Playable Ships

[Ham920]

I’ve seen all these “playable” mods but I don’t think I understand how to use them or to what extent they can be used. Can they only be used in certain versions of the game such as 1.5; are they used to build new scenarios around them; can you actually fire the large turret guns of some of the battleships? I’ve downloaded some of them looking for direction but I’m still lost relative to their use. I’ve searched the forum but haven’t been able to find answers to these questions. Can someone explain how to use these playable mods? I think they’re fascinating, but I’m lost relative to how to work with them. Thanks in advance to all you modders.
