The one who came up with the built-in wireless receiver and failsafe into CIW and local weapon controllers is a genius. So much free space now to add other things needed.

[@keegans5695]

The all in ones have gotten me to move most of my controllers onto my turrets actually. Makes it much easier to plop them where needed.

[@MrAccount117]

Agreed, very worth the extra little cost!

[@revengefullobster4524]

I like the belt feds b/c of speed. If you set reload times a bit shorter (15 sec) they work pretty well. Also visible tracers help with targetting. Good vid!

[@BorderWise12]

Thank you! We'll probably talk about tracers and belt-feds in more detail in another video. 😁

[@lagrangepoint9386]

@@BorderWise12 Bit late to the party, but I also want to raise my hand in support of beltfed loaders. I made a CIWS for my in-progress ship that fires 72mm shells at 1248 m/s and 970.5 RPM. The capacity is 972, so it can rip for a straight minute without stopping. It's not a small thingy (9x9, 12 blocks tall), but with an additional weapon controller four of them can cripple the Tyr! It's honestly nuts, and wouldn't be possible without beltfeds and tracers :D

[@tytonovaehollandiae1278]

Beltfed 30mm Rail CWIS is the way to go. My CIWS turret can shoot down 4-6 Iron Cordon missiles while taking up much less volume than the one shown in the video. It costs 12958 materials. However it is not designed for continuous fire, but to shoot down groups of enemy missiles. It even works great against swarms of small missiles. The belt fed autoloaders have a 3 second time before reloading so it is almost always reloading between attacks keeping the ammo clips full.

[@minimoto5971]

where is link to steam workshop? Dont talk so much, show more

[@chickenpurple6704]

@@minimoto5971 just make a belt fed 30mm? It's not that complicated.

[@rafaelsousa5]

Ha good old CIWS, I find a mix of Kinetic and Flak is best, Kinetic for M and above and Flak for S missiles, and the new rule sets make having them actually be effective a lot easier if only the default one did not suck, it's been the main problem with making weapon systems work lately, hopefully LWC gets a similar treatment, or at least the option to make every individual turret fire at different spots on the same craft even if they are in the same AI. My favorite is probably my little 63 block Kinetic CIWS unit for my armored forces.

[@rodrigojpf]

Thanks a lot. I've learned so much with you and this is something that I really wanted to know... like targeting only crams or missiles, stuff like that. Now I can use CWIS controlers on my missile defence batteries insted of ACBs :D Sorry for not subscribing but I'm unemployed right now after 2 burn outs... So lots of time to play. And most of what I know is because of you. BTW. the 30mm simple gun is a BEAST as a CWIS... I tend to place them mostly in my small crafts, but also in the big ones as CWIS support. BTW.... for when a Bread board and LUA tutorials? That's my next step. Or if you don't know LUA, a tutorial pointing where we can learn it would do, and some examples.

CIWs has been a trouble for me so thank you for the video!

[@BorderWise12]

You're welcome!

[@Chu2byouBoy]

Yes the video I needed. My CIWS always sucked, even after watching ya old CIWS videos xP

[@BorderWise12]

Did I even make anything on CIWS before? I honestly don't remember. 😅

[@Chu2byouBoy]

@@BorderWise12 yes it was a Anti CRAM CIWS Video

[@hypernovamkvi715]

spent three hours building a nasty cwis system last week i wish i had this sooner. that cwis system is about to get even nastier

[@vaelophisnyx9873]

wonder if particle cannon CIWS works

[@daburrito5296]

I think the only useful application for that would be anti-CRAM or against huge missiles

[@theapexdragon5010]

Fafafafafafafafafa fooooooooooooooooooom

[@LH-gt6gz]

i thought it was tested a while ago, with the result being that pac beams cant hit projectiles.

[@BorderWise12]

They can't, unfortunately.

[@daburrito5296]

@@BorderWise12 damn, that's unfortunate. I would have loved to watch a PAC CIWS smack CRAMs out of the air.

