MEET the "Flak raft"!

[p]Hello, soldiers![/p][p]Today I'm featuring a very little-known "vessel" from WWII: the "Flak Raft"![/p][p]This wasn't a ship; it was a sort of floating object packed with anti-aircraft weapons, suitable for defense in places where a real ship wasn't wanted.[/p][p][/p][p]Why did I include it in the game?[/p][p]Simple! Because it's strange and little-known, and I like atypical military vehicles![/p][p]In reality, it was a very slow vessel; in the game, it will be the same, but the armament will be modified so as not to render it useless outside of anti-aircraft combat.[/p][p][/p][p]What weapons will the Flak Raft have?[/p][p]It will have two quadruple 12.7 mm machine guns, with the ability to rotate downward to attack even water targets.[/p][p]There will also be two 88 mm anti-aircraft guns at the rear, equipped with proximity-fed ammunition, making them excellent for dealing aerial damage to swarms of flying enemies.[/p][p]Finally, there will be two more 88 mm forward guns, but this time with traditional ammunition, allowing the Flak Raft to counter naval enemies larger than a simple inflatable boat![/p][p][/p][p]I was thinking of removing the ballistic protection from the rear guns, so as to immediately indicate that they are intended for anti-aircraft use. What do you think?[/p][p][/p][p]The question is: how many crew members should we include?[/p][p]Given the symmetry of the armament, I'd consider two crew members, so everyone can use the weapon they want. What do you think?[/p][p][/p][p]Do you like this "ship"? How do you plan to use it in the game?[/p][p][/p][p]IMPORTANT: Using Unity 6, I had to, for various reasons, switch from built-in to URP (graphics stuff).[/p][p]This means the game should have slightly higher graphical quality, probably including better optimization of the graphics management. Unfortunately, due to compatibility issues, I have to redo some things from scratch, such as all the particle effects, which results in an uncalculated delay in development time... I assure you, it's more disappointing than it is for you! :D[/p][p][/p][p]See you at the next MEET, my friends![/p][p][/p][h3]THE ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG![/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
