This High-Power Bomber Plane Doesn't Drop Bombs... IT SHOOTS THEM!

[@MrMattkid]

This whole firing from the bottom thing seems like it would be a fun type of multi-player challenge too.

[@feldamar2]

Ooh! I like this! Some real pilot skill instead of build skill contest!

[@stephenhill5986]

Just give everybody thr same build for ease and more time fighting, and there you go

[@MrMattkid]

@stephenhill5986 I think part of the fun for them is building and revealing. Plus I was thinking they would do it with the normal weapons. They would be a little more forgiving and make it more fun and entertaining.

[@AnasatisTiMiniatis]

I was thinking the same thing for the multiplayer battles. Bomber dog fights, but the weapons can only point downwards.

Well that just won't work In one vid there was a situation where one pilot (the main one) couldn't see because of a bug and they just crashed very quickly Maybe with a boat or a car 3d is just too mich

[@Hadeks_Marow]

You have created a good amount of "alternate firing vehicles" by now. I would love for you to do a series "Battling our best builds" where you get the guys and do 1 video per person. On your channel, everyone uses your builds, on their video, everyone uses their build. It's a fun way to show off your different creations to the others and get their reaction. I'd also like to see you revisit the bomb bay missile idea and see if you can make it a hybride that can use transform the functionality back into a normal bomb bay _(aims down and no additional drop velocity while in bomber-mode)_ based on a toggle key.

[@neologicalgamer3437]

Do something similar, but without the bombs, so you literally have to fly up to the enemy planes and "punch" them

[@TheCaptNoname]

A boxing glove plane? I wanna see it!

[@Hadeks_Marow]

For your transparent damage cube, I recommend making each layer a different color. It will be ALOT easier to tell that way. The 5x5 layer, the 3x3 layer, and the center block is the final layer.

[@Phlarx]

This plane brings to mind the AC-130 gunships. Might be a neat 2v2 battle with one pilot and one gunner controlling the airborne artillery. Idea to build on that: Place targets you want to hit among those you don't, each team gets a time limit to get as many points as possible.

[@LucasHunter-ol7ci]

[@SteinGauslaaStrindhaug]

For moving targets, maybe adding slightly different delay to the cannons to get a bit more spread in time (assuming there's any wiggle room within the piston speed to make it work)? (ADHD haven't watched the whole video, so for al I know you will make this modification when I unpause, lol)

[@HalfWolf2]

Reminds me of the Me. 163's prototype recoilless guns that fired upwards out of the wings when something casts a shadow over it, used to shred through bombers at close range

[@TheCaptNoname]

There also were some experimental assault planes with SMGs used in this way. Look up the _Junkers-Larsen JL-12_ with its array of just under 30 Tommies scattered into three arrays OR the Soviet _Tupolev Tu-2Sh_ with a battery of 96 drum-fed PaPaShas (if my memory serves me well) Not gonna lie, I wish Trailmakers had the ability to pack the autocannons this densely just to see how close can you get to the bombs' destructive power.

[@steeljawX]

Make a kind of 3D checker cube for a target, but also integrate 2x1 frame blocks. So you have your 6x6x6 cube. Top will be alternating solid, glass, solid, glass in a checkered pattern. Next layer, off set the checker pattern by 1 meaning you build the edges with 2x1 solid or glass blocks and then use 2x2 blocks in between alternating. Next layer is offset by 1 more, so you have this kind of walking pattern of checkering solid blocks floating in a clear glass block. It'll let you keep better track of where damage is happening in the block. Also, the black powder cannons have a sneaky inherent trajectory programmed into them. They will always "arc" "upwards". What I mean is wherever you've set the base, the round will curve away from that plane slightly as if it was trying to fire against gravity if it was level. I found this out trying to make a piston black powder cannon flak gun. I had 4 "crossed" around 1 2x2 block and the cannon balls all bloomed out instead of holding straight. So your cannon balls are crossing over each other as they "arc" "upwards" from their plane of attachment. If you had them all facing the same way, they'd all arc the same way and hit near the same point instead of you having 2 points of detonation.

[@DanyF02]

You transparent testing cube could probably be made of multiple colors to make easier to count the missing ones.

[@AlrenClan]

Would be a cool idea to have a submarine on magnets that’s dropped from a plane and then caught by the plane and carried away using the magnets. Kind of like the catching a car.

[@Nevir202]

After what a nightmare that one was, I expect he's NEVER doing anything like that again lol.

[@dapperpotatoes8473]

I have a theory on how to fix the fast-missile auto-aim. If the speed is measured from the cockpit speed, then would placing the cockpit on similar pistons also make the auto-aim account for the increased velocity?

