For small chemical shells only Autoloader has 2 benefits. No ejectors needed since the explosion won’t chain react. Changing shells mid battle is much faster. Otherwise like you said clips are better.

Haha yeah everything has a niche use, I do hope however that someone that makes a system for changing shell mid battle won't need a basic aps tetris tutorial XD I do think I prefer just mixed ammo in these cases anyways, but maybe I'm just lazy

@@GMODISMchanging ammo mid battle seems like such an overkill in design. It just seems like something I'd make only to prove to myself that I can do that. For basic effectiveness I'd definitely just use a separate cannon for a separate shell.

I do wanna point out Pure Autoloaders only doesn't actually explode, they explode but deal no damage even if your shell is chemical/ has gunpowder, its the clips that makes it explode, thankfully 4clip designs are cheaper, but has to use a emergency defuse if you don't want to explode. to how much recoil absorbers you need for railguns, you need exactly what you put for railgun juice to absorption Example, Assume your gun is pure railgun, your railgun uses 50000 energy, therefore it creates 50000 recoil. thats how it is Edit: I forgot to say 0 clip only really does explode if your He is big, not sure how frag and emp works on this

@Schproemftell12 күн бұрын
it should be mentioned that the required Length of an autoloader/Clip is not determined by ''how beefy'' a shell is , it is determined by how many components relative to it's ''beef'' it has for example you could make a 12mm shell with dozens of components to make it 8 meters (800mm) long or you can have a 400 mm BEEF shell that is a single meter long this also determines ow many shells find place in a clip i do believe a single clip has place for 1000 mm worth of shell girth means you can at best store 2x400 mm shells in any clip since everything beyond 400 mm is direct feed (means the shells to BIG for clips)
@Jay-fy4zy Жыл бұрын
I'm still pretty confused.. I just got the game, so excuse me, but you say to make the shell first but how do I know how big to make the shell? Do i just make whatever i feel like? And then how do i know how much cooling the gun needs? How do i know how often the gun can fire?

You can try stuff! That's what I'm doing, and although my cannons are and have been rather bad + inefficient, you don't need them to be perfect :) For the Advanced cannons, use the Ammo Controller with customizers (they're beside each other on the advanced cannon tab) In there you can select different shell types, the tooltip says what they do, but it's the combinations that are interesting. You can look these up if you want to, or just do as I mentioned to try whatever you feel like.

@@Jay-fy4zy late to the party but based on the length of the shell design (more gunpowder/payload/etc) the shell per size becomes longer. That said a 8 module long shell could still fit in a 1m long loader, but that would require you to have a small barrel as well, meaning you'd be firing 55mm bullets. This is okay for AA weaponry that need to dump out bullets in RPS notations rather than RPM, but you generally want a bigger bullet to deal damage. If you're cramped on space, cutting down on the amount of shell modules (length) is thus better than making the shell diameter smaller. In the bullet designing screen you'll get a clear dropdown tab that allows you to select autoloader sizes for the bullet you've designed, giving you a clear way to see the gauge of the weapon you can make with the bullets you've made. (i.e. rather than having to guess the size that bullet would fit the game just tells you "this bullet needs an Xm loader for this gauge") Now for the "why", partially personal preference, moreso for 'what the gun needs to do' and 'how much space does it get to do what it needs to do', if you need a 400mm gauge since it's your main gun but your hull is only 5m deep, well, good idea to cut down on the bullet so you can fit that size crunch. Or if you're on that same boarlt designing an AA gun, well.. Good chance you'll want only 1m loaders despite having 5m of space so you can fit in even more loaders, so you should design the bullet off of that assumption, and more importantly that specific task as well. Vice versa however, if gun size isn't important but you need the bullet itself to do a specific task, for example heat or hesh, then the gun is built around the bullet, rather than vise versa. After the APS firing piece is mounted all of its required stats is displayed, you want cooling parts to be equal in rpm to your intake parts.this varies per bullet and gauge size etcetera, so there's no clear cut answer for a cooling to autoloader ratio.

There is a problem with your 8m example. Ejectors can't rest on top of a turret it has to be a cooler or rail charge. I make a lot of rail guns. I like to put the controller in the center. Use the four clip tetris with ejectors. I place them in a circle pattern around the center. Three are used per side so twelve in total to complete circle. If you want more just make another circle pattern around. I haven't made one that's bigger than two. You can also stack them. If they are big clips I use coolers around the bottom, center and top. That way I have a place to connect recoil. The free space I put rail charges, coolers or recoil. The toughest part is having a place for recoil. Coolers and charges are easier to connect. It's a balancing act on how much rail charge you can have. There is also a cool 5clip tetris for 1m clips. I found it on the workshop. Bummer only 1m clips can be used but you can make a mean pure rail with no gun powder to fit 1m clips.
@supercavia888910 ай бұрын
Would it be possible for the same gun to fire different shells depending on what you're targeting? (for example FLAK vs HESH depending on how fast the enemy moves or something like that). Kind of want to build a secondary turret that acts primairly as (flak based) CWIS but also have a backup function to damage armoured targets where the normal shell would be ineffective. Or have the possibility for slower firering kinetic shelled APS to fire something more inclined to hit (anthing with a timed fuse and AOE) when only small planes remain.
