Spahkreuzer in Action

The action! The adventure! The glory! The.. wait a second, isn't the winner of a Last Man Standing supposed to SURVIVE?

Spahkreuzer in action at the WWCC's 2006 Last Man Standing battle. Spahkreuzer endured three brutal rounds of free-for-all fighting and a thrilling five-minute duel with an Italian cruiser to become the Last Man Standing, then sank 30 seconds later from accumulated damage and pump failure.

You should add a sub video

@jcsv12345 Didn't you see my ship dive? It dove under the water. Doesn't that count? :D Actually, it's very hard to film submarines because they are so rare in the hobby. I film them whenever I get the opportunity, though.

thanks. I looked the other day on bowning shipyards website and couldn't find it

[kotori87]

@tacticalking161 Spahkreuzer is listed as SP-1 on the BSY website. Sorry for the confusion.

[kotori87]

@tacticalking161 The Spahkreuzer hull is only available from Bowning Shipyards in Australia, but you can get many other hulls from Battler's Connection and Strike Models, both of which are in the US.

"torpedoes" in model warship combat are 1/4" ball bearings, just like battleship shots. The difference is that torpedoes are fixed off the side, usually with good downward angle for putting holes below the waterline.

@kotori87 can you get the hull from anywhere else? also, what are you using for torpedoes?

[kotori87]

@Mrblaze0505 Yes, Subs are allowed to dive, if you can get it working reliably. Armament-wise, they get the same "torpedo" cannons (1/4" ball bearing cannons) that any other torpedo-armed warship would get. This is a very powerful weapon, if you can hit with it. The challenge, of course, is hitting with it.

[Mrblaze0505]

@kotori87 are subs allowed to go beneth the surface if so wht armarment do they have

[kotori87]

@MrPEliason I bought the ship used and refitted it, so I don't know where the plans came from. You can get a fiberglass hull (and plans) from Bowning Shipyards in Australia, though.

I decided not to arm the guns because I didn't have room for CO2 bottle, guns, and torpedoes. I dropped the CO2 bottle and guns in favor of torpedoes, because the torpedoes pack a much more powerful punch against larger opponents.

Kotori,

Where did you find the plans to this this . Ive been looking all over for them . Was this a fiberglass hlll or a Scratch build .

I also noticed that the guns were not armed , any reason why ?