"you usually put CIWS on larger crafts" my FFNF Marceau DBG-240: ya sure bout dat boi? she is planned to have 2-4 80mm/100mm CIWS and also Missile Interceptors... she is supposed to be an escort ship

[@pauloalmeida4492]

I remember being able to use the same weapon both as CIWS and AAA before this patch. Doesn't seem possible now...

[@jonathanoriley8260]

i believe you need to add an additional standard weapon controller along with the CIWS controller

[@Attaxalotl]

You cannot use particle cannons for CIWS. I’ve tried and asked.

[@Uthael_Kileanea]

12:01 - Does that work only with kinetic projectiles or with EMP and explosive, too?

[@BorderWise12]

Yup. All damaged projectiles do less damage. 👍

[@Dave_Kerman]

My cwis shoots incoming projectiles too late, even tho I have tonnes of projectiile detectors and also made sure that the range at which my cwis can shoot is far. How can I fix this?

[@BorderWise12]

Without actually seeing your CIWS settings: It depends on what's coming at you. Smaller projectiles and CRAMs with flash suppressors get detected at shorter ranges. For countering radar-guided missiles, always make sure to have passive radars., 'cos it lets you spot them from huge distances.

[@crimzonplays1134]

The settings Work for Aps, sadly not for simple weapon CIWS as Far as I can tell

[@crunchymix]

I have good fire rate CIWS but it won’t smart enough to hit missile on 500m range which is become worthless expensive system.

[@whwhwhhwhhhwhdldkjdsnsjsks6544]

A decent shell design should be able to. 14 gunpowder casings, a base bleeder, 4 solid bodies and a heavy head should be fine with some of the loaders firing shells with a visible tracer instead of base bleeder.

[@rodrigojpf]

Btw, I'm doing a Medium missile launcher anti torp. how do I set it to shot only at large and huge torps? I already have a set of anti torps for medium and small torps.

[@BorderWise12]

Use the 'ignore inside' or 'ignore outside' values to only target projectiles above a certain diameter. 👍

[@rodrigojpf]

@@BorderWise12 Thanks... but where do I see the missile diameters? :D Crams and APS is easy but never figured out about missiles.

[@KampfTomate007]

@@rodrigojpf I assume you already know by now, but thought i mention it anyway just in case: Missile diameters are as follows: S - 250 mm M - 500 mm L - 1.000 mm H - 2.000 mm

[@lagrangepoint9386]

@@rodrigojpf The tooltip, lad.

[@rogerrabbit2913]

Can you do an aps tutorial on how to increase fire rate?

[@BorderWise12]

That's pretty much covered by the ones I've made already? More loaders, inputs and cooling, make sure all the numbers are balanced.

[@KampfTomate007]

Aside from making the gun bigger you can also either reduce shell gauge and/or length, eg use a 50x1000mm instead of a 100x2000mm round to get like around 400% as many rounds per minute, or you can use shells that rely more on casings, eg if the old values of 25% for ammo cost and reload time increasement of regular modules are still up to date then a 50x1000mm shell with 4 shell body modules and 16 casings will fire as quickly as a shell with 4 + (16/4)=8 regular module shell without casings. So in general you usually want as many casings as possible to get as much shell speed and ammo efficiency per shell, although you can still use rail draw to increase larger slugs with less or no GP, but usually it seems to be most ammo efficient to use as many GP casings as possible and then if you need more speed or more payload you add rail draw to compensate for the GP casings you are trading in.

Even with your entire tutorial Followed to the letter, I cant get it to hit missles, it does NOTHING haha, I'll figure it out. might be an issue with the gun itself not the ai infolved

[@dnawolf8789]

hey ftdp comunity can anyone pass me a setting on an aps cwis system that only shoot down enemy aps shells and crams? mines only targets rocket

[@BorderWise12]

CIWS can't aim at APS shells anyway. What you're describing is basically a LAMS with the nodes set to target only shells.
