Description:

this ship is a companion to HMS Gull https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3030988011

Description
This is my war of 1812 brig rigged flagship HMS Kestrel! Inspired by real ships such as the USS Niagara and HMS Detroit that fought on lake Erie during the war. She is extremely optimised for great multiplayer performance and battles with multiple Kestrels out on the high seas is very fun with as low as 2-4 people. The guns are controlled in sets so each broadside is controlled with a single handle for ease of use and a good time fighting.

The Numbers
length: 43.75m
height: 35.75m (due to height use a modded workbench or mission editor to spawn)
width: 11.25m
armament: 14 battle cannon + frag rounds
crew 1-4 (can be crewed by a single person who is good at multitasking)

Startup Procedure
WASD on the helm its pretty simple
