Feel free to reuse and modify this turret for your own craft— yes, really.
Controls:
Slider 1: Right barrel pitch
Slider 2: Middle barrel pitch
Slider 3: Left barrel pitch
Rotate the turret using yaw (don’t forget to enable the marked AG).
Originally for a class of space battlecruisers but i ended up changing the turret from this to a separate more compact dual barrel design because this ones bit too big
.
“I own a DHT3G for field defense, since that’s what the Founding Leaders intended.
Four Gatlantis ships break into my domain.
‘What the devil?’ as i grab the remote and activate the turret.
The right barrel blows a Vegas-sphere-sized hole through the first ship. Instant kill.
I fire the middle barrel at the second.
Misses entirely due to plot armor and instead deletes a nearby local ski resort.
I resort to the left barrel.
‘Thy shall be gone!’
The blast shreds two ships. The shockwave and shrapnel set off car alarms miles away.
I reload the middle barrel and disintegrate the last terrified scalylantis.
They bleed fire while discombobulating into a million pieces.
Just as the Founding Leaders intended.”

@BeaconIndustries hey do you mind if i reverse engineer some of your stinging bee's thrusters??

@island645879 Because physics didn’t update before nor after 1945.
What looks “WW2-inspired” isn’t historical nostalgia, BUT it’s convergent engineering.
Turrets aren’t WW2 tech they’re a solution to geometry.
In 3D combat, threats come from any direction
Rotating weapons are cheaper than rotating the entire ship,that logic applies whether the weapon fires:
shells
rail slugs
lasers
And missiles (like some Sheridan tanks). also missiles don’t replace guns, they complement them
realistic fleets use both.
Some might prefer many smaller turrets and some might prefer few but large.
Both usually prefer to include missiles
That’s not from WW2. That’s kinematics & convergent, like modern birds and pterosaurs. And i didnt say it shoots generic ammunitions:] -

Very nice work,But why the space world still needs products from World War II:)

@WSR If you want TIPS when you at good point w the wip ask me and Aludra of want. We build spaceships a lot

@WSR also why not Simply make a bigger ship? What stops you? Money? Parts? You can supersize parts w tinker and try make a simple 50 part hull then put a Flight system and finally guns+details

@WSR I'll use this for sure on some alien ship lol. Thinking of the Spaceships Yamato or similar thing
@BeaconIndustries thanks
