You should make the flak tower target subsystems and set it to like weapons so that it won’t waste ammo on bits of blown up ships.

[@reachwbar]

If you can't get the mod load order issue resolved, I believe with the Howitzer you can cycle ammo types using the control seats' hotbar. It looks like it's "cycle consumable" under the howitzer in the G menu when setting up the hotbar at 38:23

[@iwantmypot]

On your vehicles you could add a timer block for docking mode. Have it toggle the connector lock, and all fuel tanks stockpile. Just remember if you manually toggle anything, they won't be in sync with the other items anymore. (though you could have two blocks, one to dock, one to undock) Or a programmable block so you could have a one-button-toggle and also avoid desync. It could either lock/stockpile or unlock/un-stockpile depending on the status of the coupler lock.

[@hotdogman4208]

Man I gotta say, seeing your big plane inspired me to start making one of my own. It's now an unfinished, but stupidly massive plane with eight engines, two interior stories, and a cargo bay large enough to fit dozens of people or two small rovers.

[@localarso1040]

This was very needed thank you

[@frankmartel5775]

Canada stopped using JATOs as the force was so great that it would bend the airframe. I destroyed two of the last JATOs in the Arctic. They had been brought up to assist a Buffalo aircraft with a heavy load to take off but they realized that they could not be used as they don’t fit on a Buffalo aircraft. So they sat for years in the Arctic until a coworker and I were sent up to get rid of them as they did not want them brought back

[@ChristopherMocko]

If you put a camera on the front of the artillery rotor, before the hinge, you can use is to visually fine tune the horizontal alignment of the cannon. For quick and easy use, you can set it up with a custom turret controller set up to only control the rotor. Then just use the program to set your hinge angle like you demonstrated. If you wanna get REAL spicy, write a script that takes the distance as an argument and sets the angle automatically. Put this on a mobile platform you can easily assemble/print and you've got yourself saturation bombardment where you need it.

[@franeklippa3013]

Oh man I can imagine just how deadly this howitzer would be with a drone equipped with a recon camera.

[@Rumblestrip]

When you blew your wheels off, your landing was level with gravity, but not the ground. Those 3 left side suspensions took all of the load and left a divot on the beach when they popped. Dunno if that helps

[@lordsherifftakari4127]

Rocket Fuel = RP-1 or highly refined Kerosene. JATO units are typically mounted behind the side door under the horizontal Stabilizers of the tail. some of your remote mining stations may be in need of an upgrade of aviation services = an actual Runway! it needn't be pretty, just functional for safe landings and short takeoff's. whatever it was didn't last long enough to be ID'd let alone shoot anything!!!

[@justinlackey4363]

Should have taken advantage of the Rocket fuel tank's shape and placed them as under wing fuel tanks. Probably could have set a merge block and ejector setup so you could drop them if needed too.

[@armastat]

Lets not forget that the Jatos are mounted on the hull because otherwise they would stress the winds (Ie they would get to the destination before the rest of the plane)

[@stevenbryant3055]

Kanajashi I think I speak for all of us viewers when I say this but, yes we can hear the fan and no we don’t mind because we would all do the same, it’s hot everywhere right now so most (if not all) of us feel your pain, stay cool stay hydrated and thank you for the quality entertainment

[@Moshthun]

Sheesh, I haven't been getting any notifications or recommendations for a few weeks now, and now I see I have to catch up on 4 videos. Well, time to spend an all-nighter!

[@dirtydeedsdirtcheep3007]

"Upgrades people, UPGRADES!"

[@Angel90011]

Would it be possible to use the turret controller to aim the howitser and just have a screen in front of where u are controlling it telling I what angle and rotation u are currently at?

[@digitalcalibrator9740]

As I watch your discussion on adding JATO to the C-130, I'm hearing something klanging in the background and it's driving me crazy. Or was that the flak tower? Also, the 203 it said in the description to use the "cycle ammo" command to switch ammo types.

[@travispluid3603]

I wonder if it'd be possible to set up a Script in-game to better automate the howitzer than having to alt-tab to a different window. Hell, you could possibly even get it to input the arguments automatically, and make the howitzers aim themselves- just give them a distance and bearing to target. XP

[@GusCraft460]

I would like to see more ship building and seafaring adventures.

[@STSWB5SG1FAN]

@50:00 Or build an _Iowa_ class battleship, and bombard the area from the sea.

[@bescotdude9121]

Or the uss Texas aka the gangster battleship

[@MStrickkk]

Have you considered adding emergency ejectors on the belly set to dump everything?

[@DemTacs]

Yes, Kanajashi is building a SPA ( Self Propelled Artillery). ^^

[@Pystro]

I wonder how many gun barrels it's going to have. And which features (auto-leveling, airlift, ...).

[@STSWB5SG1FAN]

With all the new blocks and mods coming, has anyone designed into the game turboprop engines? They would be like atmospheric jet thrusters but with prop blades in front for added thrust. The actual C-130 / AC-130 comes with 4 of those plus hardpoints for adding RATO pods under the wings.

[@tommybates1976]

You should make a little artilery truck that you can have several of and move around quickly

[@randomstuffbychris]

that artillery custom turret is so cool! Can't wait to see it in combat

[@mandrakejake]

I wonder if the target designator mod could be made to work with the howitzer? That way you could indicate target locations with a camera

[@Pystro]

Or just have a camera on the rotor. Or even on the hinge to measure the elevation angle to the target.

