***************************
The Arctor USS Monitor.
***************************

The USS Monitor was the first Union ironclad built in the American Civil war, designed to be a counter measure to the CSS Virginia which the Confederates were constructing to break the Union blockade. It was a radical design with it's spinning turret and despite it being much smaller than the Virginia it proved to be a match for it.

Fully sculpted and custom textured hull and turret, meticulously reconstructed from plans and photos of the original. This ship is the product of extensive research to ensure accuracy from the dimensions of the ship, angles and curves of the side and functionality of the turret. which uses a smooth multi-frame rotation animation. The finished result is the most accurate ironclad reproduction ever created in SL.

It has a 1000 core, Twin heavy cannons and a medium Ram.

The HUD uses analogue dials for aiming, faster and lower lag than wedges, and far more accurate, as you can turn to absolutely any angle at all with incredible precision. The turret uses a smooth animation for the rotation.

The gunner and captain are both positioned in the main turret giving excellent point of view for the most accurate aiming.

The HUD provides advanced camera control, with follow cam modes and full rotation, allowing you to look in any direction, or to lock your view to where the turret is aiming.

The entire HUD uses only a single script, and in the boat, the weapons are all turned and fired by a single script, which also deals with damage effects, float text, ammo, and all other combat functions. This greatly reduced script load on the server and reduces lag dramatically, particularly as Link Messages are kept to a minimum which reduces lag.

The Canopy can be stowed for battle using a switch on the HUD
