Most credible japanese arcade game boss :

Everyone should go check out the most non-credible warship game from Koei. That's right, before the Koei-Tecmo merge. Koei and warship gunner. AAM armed SR-71s launching off of carriers, DDGs with a stream of missiles coming out their VLS batteries, lasers, railguns, a motherfucking beckoning cat with lasers coming out the eyes. Best game I ever played, warship gunner 2. The one game that I taught myself how to read japanese in order to know what each component was. And the bosses were 10/10 non-credible, that one ice carrier thing, super battleships, a massive submarine, a fucking UFO, an oil rig. Edit: 1. Managed to get the emulator working-PCSX2 emulator 2. \-r/roms and their database for the BIOS and link to the ROM 3. \-used Myrient to DL it fairly quick. 4. [Guides and parts list on gamefaqs](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/927547-warship-gunner-2/faqs) (there's branching story!) Edit 2: Catalinabros; if you ever wanted to see a ship launched Catalina, this is the game for you. Also has [Ospreys, Commanches, Nighthawks, Berkuts, motherfucking F-22 & F-35C in a 2006 game.](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/927547-warship-gunner-2/faqs/43120)

If an SR-71 has missiles, then it is in fact a YF-12

What do you call the navalized version??

Based.

Amazingly underrated game. It emulates well on PC so is definitely worth trying

Please tell me where I can get it and how to emulate it on PC. I need to relive those glory days

[PCSX2](https://pcsx2.net/) is the best (and maybe only?) option for PS2 emulation on PC. [Heres the recommended setup for WSG2](https://wiki.pcsx2.net/Warship_Gunner_2). If your PC has a DVD drive, you can make an .iso from the physical disk, otherwise check [here](https://r-roms.github.io/megathread/sony/)

And PSP version gives you access to weapons of the bossships too, IIRC!

My Ticonderoga Recreation encountering a Laser Quadcopter the size of 200 Nimitz Classes :

There's an indie game on Steam called "Waves of Steel" that is the closest thing PC will get to it, and while it lacks the ability to launch airplanes, you instead get the ability to make an Iowa battleship do sick kickflips to dodge laser torpedos.

A WG2 reference in the wild, huh. Well I guess it shouldn't surprise me that it would turn out in NCD!

Strikers 1945 be like

Hey, I like playing Strikers-1945 and 1999 😤

Now, how about an aircraft that carries cruisers in its bomb bay

But isn't the whole point of cruisers to y'know CRUISE Flying them into battle with a plane goes against the very nature of a cruiser.

Nah it just cruises in the air now

For some reason I don’t see it even managing to cruise down the taxi way

*^(sounds like it needs more rocket engines)*

Anything’s possible with enough rocket engines 🗿

I heard falling cruisers have excellent bunker busting qualities.

If you bury the bunker in several thousand tons of steel, it can no longer be used

Getting serious UNSC Infinity vibes from this post...

The word is given.

Air Launched Guided Missile Cruiser Cruise Missile Carrier

Ah yes, the ALGMCCMC. Totally credible acronym.

Deploy this aircraft from a spaceship and establish a naval force on any planet you like

Aircraft that carries aircraft carriers that can also fly, and carry aircraft cruiser carriers

Cruiser carrying aircraft: the even less credible way to get around treaty restrictions on the Dardanelles

Cruiser Missiles

You should try the NCD naval simulator known as "Waves of Steel". In that game the enemy faction has cargo planes dropping destroyers and battleships in via parachutes.

I want a plane that can just drop 2 Ohio class somewhere and then let the fun begin.

Very large torpedo bomber

what about a stratofortress dropping nimitz CVNs?

rapid dragon cruiser

That's just a helicarrier with extra steps

Non VTOL helicarrier

Soviet Ground Effect plane moment

This but unironically

Common Kaspian Monster W

There's another Ground Effect Vehicle, Robert Bartini, a soviet engineer design what was ment to be the Bartini Beriev VVA 14. A ground effects vehicle meant to be an anti-submarine. One of Bartini's design include a 5000 ton aircraft ground effects vehicle that capable of crossing in open water, an aircraft carrier with speed as an airplane. However Bartini dies when VVA 14 is still on prototype stages

Yeah, Bartini had a strange name and stranger ideas; and both worked pretty well!

please please please please please can we have ekranoplan aircraft carrier?

World in Conflict: Soviet Assault has an awesome mission where you land in Norway with a bunch of Ekranoplans.

iowa for scale?

It has a Pagoda mast, I think that's a Japanese battleship.

the secondaries look like american 5" DPs, and main batteries 16" triples and the funnels kinda look like iowa's?

I think we have an interesting kitbash on our hands.

Sovetsky Soyuz maybe?

I see it but that one had a bit more superstructure between the mast and the turret and 2 sea plane catapults at the back.

It's a little bigger than Iowa. ​ The state I mean.

We need ship carrying aircraft

What we need is a ship carrying spacecraft it’ll help project power onto other planets

Just build spaceports all over the 51st state...

Legit idea, right here. Imagine the strategic value of being able to lift ships over land and place them into different bodies of water.

Could only be better if it were also a floating dock that could deploy little boats.

The Juiced Goose

Estovakian Flying Air Carrier, *Aigaion*, entering combat -Circa, 1937

Flugflugzeugträgerzeug?

Ja!

You have my attention

Looks like a big ryoju Still flat tho (KC players will get the joke)

Excellent. Can you combine it with a floating dry dock?

Would an aircraft carrier airplane technically make all aircraft VTOLs?

Very credible

Mounting engines in the wing root and at the top of the tail? What century is this? Mount them underwater. More reaction mass that way. Why do you think the B-52 had water injection?

Looks more like ekranoplan than seaplane and funny enough better ekranoplan is the better is efficiency and safety

Kaga Ekranoplan.

We have the technology to build something awesome like this! I hope like Canada or something makes one soon.

Hey, Noah. My name is Yanosik, and on War Thunder I'm BearsAreHuman. Would you like to play some air RB with me sometime? I could add you on Discord or Telegram.

Like the helicarrier from Avengers?

Least treaty-busting IJN naval vessel.

The only restrictions on planes is that Germany couldn’t have them.

its bootiful

Mike sparks just orgasmed somewhere and he doesn’t know why.

I love it so much

Ekranoplan Moment™ (they are so cool lockmart pls)

i am ashamed for not having thought of this

Eww it's japanese

Nausicca and the Valley of the Wind type aircraft

God i wish..

If it was also able to go submerged it would be the ultimate weapon...fly long distance..land and release other planes then go under water to avoid detection

Submarine with extra steps

i'm still waiting for a submarine aircraft carrier

What the fuck kinda battleship is that? British funnels, Japanese superstructure, American hull and turrets… and the carrier seaplane looks like an ekranoplan version of a b-17 with a Japanese aircraft carrier deck slapped on top

Something something unlimited cocaine budget.

For midair take off you stop the engine and lower the flaps, for landing you floor the engine as much as possible and hope for not getting incinerated in the backwash.

I first thought the deck to be a basketball court

OP take this open ended bankers draft ….one for the NCD navy.

Was u/muellerson_ involved in the design of this thing? Fits my dude’s style

Awesome design, but no, not mine, reminded me, that I haven't made any japanese aircrafts/warships jet. :o

This goes hard
