It was a war of transports I brought 2 friends and my family so I got sunk twice Jeff gave us a 3D printed transport to share between me and my friends... It conveniently came in three parts Will post pics when I figure out how to.
I wish to see this transport https://rcwarshipcombat.com/threads/adding-photos-to-your-posts-the-easy-way.443952/
Glad to see the club is still battling. I will have to see about visiting next time I'm in the area. I think that's the Montana I helped build back when I was in the area. I don't see much of the internals I helped build, but I recognize the extra-thicc subdeck. Did they ever get the secondaries on that ship working? Also curious about the transport in the background of the U-boat. Was that the Mamiya Maru? If so, that was my very first ship. I also think there's a Kreuzer P in the background.
Is it a green transport that hasn't been run in 15 years? I was running it for the first half then it listed too much and got annoying It's Japanese right I was also running the transport in the background for the second half I made 4 runs in 15 minutes And yes that's kreuzer p It took a beating from Joes Iowa and the pocket BB in the second game
Kotori the Montana and the unknown merchant were Sparky's so it could be the one you worked on and I removed the secondaries. The boat handles very well for a ship of that size and stop by when you are in town.
That looks like the Mehoshi Maru, a transport built by another club member the same year I joined. It was also one of my first CAD projects when I went to college. If that's the one I'm thinking of, it has probably been sunk more times than most ships in the club have been in combat.
Mehoshi Maru and her big sister, the Mamiya. The Mehoshi was commissioned in 2004, and (while I was in the club) she had almost a 1:1 sinks to sorties ratio. I believe this is the ship in green. Good to see she's still maintaining that record after fifteen years. The ship I originally commented on was this one: She was the first ship I ever sailed in combat, after Joe loaned her to me in exchange for a refit.
The problem with the Mehoshi Maru is that it is very top heavy and it likes too roll over. I will be making a new lighter superstructure. We got the boat in the lower picture it from Sparky and no one is sure what ship it is.
It's the same hull as the Mamiya Maru, the second ship in the top photo, just a different superstructure. It was originally Joe's, until he sold it to Sparky. He called it the Queen Olga. I agree that the Mehoshi is a bit top-heavy. Her superstructure was originally plywood, with a sawed-off broomhandle for the smokestack. More robust than a balsa block superstructure, but definitely not light. I bet a 3d-printed super would be better. You may also consider swapping out the SLA batteries for something lighter, and then put some lead in the bottom.
Oh yeah when I something hit the superstructure It rolled over. The batteries also kept shifting around...
Might be a different ship, @Kotori87 mentioned the Mehoshi was commissioned in 2004, my Moomiya is a 2007 Beets model.
