ajmarston, oh gotcha!
Well they have icons visible on the map but also I provided a map above in the screenshots.
Hope that helps!
ajmarston 27 Mar @ 1:29am 
what i mean is were are locations from A-H on the artlillery battery
Shad0w_real 26 Mar @ 4:39pm 
Ok, thank you very much!
GERUNIMO  [author] 26 Mar @ 1:29pm 
ajmarston; Howdy, I don't really understand your question. Static/Environment objects don't require electricity (besides a source) they use infinite electricity by default.
What do you mean by; "like a to H"?

Shad0w_real, if you want to post your work I don't mind you reusing my stuff, I don't really get 'bent out of shape about that'.
As to the gun itself, (timer permitting) I can try and remove it for you but I designed it specifically for the purpose it is currently used.
Re-engineering it to be a solitary gun platform might take some time to do, but I can try.
Shad0w_real 26 Mar @ 12:00pm 
I just really like the gun, I tried removing the bunker myself but I couldn't figure out how to remove it and still keep the gun functional, also just a FYI I never planned to release anything with the gun, I was tho hoping to put it onto some of my own creations (not to be posted on workshop)
ajmarston 26 Mar @ 11:12am 
were are all the batterys?(like a to H
GERUNIMO  [author] 26 Mar @ 1:34am 
Shad0w_real, I suppose so.
The problem is that it uses the bunker to hide/contain its ammunition stores, also these particular weapons were land based in fortified positions.
I'm curious, what would you need such a weapon for without the bunker?
Shad0w_real 24 Mar @ 2:15pm 
Could you make a creation with just the gun and without the bunker?
GERUNIMO  [author] 13 Mar @ 10:39am 
tinath64, yes.
It is an 'Addon', so you can check the box for it in the addon list when you start a new game.
Hope that helps, have fun!
tinath64 12 Mar @ 2:52pm 
is there a way to pawn all of the at the same time?
GERUNIMO  [author] 13 Nov, 2024 @ 8:40am 
Mr.Timéo, glad you fixed it! Have fun!
Mr.Timéo 13 Nov, 2024 @ 7:04am 
nevermind, i fixed it because i always put inf ammo by accident! :steamthumbsup:
Mr.Timéo 13 Nov, 2024 @ 6:51am 
when i hold the key of the breech to open it it doesn't work?
ChewyBlaster 2 Nov, 2024 @ 11:11am 
thanks
GERUNIMO  [author] 1 Nov, 2024 @ 1:45pm 
ChewyBlaster, second room down the hall on the right, the doors are all labeled.
Hope that helps!
ChewyBlaster 31 Oct, 2024 @ 2:52pm 
I can't find the orderly room.
GERUNIMO  [author] 3 Oct, 2024 @ 8:43am 
ShadowLord_45, glad you figured it out!
I'm curious, what was it you did to fix it?
ShadowLord_45 2 Oct, 2024 @ 3:36pm 
Quick update, I was able to fix the problem, thanks so much for the advice!
ShadowLord_45 2 Oct, 2024 @ 1:46pm 
I did point the gun towards the target and I fired it several times, but the scribe just stood there doing nothing the entire time. Is there a way to mark a target for the scribe?
GERUNIMO  [author] 2 Oct, 2024 @ 10:03am 
ShadowLord_45, sorry you are having trouble.
Are you pointing the gun (you don't have to raise it) towards the target?
The "Scribe" uses direct beam radar ranging to determine target distance, if there is no target present and the gun isn't facing the direction of the target the Scribe won't write a range on the chalk board.
Keep in mind also that he updates the range every so often, and not constantly.
Hope that helps, let me know if you have further trouble.
ShadowLord_45 1 Oct, 2024 @ 7:06pm 
The range scribe isn't doing anything, even when I have the Fire Control Direct phone enabled and infinite ammo off
GERUNIMO  [author] 11 Sep, 2024 @ 2:00am 
ieatdonutsfordinnerrr, sorry you are having trouble.
Do you have the "Magazine Elevator" breaker on and the gun breech open?
Also, insure you have 'infinite ammo' turned off in your options screen.
M109A3 Howitzer 10 Sep, 2024 @ 10:43pm 
the ammo cart isnt appearing
GERUNIMO  [author] 10 Jul, 2024 @ 10:07am 
ghullison, sorry you're having trouble.
You can either spawn them in individually as a mission or load in them in at the start of a new game via the 'addon' menu.
Once you've done they should be visible on the map, provided you used the addon menu.
Otherwise if you're spawning them individually use the map above.
Hope that helps!
prob not two squid in trenchcoat 10 Jul, 2024 @ 7:48am 
i am unable to find them
Misery 27 Jun, 2024 @ 2:59pm 
no thanks im good without it it looks perfect
GERUNIMO  [author] 27 Jun, 2024 @ 9:07am 
Misery, sorry you are having trouble.
Can you explain why you are having trouble? Maybe we can get you going.
Misery 26 Jun, 2024 @ 11:33am 
very cool i injoy it but i cant fire it but i see that alot of people use it good job
GERUNIMO  [author] 12 Dec, 2023 @ 3:22pm 
Theoddball972, sorry your have trouble. The scope does not adjust along the vertical/ranging axis. Ranging is gained via the information provided by the Range Scribe. Who in turn (in the real world) would have received that information from Spotting Emplacements/Towers.

