damperMultiplier to the rotators on the turrets and set the value really high, the turrets will stop wobbling and move much more smoothly.

@SakuraSaku Thanks. I don't really know what to build next. I was thinking about maybe doing something smaller, like a corvette. Do you have ant suggestions?
Works very well against the Pearl. It is also very fun to fly and blast things with. I made the USS Beast levitate up into the air and start sinking through the air as if it were water. Very interesting plane...
@Marine I know I sound stupid here, but how do I work the Shock Cannon, it just doesn't seem to do anything. It fires but does no damage. The shots just go straight through everything. Sorry if i am being annoying.
Edit: Nevermind, it is working now. I was just flying too close to the target. I think you have to be quite high up or nothing happens.
Awesome creation. It is really fun to fly something this big. Just one question : Can the shock cannon actually hit anything or is it just for decoration? It doesn't seem to damage anything.
@Aarons123 Thanks for the advice. Now that I have done a bit more research I think you're right. Some very early ironclads still did use cannonballs, but i'm pretty sure this ship (which resembles later ironclads) would have used shells. Thank you for pointing this out. I always do appreciate critisism on my designs as it helps me to improve and make better designs. I have plans to build another (and more historically accurate) ironclad, and I will consider your good advice while doing so.
@Jim1the1Squid This is based on the shape of the SF40, which is really wide, but i do agree that it could be made a bit more combat effective if it was more compact.
Good suggestions. I built this with my phone so I couldn’t use mods. But I’ll definitely make some improvements when I next get access to my PC. @Texasfam04
I suck at naming things, so I just simply state what the thing is, rather than name it. Have you got any name suggestions, because I know the name sucks.@Chancey21
@PickyPlanes There is an issue where large parts will crash mobile devives. I built this on a gaming PC so i didnt have much bother, but it always crashes on my phone
@ThomasRoderick @BlazeInfinity Thanks for the advice. I will keep that in mind when I build my next ship.

+1just blows up? looks cool though
+1great replica. I love replicas

The chaff still works? I thought I disabled it. Oh well, I guess if it works as a smokescreen it isn’t a total oof. @PointBlank2000

@Jim1the1Squid Yeah. I was going for a kind of whacky look for this. And it was built in a day anyway. Definitely not my best.
Nice boat. I love the name too. Very creative!
@Hawkeye156 I suck at building ships like this. I spend ages building them, then they just turn out awful. Guess I just need more practice.

@Trainzo No problem. A great plane like this deserves upvotes.
@Beepbeepsheep No problem. A good craft like this deserves upvotes.
Nice ship. Simpleplanes needs more people building things like this.

@BlazeInfinity Thanks for the spotlight.
@BlitzBombers You may use the cannon if you want. Just credit me for the cannon.
@JamesBoA Well done. You predicted the future :)
Wow, this is amazing. I really must build a modern carrier someday. My current one sucks.

@Mustangflyer Yeah, I know. It's awesome lol
@Boatrider Yep. I hate that SF40 thing...
@destroyerP Yeah. I hate that thing. This one isn't too bad as it blows itself up every once in a while lol.
@Jim1the1Squid Thanks. I just don't want to change the shape too much as i want to keep it sort of historically accurate.
@Jim1the1Squid This is based on the shape of the SF40, which is really wide, but i do agree that it could be made a bit more combat effective if it was more compact.
@DerekSP Yup
@RandomContent2 A coupe of hours. I used the Fine Tuner mod to make it big. The actual design is very simple.

I tried making it piston jump. It was ok for small jumps but R6 size jumps would just make
it spazz out XD
@PickyPlanes There is an issue where large parts will crash mobile devives. I built this on a gaming PC so i didnt have much bother, but it always crashes on my phone
@MIWTheGamer rip. i hate it when it does that. are u on mobile or PC
@MIWTheGamer oh right. Didnt even notice
@MIWTheGamer thanks. i checked out youre planes. They're cool!
@MIWTheGamer thats ok. The plane sucks anyway. only took about an hour to build
@Tkdmlg It’s still very popular. You will always find a match, but it is very hard to get good at. It’s a lot more tactical than your typical shooter.
Cool. Needs more upvotes
4 upvotes, 1 download...?
It does a bit. Lol🙉@BusterShortWolf
@Stellarlabs ok. thanks for upvote
should i make a smaller one. what are ur pc specs. my mid-end gaming pc can handle it ok @Stellarlabs
Looks like a ship I made. But a lot better
@Stellarlabs Thanks for the feedback
This thing is the size of a human and yet weighs 3.4 tons. Interesting...
Thanks for the comment. It is a bit basic but I think I got the general shape mostly right. @Liquidfox
