Laser Turret (Continued)

@Immortalits
Uh. Modern laser weapon actually requires much more maintenance then big bullet gun, which just requires changing out the barrel after a few dozen shots while laser weapons often needs to have very expensive and hard to make parts made with exotic materials swapped out because they burnt out after a few uses.

And laser weapons also requires "reloading" as you need to wait for the capacitors to charge as while your battery is high performance, it can't release 30kW (almost)instantly.

You can probably put down a few dozen rounds with the 127mm cannon with an autoloader with proper firing solutions before you can charge your fancy laser gun from empty.


I imagine future scifi laser weapons with future scifi power systems probably just requires a quick focusing medium swap after a few dozen shots or something

That is cool that you do that. Never know when one of your mods will be exactly what i need. And with out you updating... Id be out of luck. Im grabbing it just because you updated it and thumbs up.

You make a reasonable point, and if it's useless to you, don't use it. Plenty of other, superior, laser mods out there. I just enjoy updating old mods; whether people like them -or even their usefulness - is secondary to me.

So in real life military, the whole point of laser weapons are a double advatage over projectile ones: energy based, high energy usage BUT no reload required and pinpoint accuracy... just reading that there is a barrel change mechanic makes the whole mod pointless, just one more turret...
