MOD BROKEN: The GAU-8 has no inventory space so no ammo can be fed and there is no fire control making this mod completely broken.
RaiderLeader666 19 Aug, 2024 @ 3:45pm 
Dead modder. dude does nothing anymore.
johnny33445566 2 Jun, 2024 @ 1:22pm 
can you maker this to be standalone? it currently does not work in custom turret controllers
Apollo Norm 11 Feb, 2024 @ 2:38pm 
please transfer to new weaponcore
Katarina [WolfCraft Industries] 10 Feb, 2024 @ 7:36am 
the original creator of the WeaponCore mod recently retired but a replacement is already out. the only thing you would have to do is to list the new WeaponCore as a dependency and remove the old and retired one. thank you in advance <3

I put 5 of these on my strike aircraft and they shred other fighters and drones out of the sky. I modified a custom chain gun turret and changed it around to fire this gun. :D

I also was a bit disappointed that there isn't a non-WC version of this mod, because it looks like you've done fantastic work, but for those others who don't want to use WC, I'd like to recommend this mod...

@Blue Lλmbda
outgoing from my own experience i had so far more worldcorruptions by updates of se itself than by modusage or modupdates.

its allways possible you are finding a modconflict or catch file corruption on either game or modside which then in return can result in a world corruption as a possible worst case scenario.

what makes you think that wc is currently very broken?
Blue Lλmbda 20 Mar, 2023 @ 9:12pm 
Please make a non weapon core version. weapon core as of currently is very broken and causing world corruptions for a lot of people
That Bro Dad 27 Sep, 2022 @ 8:10am 
This is fantastic! It's exactly what I've been looking for to use in some of my more modern/realistic builds.

Do you have concerns about me including it in some of my workshop stuff?

I will credit you of course.

Here is an example that would be much cooler with your GAU-8

Nick The Duck King 17 Jun, 2022 @ 8:26pm 
is there one that doesn't use weapon core?
MachoNatchoMan 15 Mar, 2022 @ 8:50am 
@GamingFloid
to clarify, if you want more than one set of weapons separately available to fire separately of each other on mouseclick
MachoNatchoMan 15 Mar, 2022 @ 8:47am 
@GamingFloid
the exact feature you are looking for isn't a thing with weapon made for weaponcore sadly, i myself prefer that method as it's just simple and what most are used to but just isn't a thing, you can still get stuff to fire on mouse click but it's a wee bit funky sometimes and get s much funkier and/or clunkier if you want more than 1 selection of weapons available

read up on the weaponcore wiki or find a tutorial video if need be, otherwise don't use weaponcore weapons :/
MachoNatchoMan 15 Mar, 2022 @ 8:47am 
heyo, iv'e tested these beauts in-game and i absolutely love the way they sound and just about everything about this piece of art, the one thing i have a gripe about though, this thing TEARS through light armor absolutely LOVELY like.. but.. it is just straight up useless against any large grid armor blocks, iv\e tested light and heavy and isn\t even worth a slightest though in a real situation and i suspect they would even struggle a bit against large grid light armor slabs.. is there a chance of having an alternate version of this mod where it is usable against large grid?

either that or is there a way that i could edit the damage values of this mod against large grid myself and have that serverside like in config files so to avoid updates reverting damage and so on. any help would be greatly appreciated as your mod is by far the best small grid gatling mod iv'e found in every way (almost every way ;q)

if it's just a bug then nevermind i guess.
AceTheShepVR 15 Feb, 2022 @ 1:39pm 
it isn't showing up in my build menu, any fix for this?
GamingFloid 9 Feb, 2022 @ 11:09am 
Would you consider to update this awesom mod for turret control ? New turret control blocks cant find the Gau-8 cannon as a usable weapon/tool.
Would love to build a Phalanx Point defens turret ^^
Kal Skirata 28 Dec, 2021 @ 4:52am 
you got any plans on making a turret version of this?

Would make for some nice bombardm- I mean.. "point defense systems"
CragFromIT 25 Nov, 2021 @ 1:08pm 
Does anyone know a fix for not being able to load ammo into the guns?
Fox 6 Oct, 2021 @ 11:36pm 
what is the projectile speed
Quentin 20 Jun, 2021 @ 10:11am 
@viper yes it does.
Viper 19 Jun, 2021 @ 8:50am 
does this gun employ the overheating mechanic?
Fullercloth2201 13 Jun, 2021 @ 2:22am 
could you make the colour the normal colour
Fullercloth2201 12 Jun, 2021 @ 5:51pm 
thank you so much

That moment when you decide your gun needs wings, and thus add a plane to it.
★➽AminoAcids➽★ 21 Apr, 2021 @ 1:51pm 
when will a new model for this be created?
Mercair 21 Apr, 2021 @ 9:29am 
@Vip3r07 if you want to make a smoother a-10 this mod works :)

Nipplelion Bonerparty try running a camera as the weapon if you're using MART. The scripts don't seem to like the way that the guns are set up with weaponcore.

