In Big Gun R/C Warship Combat, captains from around the world build, fight, and sink R/C scale model warships. Models are armed with CO2-powered cannons that blast steel ball bearings into their enemies. Any ship laid down from 1900 - 1946 can be modeled for play. These real fighting models are built to 1/144 scale, so the average battleship measures between 5 and 6 feet long! Armor thickness and gun calibers vary depending on what the prototype carried. Water pumps are used to control battle damage. As long as your model can pump the water overboard, all is fine. But, when the water rushes in faster than the pump can handle, you have two choices; get your ship to port or sink!

The I-400 successfully evaded Scheer and returned to port. Admiral Scheer fired several broadsides at the sub along the way, but none of them hit.
