Takao Class Heavy Cruiser_Replica

Description
A 1-1 scale replica of the Takao class heavy cruiser as requested by :BeckBlitz

This is a full sized version with multiple AI per weapon system and a complete interior

Weapons include
- 10x 20cm guns (5x2)
- 4x high angle guns
- 6x AA cannon (2x3)
- 16x Torpedo (4xQuads)
All Guns are designed to be closer towards realisim so expect slow fire rates, another version will be launched with increased fire rates but reduced dmage.

I hope you guys enjoy this

because: https://www.reddit.com/r/accidentalswastika/
or in lore terms: The japanese discovered the secret nazi propulsion doomsday systems and implemented them in this fictionalized Takao replica.

I didn't realize until somebody in my stream a few weeks later pointed it out... I should probably get around to changing them to something less... swastickaly

I'll look into it when i cannon overhaul her.

may i ask why the hell are the ships propeller supports look like a quad swastika aka fucking nazi crosses?

Updated: replaced some of bridge with alloy to reduce overall mass - this is only first stage
Also moved rudders up a bit so that the ship will no longer capsize when trying to turn

haha that's true, i saw it was top havy so i thought i'd go overboard!

I think there are a few things i can do to fix it as this version predates the drag updates so i need to make quite a few adjustments.
I could definitely replace some of the superstructure with alloy though :)

I could try having a bash at one, i know there are people doing IJN ships who may beat me to it though as right now developement has slowed whilst i do a british styley replica youtube campaign but if i get a chance i'll do it!

Sweet! It's pretty funny that she's even more horrendously top-heavy than the real life version: perhaps you could replace some parts of the superstructure with alloy? After all, even if you're going for realism, I doubt the real Takao had 1-metre-thick steel plating on the bridge.
Also, any chance you could try doing a modified Kuma-class light cruiser? The one with 40 Long Lance launchers, of course. XD

thats true for the slow ships, like one this big. Even so it is still amazing as hell. If you made more of the imperial japanese war ships as nicely as this one that would be amazing.

The only problem in this game is that you need to make the barrels ridiculously long to make it effective in Battle....

Oh hey an other great build.... and its you again!
If you ever build the Yamato I may or may not start worshipping you like a god you have been warned...
