Big Bertha & Little David - Not Working.
I'll keep this short, basically Big Bertha and Little David aren't working. I set up a weapons testing facility to test the impact, damage, blast radius, etc. of the weapons and Big Bertha and Little David refused to fire. Both were loaded with the proper ammunition and had power and room to fire. The shells were being used up by the guns when using either the manual "shoot once" in the control or by turning on shooting mode; neither indicated any effect of operation otherwise.


Really dissappointing too, Big Bertha looks like it could do some serious damage.:steamsad:
Other weapons tested all worked without problem, haven't been through them all though.
If any more info is needed let me know.:steamhappy:

After more testing today, Big Bertha is firing, but compared to the weapon's size the crater is pitifully small and sometimes there is about ~30 sec gap between firing and impact (target <250m away).

I can confirm that they are both working in Creative and Survival.

This was the setup I used:

This is the target destruction in creative mode:

And again in survival mode.

You can see the two impact craters penetrating the heavy armor, left is BB and right is LD.

I watched all projectiles travel from the barrel of the gun to the target and there was no delay between when the shot reached the target and the impact explosion.

I cannot speak to weapons deforming voxels, but it seems that they always do less damage than one would think they should.

Ive found that they do work in single player, but not in multiplayer. the rest of the weapons have no issues whatsoever as far as i can tell.
