Capital Ship Weaponry

rada660 Ok I understand that you want to keep a slow firerate, but you said you want a really powerful Alpha strike? If so, you should increase load time even more and make it do massive damage, with the user knowing that the downside is that it takes forever to reload. If you do plan to do this it would probably make sense to make each shot take 2 ammo to fill a single barrel, cause right now you don't even quite need 2 ammo factories to keep up with it and that just feels... wrong. These are supposed to be massive bullets with lots of explosive powder! Meanwhile, I might play around with balancing it but instead of a slower rate of fire, i'll play with a faster one 🙂

Jakeblake well, I did increased the firepower on them, even made the shell speed faster by 5, and it is not shown graphically, but they do use 4 ammo per shots.

The 3500mm cannon doesn't really look like a 3.5m diameter barrel, just something I noticed.

Please try make weapons as fast as you can because this mod is awesome. Add something like a constantly-firing quad cannon and maybe a massive cannon, with a real fat barrel that shoots massive bullets. It won't have a very big explosion radius but will have very high penetration.

The Quad cannons have such long barrels and are of a large caliber but I find they're armor penetrative capabilities to be somewhat lacking. Also, since these guns are so large, they should require more than just one unit of cannon ammo per individual gun barrel. I mean, the name says 3500mm or 350 cm (in diameter)! The larger ammo requirement would also support the need for the long intervals between firing. Anyways, I love this mod and can't wait to see what else you add!

TurboTwinky28 i think it could have it's own factory

Jakeblake

TurboTwinky28 It actually requiers 4 ammo for every shot its not shown but its in the code

derpy2point0 That wouldn't make sense because all ammo is is shell parts and gunpowder, so all cannons should still use the same type of ammo

TurboTwinky28

Jakeblake wait, does that mean each INDIVIDUAL gun barrel need 4, as in 16 units of ammo per barrage (i say individual since each gun unit has 4 barrels)? or does it only require 4 units per barrage?

Jakeblake i meant it would need a factory that makes really large shells cuz its such a large cannon