Granted, his range data isn't always the most accurate based on how the game handles ranging data from radar. But it is accurate enough to get you close, at which point you can start "bracketing" you target. By firing rounds long, then short, and progressively narrowing the actual range down to a hit.

Sounds complex, but it's easier then you think and also accurate to how real artillery operates, even today.

Hope that helps!
Theoddball972 11 Dec, 2023 @ 2:55pm 
Good mod, but I can't get the vertical aiming system to work in my favor. Could you add a telescope to the lower part of the cannon so it is easier to see if I am on target vertically?
GERUNIMO  [author] 28 Sep, 2023 @ 9:59pm 
starbuckcolin, glad you got yourself fixed up! Also very glad you are enjoying it!
Have a nice day!
starbuckcolin 28 Sep, 2023 @ 7:01pm 
also really like this addon. great job man.
starbuckcolin 28 Sep, 2023 @ 6:07pm 
my physics was indeed set to low. thank you very much
GERUNIMO  [author] 27 Sep, 2023 @ 2:49am 
starbuckcolin, sorry you're again having trouble. My initial guess is your physics is set to 'low', try 'medium', or preferably 'high'.
Hope that helps!
starbuckcolin 25 Sep, 2023 @ 3:09pm 
apparently the counterweight only really trips when I am on the ladder leading up to the platform..?
starbuckcolin 25 Sep, 2023 @ 3:02pm 
ok so, it seems at random times, it appears to either not fully load OR the counterweight just doesn't really want to flip but after a bit it ends up working
GERUNIMO  [author] 24 Sep, 2023 @ 10:52pm 
starbuckcolin, glad you figured it out.
Let me know if you have further troubles.
ENJOY!
starbuckcolin 24 Sep, 2023 @ 7:40pm 
nvm I got it to work somehow
starbuckcolin 24 Sep, 2023 @ 7:31pm 
oh also the counterweight release stuff doesn't quite want to work
starbuckcolin 24 Sep, 2023 @ 7:24pm 
I keep using the firing dynamo but it just doesn't fire and I followed all the instructions. I have search and destroy
MK18Enjoyer 31 Aug, 2023 @ 11:04am 
Gerunimo, ahhh okay. that'll explain why I can't fire it lmao
GERUNIMO  [author] 30 Aug, 2023 @ 7:04pm 
charliedknight3121, sure is.
MK18Enjoyer 29 Aug, 2023 @ 1:41pm 
Wait, is the search and destroy DLC required?
MK18Enjoyer 29 Aug, 2023 @ 1:36pm 
Gerunimo, I'll have a look for it, I was probably just being blind..
GERUNIMO  [author] 28 Aug, 2023 @ 9:33am 
charliedknight3121, thank you for the nice comment and I'm sorry you're having trouble.
Can you identify the 'Electrical Firing Dynamo' in the screenshots? That's why fires the gun.

Hope that helps!
MK18Enjoyer 28 Aug, 2023 @ 7:17am 
Gerunimo, ah okay.
It's cool decoration though.

When it was my first time using it I spe like 5 minutes thinking the ammo cart was in it then when I got back to the surface I got jump scared by the man 🤣

Hopefully my last question, how do I fire it exactly?
I'm not that smart when it comes to this stuff heh..
GERUNIMO  [author] 22 Aug, 2023 @ 3:37am 
charliedknight3121, nope sorry. Didn't really see a need to be in there. I'm not proud of it, its the first time I've ever blocked the player from going somewhere in a build I made. :steamsad:
MK18Enjoyer 21 Aug, 2023 @ 11:26pm 
Geronimo, sure will!
Is there a way to open the like gated door thing in the bunker?
GERUNIMO  [author] 20 Aug, 2023 @ 11:00pm 
charliedknight3121, awesome! Glad you figured it out!
Have fun!
MK18Enjoyer 18 Aug, 2023 @ 5:39am 
GERUNIMO, don't worry. I found out.
