Steam Torpedo Boat - "Pike"

/!\ i dont know if this works anymore and im too afraid to try /!\

the Pike is an 1890-s era steam powered torpedo boat. its a boat and it torpedoes. steam driven. ey.



notable features include:
- 3-cylinder steam engine
- 2 steam driven torpedoes
- split-image coincidence rangefinder
- close to 1k coal
- close to 30 knot top speed
- 2 6-pounder guns




1 - Boiler key switch in engine room, hatch behind funnel
2 - Wait until steam builds. check the gauges at the firebox or if the engine/propeller is rotating
3 - Move the telegraph with W/S at either helm

4 - to stop, cut the air supply at the top of the engine room

This is intentionally a simple process, the hardest step in the process is the waiting




Telegraph - 3 forward speeds and 3 reverse speeds
Helm - steers
Rangefinder repeater - repeats information from rangefinder
Bilge pumps - bilges the pumps

A similar helm is found at the stern deck. this can be locked from the wheelhouse



unfold rack - deploys the torpedo rack
drop torpedo - drops the torpedo
activate torpedo - activates the torpedo steam engine. no going back from this point

The torpedo moves at 55 knots with a range of 1.4km, and will arm seconds after activating. dropping the torpedo will not activate it, this must be done manually. time the deployment right or use the arcade mode switch in the lower wheelhouse




Calculated range - the calculated range
target - what you point it at really
split image - a split image of the target from the view of both lenses

To find range, adjust the lenses until the upper and lower images coincide on the target. a repeat of the range readout + torpedo travel time is given to the wheelhouse helm




uh boat. cant believe ive managed to crank out another creation in a short time period without losing interest in it. wowee

not my most logically advanced thing but its definitely up there in other qualities. like the rangefinder. and telegraph. i mean look at them. cmon how can you not like that. anyway enjoy this or face the consequences

made for the brownstar shipyards torpedo boat challenge

edit 1: paint errors and rangefinder stabilization
