Phalanx CIWS
Phalanx CIWS (Close-In Weapon System) - ship anti-aircraft artillery complex, designed for automatic protection against anti-ship missiles, aviation and small surface targets.
Developed in the United States in the late 1960s, entered service in 1980.
The complex is based on a six-barreled 20-mm M61A1 Vulcan automatic cannon, controlled by radar and optical sensors.
The system has a high rate of fire (up to 4,500 rounds per minute) and can respond to threats in fractions of a second.
It is used on ships of the US Navy and other countries, including the UK, Japan, and Canada.
The land-based version, LPWS, is used to protect bases from mortar and missile attacks.
From the author:
The model is created with a focus on visual authenticity and RP functionality.
Includes a rotating cannon, radar dome, and sensors
Optimized for mobile platforms.
Suitable for installation on frigates, destroyers, and experimental platforms.
Inspired by the real-life Phalanx CIWS system, but adapted for gaming purposes.

@Lq11 it could be very worth it if you managed to make it shoot. you could claim you built
indeed, you can put that quote on the description to attract upvotes or just gain status, place it on your description as i did with other quotes, it just adds professionalism and enhances trust by the ones that download
@Livingg017 Do you think this is worth doing? I don't know how I didn't notice it during construction, but this build doesn't match the actual dimensions... It's possible to make it shoot, but I've probably lost the motivation to do anything that I had before...
this craft deserves a re-upload. adding shooting mechanism and flames would be great. to make flames you can use RCS smoke and orange lights, to get a shooting mechanism with unlimited ammo and shell ejection check the TONK replica that someone uploaded to the site
@Lq11 wowie zowie!!
O yeah, I remember this!
@Lq11 Yay, congrats 🎉

I think I've tagged everyone. Haven't forgotten about this build? it's the first one from my collection to get 20 votes.🎉🎉
@TheVizzyLucky Yes, I can say these are my best buildings.
@Lq11 I didn't forget your effort on my contest 😉. Those really are some great crafts though
@TheVizzyLucky Thank you for appreciating my work... You can say that I took 5th place in the competition.
@Lq11 np man

@STC
Thank you
@Lq11 you are welcome
@TritonAerospace Thank you
ok i will ping youvon sume unlisted post so the chat is private
@Livingg017 No, I'm not busy with anything and we can talk.
@Lq11 ok but i will not post it only share it with you. Are you doing anything? Can we talk? im a bit bored to be honest
@Livingg017 Haha, I have a different philosophy - preserving the beauty of the profile... I really don't mind if you post the building in your profile, but for me it's enough to just have a link to this building in the description
@Lq11 that is against my work philosophy, the craft is not mine and so i cannot upload it, it is the former builder who deserves the upvotes
@Livingg017 In principle, I don't mind if you publish an updated version on your profile.
ok ill work on it so you can upload it later on
@Livingg017 I don't mind
