Stabilized
The engines will stay at mid/high power without taking into account of batterie level or temperature.

You can turn the key to the right to enable gearbox. The ship will be faster but that speed will depend on the engines status. The batteries will decrease even if the engines are at full power.

Zoom on the target using the FOV throttle. You should see the target splitted in 2 misaligned image. Then use the angle throttle to align the two image of the target. When aligned, look at the displayed range.

The range finder camera have a single-plane stabilizer.

History

Since the update 1.1.2 and the arrival of the modular engines, the French Navy has sought to develop a new light cruiser to replace the previous aging models.

The development of the CL4 began some time later with the objective of creating a boat capable of resisting Megalodon attacks and future weapons. Indeed, rumors about a Weapon DLC project pushed the government to develop a more resistant ship in anticipation of new weapons. "If the ship can survive multiple Megalodon attacks, it should survive future projectiles." – someone important.

During performance tests on the high seas, the boat was surprised by the repeated attacks of a Megalodon. But despite a dozen hits and a fire in the engine compartment, the boat stayed afloat and managed to return to port by itself. Later, during new tests, a navigation error caused the boat to go over a bridge before falling back into the sea. This incident caused heavy damage to the hull and a fire. By the time the crew recovered, the fire had spread and the ship lost control. However, the crew managed to extinguish the fire before the ship could sink. After towing the ship back to port, it was repaired. These events allowed him to obtain the reputation of "immortal".

Notes
  • Avoid large wave as this ship isn’t stabilized and will tilt a lot.
