this doesn't seem to have sound or recoil for me with weapon core. it used to make my artillery gun do a backflip and now it just... nyooms off into the distance, silently

Curious question, are your weapons Weapon Core safe?

This gun is marvelous!!! it fit perfectly on my wh40k basilisk-style SPG
But I have some questions : how the shell path is calculated? And is there a variable or bool for reloading? I'm working on a small artillery program, so i need to know the firing range for the elevation angle (the reloading var is for a light that will change when ready (or not) to fire)
BTW, firing this gun NEED landing gear, cause it's too strong for 40t wheeled vehicle

You load the shells into the /barrel/, I tried to make the breech act like a container but sadly this did not pan out the way I wanted it to. Think of the breech like a big conveyor port for the barrel.

Currently have an issue. I can't load shells into the breech. Says the breech has 0.00 / 0.00 L. I have tried everything to find a way to load the breech. Building up new, grinding down and rewelding. Nothing. I have to manually load into the cannon itself for it to work.

1. Can't help but imagine this sorta thing happening: "comrade, why are our tanks not firing?"
"THEY INSTALLED THE CANNON BACKWARDS!"

2. Perhaps that is the maximum hardcoded range for this gun? Who knows? The description says that the maximum range is 5km, after all.

So only 2 points of concern.
1. You can actually place the barrel backwards on the breech which can cause a hilarious and possibly annoying backfire from it firing into the breech and exploding.

2. On a vanilla earth like planet I set the cannon up to fire at a 45 degree angle (which should give max possible distance correct??) and test fired it to see just how far the cannon can actually reach. Sadly my test stopped at ~8.12km due to the shell detonating mid flight. Is there a cause for this?

My Basilisk thanks you for a gun finally big enough for it. The hit detection issues seem to be a thing with every explosive weapon, not just this. Don't really know what can be done about it though.

Ah yes the good o'l 8 inch howitzer, now only if we had the ability to make proper nuclear explosion effects so one could per say make a tactical nuclear device that could be fired from such a gun.

1.From what I understand SE's explosion radius is not a full circle because of volumetric explosion and if you referring to explosion destroys everything even if they are on edge of explosion radius that's actually a long term bug that have not been fixed with the penetration script, sometimes it works properly but other times explosions just do nothing or destroys everything with even 1 damage. Not sure what cause it.

2. Explosion force is tied dead to explosion damage in the base game, doubt you can do anything about it within the script.

Hey, I am trying to make an improved version of this gun, but I have two questions that need your help now.
1.Splash attenuation.Obviously, the actual effective range of blast damage is very different from the range I set. I don't know if you have a clue about the relationship between the Explosion Radius of the explosion and the damage attenuation in SE.

2.Impact.The impact generated by direct or indirect hits will push the target of 80 tons to tens or even hundreds of meters.And I just want to cause damage and a slight physical impact on the target in the range, instead of causing a terrible thrust like a catapult.

nice gun, like the good size and t u b e

I SHALL USE IT AS LEGS!!!!

I see, I will try to verify more when I have time.

The shell explodes again after impact, as is described in the post. This doesn't happen when hitting voxels. I did not hear about that.

Very tough artillery, the size of the gun used to build the artillery looks more natural than the 183 (183 is too long).

Speaking of the 203mm gun, I don't know if you have heard of the recent Russian re-enablement of the Soviet 2S7's 2A44 L59 203mm howitzer.After modernization, its rate of fire can reach 2.5 to 4 rounds per minute.But I am worried that this level of artillery will not become too big in your multi-part guns (in fact, the volume of 183 and L1A1 is much larger than the historical one)

Then I want to ask, what changes have been made to your new HE mechanism when it is not directly hit?It seems that the damage effect when not directly hit seems to be worse.

i just done making FV 183 gun MBT now i guess i need to work again...
