HMS Warspite

1:1 replica of the Royal Navy Queen Elizabeth Class ship HMS Warspite in her 1942 camouflage.

She has her historical armour layout and all guns have correct rates of fire and bore diameters. This was initially created for the Dangerous Waters campaign so it is somewhat lacking in repair bots etc, and she has at most 3 metal blocks thick of protection (not including alloy beams). The guns also have various range limits on them.

Unfortunately the design doesn't play well with FtD's physics and as such I had to add active stabilisation measures as it is very top-heavy thanks to the massive superstructure. Max speed is 7.5m/s in Neter.

DETECTION UPDATE: Warspite has received the following equipment
- Passive radar, sonar and wireless detection
- Active radar and sonar (To simulate the relative inaccuracy of equipment at the time, no tracker units are used)
- Wireless set
- 90 degree cameras (To simulate crewmen with binoculars)
- Lots and lots and lots of coincidence rangefinders

All equipment is in historical positions - or at least they're in a position where some sort of equipment was on the real ship (Exception is sonar which is just slapped onto the botton). Rangefinder turrets should turn to track targets, but they seem very temperamental.

Detection Update part 2: Spares and misc storage crates removed, replaced with the old scrap containers as these are 2 blocks long and so halves the number of crates. Replaced some blocks with the new 2m and 3m beams - It's too tedious to go over the whole ship and update with these blocks but I'll continue to add them if I see somewhere they fit.

Detection Update part 3: Changed the weapon slot assignments, so the rangefinder turrets can now be manually forced to face a target. I also adjusted the bow curve as it was too high out of the water before.

Weapon slots are as follows:
1: Rangefinder turrets
2: 2pdr Pom-Poms
3: 6in guns
4: 4in guns
5: 15in main guns
