GX - Rheinmetall Skyshield

Description


Information
Hello everyone!

I present to you the "Rheinmetall Skyshield" aka "Oerlikon Skyshield" anti-aircraft system. This platform has been used in various ways over the years both stationary like this but also mounted on vehicles. If you wish to learn more then check out the wiki here[en.wikipedia.org].
This was again a small passion project for me which was actually born from me looking into creating a KF-51, so one could argue i got sidetracked.... :)

Anyways, i hope you enjoy and as always, feel free to leave feedback in the comments below.

What it contains
This mod contains the stationary Rheinmetall Skyshield system. The turret comes in 3 colors, Green, Grey and Desert. The weapon on this gun sports a 35 mm cannon which fires approximately a 1000 rounds per minute.

The different color schemes can be accessed through the garage system in the editor or through Zeus.

Example:




I have also been working on creating more small details and so this system also features a heat blur effect for when and shortly after the gun has fired.

"GX_Skyshield_E" (default)
"GX_Skyshield_desert_E" (new)
"GX_Skyshield_green_E" (new)
"GX_Skyshield_grey_E" (new)

Can I use it with AMS system and add to it animated recoil of barell and make it as UAV unit not person turret? (this is automated system not manned so it should be like that), and why it have some problems with spawn in correct height on map (no land contact LOD or something?) if you are interested to improove it to make it possibile to do this https://youtu.be/qdSO5Czeh3U contact me
