Between the extra armour and the extra health, heavy barrels are almost 80% tougher than normal barrels... for a 3x increase in cost and a 2.5x increase in weight.

Oh jesus really? I didn't know it was that bad. I'd think that using one length of 4m heavy barrel end on the mantlet then using normal barrels from there would be worth it then, but that's dependent on the type of shell being used.

First they require a fuck ton of energy. Secondly the longer the tube is the more energy it uses and damage it does and the terminators increase damage by alot because they double the tube length. The other connectors do less damage but loses less damage over range , AND MAKE SURE TO NOT HAVE ANY OPEN TUBES OR YOU BLOW YOURSELF UP. They were the first weapon type i understood.

@crimzonplays1134 4 ай бұрын

Handy. I never made my turrets fully enclosed, just inside the hull, slighty widened for clearance, struggled to get clearance near the top below the cap leading to a more open deck and a heavily armored turret to cover the caps. Probably why My aps is always the first thing on the ship to get shot off in Adventure mode 😂

First few times I tried making turrets I accidentally built the turret caps into the deck which prevented the guns from turning. I also didn't know heavy armor wasn't supposed to be used so much (one of my turret designs has almost the entire inside filled with heavy armor beams, which I guess you could consider overkill).

I can attest to the importance of covering your mantlets, but I generally make somewhat large and more "realistic" turrets, full of GLORIOUS ANGLES - sharper than even what you show on your large caps. My turrret structures will be fairly large, but full of coolers/chargers and recoil compensators. All of the ammo goes down in the turret well, and I make fairly thick armored barbettes to protect the ammo racks and autoloaders. On my larger turrets, I've even taken to making armored platforms on the turret floors to separate the upper housing and the turret well.

i prefer to leave the AA mantlet exposed in my small turret cap design because in my opinion it looks better with my recreation of the turret cap of the Mark 45 naval gun as well as lets me clip a visual camera through it with an elevation turret so that i can have an internal bridge with gunner sight. i should state that i normally take designs with that turret cap out to fight ships that can one shot the turret cap by sneezing on it, so often it doesn't make a difference if i am relying more on active and passive defense systems as well as angling my "armor" more then the thickness of said armor.

There's always spinblock on spinblock shenanigans for detection hiding...but that ...what kind of cheese would that be? I like finding a middle ground between small and big tough turret caps. As tough as possible in as small as possible a package for a given turret. Though "bullpup"/inset firing pieces are necessary for railgun APS, cause the rails are expensive and you want to protect them, without making the whole thing look wonky.

@Gebunator 3 жыл бұрын

I swear block will obstruct elevation and AA mantlets if they are covering them. That's less of a problem for guns intended to hit ground/sea level targets though.. I also like big hunking turret caps and hide detection thingsi n there. Each bigger turret gotta have their own tracker and maybe even a rangefinger. Heck, if I feel particularly generous, I'll slap a wireless cam, hook it up to a screen in bridge/cockpit so I can see with a glance what is a turret doing (What do you mean tab exists for external camera?)

@zuthalsoraniz6764 3 жыл бұрын

Oh yeah, each turret gets a few detectors and possibly also trackers appropriate to what weapon it is/what it is targeting added to it, and ideally also enough internal GPP cards to run all of that.

@SuwinTzi 3 жыл бұрын

They don't. The barrels don't have collision against other blocks. The Gray Talon Kobold is a great example of this since it has barrels running the full length of the craft and is able to angle up and down just fine.

@Gebunator 3 жыл бұрын

@@SuwinTzi Huh, must have been my imagination. Sure, the barrels don't clip, but the elevation and AA mantlets seemed like they were limiting their arcs if they had blocks covering the up or down portion of the mantlets. If it was just my imagination, it means I can just a little bit more protection. Yay!

What are the benifits for the "moving" armor below deck? Speaking metal blocks on the subpart of the turret instead the hull? It Doesnt apeal to me since it only decreases the rotation speed as far as i can see. Apart when you want to face the heavyest part at the enemy.

@qw3rty629 3 жыл бұрын

having the turret armor on the hull usually lets the turret turn faster, but in turn having it on the subpart can let the armor move around i.e. if its getting shot from the back, hull attached armor cant do anything once it goes through, but turret attached can rotate the turret, effectively replacing the armor

@@qw3rty629 well, thats works the over way around too. Turrets aiming at one target, getting hit in the front, then turn to the next target and presenting the hole in the armor to the enemy...

@BorderWise12 3 жыл бұрын

There are multiple benefits to armouring your turrets: 1. It's a free-volume air gap, to stop HEAT ruining your day. 2. It makes it harder for the turret to be popped off completely, which costs the craft a large chunk of health. 3. For APS and PAC, it also acts as a buffer against their volatility, preventing a damaged weapon from further damaging the rest of the craft. Hull-mounted armour can do the same, but since it doesn't move with the turret it doesn't do it as well. All in all, I can safely say that craft with armoured internal turrets survive a lot better than those that don't. 👍

@Ally5141 3 жыл бұрын

@@Meister_Knobi the thing is, because of how subobjects in FtD work when shell hits top part of the turret explosion/fragmentation ignores the armor of main object which means unarmored magazines can get easily destroyed meaning one bigger hit can ammo rack your entire turret
