IJN Taiho-Class Carrier

Description
This is a near replication of the IJN Taiho supercarrier Japan designed during WWII. The is equipped with a working smoke stack, two elevators to get into the lower hangar section of the ship, and has ample visibility for the captain while on the bridge. It isn't exact in size and shape but is close in most respects. The machine guns are not working as they are static artillery pieces.

Controls:
W/S - Speed
A/D - Rudders
Be sure to use the padded seat behind the captain's chair to get out.

Pros:
Great armor if taking firing
Large open hangar space to store supplies and small craft
Accessible rear underside (I might put life rafts there in a future update)
Bridge Viewing windows
Multiplayer friendly :0

Cons:
Mediocre speed for a ship of similar size.
Likes to tilt if you turn too hard, but will never roll over (Even in max wind)
No armament to defend yourself (I will add something in the future)
Relatively large spawn area required

Up/Down Arrows - Raise and Lower Deck Crane
Left/Right Arrows - Rotate Deck Crane

The only thing I've found to fit on the elevators are these tiny copters made by Uran_Wind. Definitely check them out.
(Usually a machine gun on the right and a hardpoint with bomb on the left do the trick for fighters.)

Thanks! Can't wait to try it (I think there might be another aircraft that can fit on the elevetor, given the size of the heli you linked in the description Right Here )

Yup, it works on a normal dock space. It takes up most of the dock space but it does fit in a normal setting.

Out of curiosity, is it possible to spawn this at a normal dock? I've been looking for a somewhat-decent carrier that fits in a normal dock for a while now, and so far no luck ;-;

I checked everything again today to make sure it works. The upload seems fine on my side so it may be that something got deleted or messed with. Try checking if the engines have power, fuel, and all the electricity is hooked up. If that is fine, check to make sure the controls are connected to the seat. If none of that works please contact me again and I'll see what I can do to help, hopefully it works! Cheers!

I made a generally wide hull and kept the bottom flat. Rounded bottoms seem to like to roll over at least for me. The hull also sat pretty high in the water so I decided to hollow it out if you look under it lol. An unorthodox method but it makes it really stable even in high winds or a storm.