[@Zachahicks]

Any day scrapman pulls out the ole test cube is a good day

[@lunarwaffles7696]

You should make a video where the smallest creation kit appointment, and the one the twins, a race or a battle gets a point this will make you choose between simplicity and speed or defense

Multiplayer challenge with Yuezi. Both of you build a bomber and a ground turret. Turn off your tags so you dont know where the other is at and go at it. Player with planes is limited to X amount of planes to respawn to vs turret cannot rebuild. Once object turret is protecting is destroyed match is over

[@ГеоргиВълчев-ъ9д]

Scrapman after his build breaks every single law of physics - "There are some side effects..."

[@tech-boy334]

As far as I know, the developers actually release the damage of weapons in some value. In the update 1.6.3 (i think) they reduced the missile explosion damage from 600 to 300. And another example, the AI dogfighters had a health buff from 400 to 1000. I am sure you could find the bomb and Cannon damage aswell

[@Gomorragh]

this needs to be made into a turret, say a quad firer that you could add to the bottom of planes, top of tanks etc, also, i think the piston missiles you found were not easy to aim anymore might have helped in this weeks multiplayer battle

[@-.47.-]

You should do a dogfight with the cannons facing vertically upward! Back in WW2, the Germans had a weapon system called “Schräge Musik”. It consisted of either autocannons, or machine guns, that faced vertically upward. It was meant so that a plane, the Bf110 for example, could fly below a bomber, and hit the bomber with an autocannon or machine gun volley. All the while being in a blind spot to the gunners.

[@NightshadeShroud]

Add a hinge so you can swivel the gun forward and back to lead or lag shots while maintaining flight angle

[@alexorsmthnidk2449]

you sir have made a b-1b lancer, and im all here for it

[@Parakeet-jl5ng]

I'm not sure how buggy it will get, but it might make it easier to hit air targets if you change the angle of each cannon. I think that will make a multiplayer batter more interesting.

[@gabrielhenson5751]

What, like turning it into a shotgun?

[@Parakeet-jl5ng]

@@gabrielhenson5751 Yeah, I think one canon ball hitting will do more than enough damage to another plane. Also, it might make for a more interesting video since it will involve more hits and more narrow survivals

I feel like with this kind of weapon system the kind of aircraft that would work really nice is something that is able to move freely in 3D like turn however fast angle wherever and move however. I feel like that kind of aircraft weapon combo would be ultimate.

[@junkiat8328]

I just got an awesome idea. what if you put a rocket launcher on a turret in a way that it collides and turns the turret and put the cannons on it so that you have the lock on of the missile launcher. it may not work as the bullet speeds are different but you can try. you want like put 2 triangles facing inside so it will collide when the rocket launcher turns to lock on. i dont actually have trailmakers but plan on buying it from steam when i get a computer

[@ffaceless6137]

that ad cut at 6:15 was perfect. "oh no if i click right now, im dead" (single frame of explosion) (immediate ad)

There is actually a German plane that uses this idea it has cannons facing up so the pilot could fly under a plane undetected and hit them from the bottom

I wonder if the spread could be reduced by adding another piston on the other side. It seemed to shake the contraption weirdly with just the one.

what about the Tank Cannon rather than the pirate ship cannon, you seem to forget about this one. from testing it seems more powerful. also your piston push system seems to also work on thrusters etc giving you more speed.

Scrapman I wonder what would happen if you had forward and reverse thrust for dogfights , so like you have your forward thrust as normal for flight but then reverse thrust to act like brakes to cause a stallout and quick spin around. So when you turn on the front thrust the rear thrust turns off causing you to stall and turn in any direction needed , would it make it easier to shoot down someone who is just going in circles because turn radius would be greater

[@buckduane1991]

(Reposting late comment from last video since it probably got buried.) Oh, I have an idea! Multiplayer helicopter dogfight or chase a target, but this time with a new twist: co-op where one of you is the pilot and flies and the other operates the weapon(s)-like a real AH-64 Apache or Mi-24 Hind. You would have to coordinate. Teams would use each weapon twice with the pilot and gunner switching for the second round *or* each player could build a helicopter of their own and fly it in their round with the team mate who is not flying in that round being the gunner in the nose. I got the idea after seeing your video titled “These Helicopter / Infiltration Missions Feel Like a New Game” last night before I went to bed.

We need dogfights with speed boosted projectiles. Edit: they could do the 3 round system where round 1 is with bombs Round 2 is rockets (with auto-aim disabled) And round 3 is gunpowder cannons.
