Hydra Skyfortress

Description
This is a skyfortress intended to take on enemy fleets, and does so quite effectively. See video for details. I have taken into fights against half a dozen simultaneous enemies and come away fine, this is battle-tested.

The Hydra has five "heads" - one manual turret for sweeping and clearing operations, and four automatic turrets to keep the skies and ground clear.

There's never any need to land: you enter and exit via tether. This is an extremely effective way to drop into a contested area, especially given that you can leave the autoturrets on if you go. There is a well-stocked armory if you decide to do any personal mayhem.

Handles pretty well, can take some flak and be repaired in flight.

This is a cheat vehicle intended to fight the AI. It uses a few glitches. Spawn on a dock.

Radar coordinates are always relative to the radar device. However, there was a bug where the orientation might not match the installed radar, I don't know if that's fixed or not.

yes but are the radar coordinates relative or global?

The autoturrets aim using radar coordinates, which are polar. The manual turret uses your directional inputs, which also end up being polar. They don't fire on a GPS coordinate, they fire on a radar coordinate.

i mean, do they use X,Y,Z?

The main turret can be aimed manually. The others automatically sweep for targets - you can view the video for details.

How are turrets aimed?