[@death13a]

Before going to War. Get your airport up and running

[@seannemo8076]

Might I suggest that you add a 1 degree increment to the tool bar for more accurate aiming?

[@PapWhiskyMooMoo]

WIth the total gross weight of a IRL C-130 of just under 80.000 kg in wartimes. Your AC-130 has exceeded the capacity by about 6,5 times. Like Matt Bradock has commented. Maybe its time to remodel to a C-17, since its gross weight is 265.000 kg. Making it all a bit more lifelike Or remodel it to a An-124-100M, with a takeoff capacity of 402.000 kg, now this is THE biggest military airplane in use

[@pilfit]

What ever mod is adding those naming options is likely conflicting with WC. you can try changing the load order of those 2 mods to see if that fixes it or you might need to remove it or talk to the mod author. As for the Howitzer aiming, make sure the trajectory calculator you are using is a simple one that does not account for drag as WC does not support drag. I made a simple range table with 500m intervals on it and use that to quickly see what elevation and projectile speed I need to use then walk the shots in with a spotter. Using the LG turret version, WC can handle the aiming for you in most cases as long as you pick the right ammo for the range. edit. (Ah I see you did the same thing with a range chart)

[@Bigrignohio]

Wonder if it would be worth installing a few "braking" rocket thrusters as well? Even a few small ones would help "oh shit" stops.

[@garethmorrall8106]

Have you thought about running underground piping up to the top of Cliffs from the enemy base where you going to use artillery and add Gatling Guns or some form of AA guns intercept enemy drone forces more missiles to defend the artillery vehicles or artillery turrets that you build

[@bujtorm]

Maybe it's time to swap the C-130 for a C-17. Just sayin'. C-130 definitely wasn't certified for 500 ton take-off weight lol.

[@PapWhiskyMooMoo]

Yeah his 'AC-130' is now 6,5 times more powerful than the real one

[@Darkstar-qb3dh]

will we eventually get the blue prints ?

[@T_ayman]

Hi I don't know if you knew about this mod [ Carrier Landing - Arrestor Cable and Tailhook ] it may be of use on landing I think 😺😺 and Good luck

[@jeremievigliaturo1317]

What about going 6 engines on the C-130 and then building on the outer winglets large pods with a push pull air vent for landing on water, considering you have such a load your hauling and limited landing?

[@chriswoodend2036]

Look, this is important. You have a vehicle that when it entered the series it was named Hercules, in a water world. Given the naming scheme from wrong way up if you don't make that plane buoyant and rename it Kevin Sorboat I just don't know who you are anymore.

[@tgyk94]

Surprised you haven't added airbreaks to the C130 yet

[@EgnachHelton]

I mean you can just turn the C130 into a water plane and would have infinite length of runway...

[@TheDelta07sev]

That's rato not jato. Rocket assisted takeoff

[@cjstapleton9153]

so why not just make a rocket fuel powered cargo jet? instead of remodling the C-130? something like the flowing: Boeing C-40 Clipper, Antonov An-178,Embraer KC-390 or the Kawasaki C-2. I know you said you were looking at making a jet, for attack runs a while ago, but what better way to start then with a medium range cargo jet warm up? it would be nice idea to have a spare aircraft incase something goes wrong with C-130 again.

[@GusCraft460]

Technically that is RATO not JATO.

[@Dead_Videos]

I came here to say the same thing. Have an upvote.

[@chanwesley3413]

A C130 has JATO and it's name is called fat Albert and it's for the blue angels

[@randallvolk8437]

How about a custom turret howlizer on a tank, maybe even triple barrel it!

[@kvitravn6354]

New update for c130... Puff the magic dragon perhaps

[@timbruten1375]

When you went in for the landing, you have no idea how hard my feet were pushing down🫣🫣🤣😂🤣

[@hipeopleidkwhatisgoingon]

0:27 global warming moment (both room temp and waves getting higher)

[@GusCraft460]

I can’t tell if its the fan, the ocean, or the plane propellers that I’m hearing.

[@MStrickkk]

Or something clanging around in the boat.

[@brentbarr498]

44:20 I hope whatever is clanging on the Discovery or the other boat explodes soon as it's annoying as hell to listen to while following along to what you're doing and saying..

[@localarso1040]

I would love the spreadsheet for the targeting I have been wanting to do something like this for a while

[@localarso1040]

Scratch that found it

[@magnagazoo4863]

Hot? ha ha ha ha... you live above the 49th.

[@danielharrison9453]

i think you should have +/-5, +/-1, and +/-.01.... +/-5 is too large of a gap

[@danielharrison9453]

heh, spoke too soon, shoulda waited...you said the exact thing

[@h0riz0n45]

Technically it’s not “JATO” because it’s not jets, but rather it’s “RATO”, Rocket Assisted TakeOff, but that’s just pedantic nerdisms

[@frankmartel5775]

You are correct to state that the JATO should have been called RATO. If I recall correctly the JATO only burnt for 15 seconds

[@ColinRichardson]

Hellooo And Welcome

[@WulfgarOpenthroat]

Why does no SE streamer actually convert thousands of kilos to metric tons? 506 THOUSAND KILOGRAMS is just 506 tonnes, and not converting sounds weirdly unnatural.

[@themidnightbanshee5927]

Why don't you make it a hydroplane