Average Schizo 24 Mar, 2021 @ 8:50pm 
@Sigmund Froid when i try to make a rotary turret using that script, the programmable block says "NO WEAPONS FOUND" even with them in the same group?
gorkin my geanits 23 Feb, 2021 @ 11:29am 
Does anyone have the muzzle velocity of the cannon?
Dziwo 17 Feb, 2021 @ 1:07pm 
This is fun as hell, but if anyone want a more balanced version of this I recommend the 30mm rotary cannon from NorthWind weapons, comes with CIWS turret too.
maxipuch92 13 Feb, 2021 @ 1:29pm 
We need a large Block version added to the mod🤩
Tutel! 27 Jan, 2021 @ 12:00pm 
Can you put the A-10 craft file into the description?
ExGold 19 Jan, 2021 @ 5:06am 
What's the effective range of fire?
In my survival it seems around 1.5-1.8 kilometers.
BeanoNoir 7 Jan, 2021 @ 12:55am 
You could get together with AWG to add a model and recoil, since you already have this working with weaponcore. He already has the Russian GSh-6 30mm, but the GAU-8 is physically longer still, and fires a more powerful munition with longer range. The thing that makes his mods awesome is the recoil. Put the gun on too small of a ship and SKY every time you pull the trigger lol. I'm sure you could do it yourself as well, he just has a lot of experience getting the scales right for the models.
Rebelion1God 19 Dec, 2020 @ 4:07am 
JESUS that sounds so op
BinaryKiller Recoded 8 Dec, 2020 @ 8:02am 
Finally!!! Can build CIW-S turrets :D
PANZER 2 Dec, 2020 @ 9:02pm 
This is a fun mod, you did a good job. The model really needs to be much bigger than it is, the a10 was built around the gun and we should have to do the same to justify how strong it is. Though it is is hilarious to watch 4 of them on a tiny ship melt large grids.
Ace781 15 Nov, 2020 @ 12:17am 
any way of making the barrel longer or changing the sound of the RB Gatling Cannon to better fit the length of the GAU 8 scale/length ?

awesome work btw and the sound is spot on for what a minigun should be
Kapyt 21 Oct, 2020 @ 2:17am 
Thank you very much!!
Sigmund Froid 20 Oct, 2020 @ 3:03pm 
@КАМЕРУ ВЫРУБАЙ НА I made a replacement for Whip's Script (at least for WC): https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2206710240 However if you'd want to know what R.S.V.R was referring to you can put a rc on the elevation grid with a gyro and turn the rotors of and control the turret by controlling the remote.
Kapyt 20 Oct, 2020 @ 2:01pm 
R.S.V.R, u write that u know how to fix the bug with Whip's Rotor Turrets, can u please tell how?
SapientSheep 14 Oct, 2020 @ 9:36am 
What mod do the missiles in the video come from?
Nick The Duck King 13 Sep, 2020 @ 6:04pm 
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT
Nehtiyalyr 4 Sep, 2020 @ 10:30pm 
And one question, someone know the mod to get the same crosshair from the video?
Nehtiyalyr 4 Sep, 2020 @ 10:24pm 
@Maz Hatter I was having problems too, what I did was create a group with the guns, put the group on the toolbar and selected the last option "toggle click to fire"... to use simply select the number and click, it worked to me...
Sigmund Froid 4 Sep, 2020 @ 3:38am 
@Wortho I really like this mod. I'm using it for some of my rotor turret designs, however the explosions cause a lot of lag when up close.
Tiberius Lycaon 25 Aug, 2020 @ 8:10pm 
How fast do the rounds go?
Maz Hatter 23 Aug, 2020 @ 6:43pm 
I'm having some trouble getting the cannon to actually let me fire it. When i move it to my toolbar, it doesn't give me any options for shooting at all. It only gives me the usual options for toolbar stuff, as well as "Drain All On/Off." Furthermore, i can't seem to get weaponcore to recognize this cannon is even on my ship. Any help would be appreciated. This looks like an amazing mod and i really want to use it.
