sadly broken, shell explodes inside the barrel

Please make it Weaponcore compatible, i really need a 155mm gun, or even better if you have the time make the gun that the Caeser Arty uses.

Tested today. The gun will fire only once. After that it will shoot but no projectile.
Any fix?

sorry is it being updated to weapon core

will this work with weapon core if not is it updated to weapon core

Hello again. Found config file for your gun for this mod. I guess you have done gravity multiplier=2 for a better arc-shaped trajectory, but it's really important to mentionit it in the description. By the way, is this config file (appdata/roaming/space engineers/storage) is editable?

Hello. Love the mod, love your work. I have done several tests on this gun in survival, even made a ballistic calculator in Excel. The performance is quite fine, but initial velocity of its projectile is somewhere around 185m/s. Love the recoil (though made a landing gear to completely neutralise it). The problem is that sometimes it fires on itself without using its shell, especially if triggered via button panel or timer. Ammo doesn't use magnesium, and that's weird/ I suppose 3 kg of magnesium per round in survival with assembler efficiency 1x will be just fine. And could you please chande the icon of ammo in the inventory because its background is white and you can't see its quantity.

500m/s I think but I can't really remember.

What's the velocity of shooten rounds?

Good to know that the stal plates are not mandatory! Guess using metal grids instead would make the cannons too weak/durable? I've just ingrained the middle-click build planners to my survival building so gotta be careful when using these.
Or learn modding and make a private, personal mod of a mod that just replaces stalinium with metal grid?

A conveyor port will be added. Kitty, I can't just 'Make' cannons multipart, it'd require a new set of blocks as not to break builds.

And just like I have said countless times across my mods, you can build and use my guns without stalinium. They function fine and have enough health to be useful, it's just their as a protective element in creative where fights are more drawn out. I'm not sure how to fix the build planner thing though :(((

Good to hear you like it though Dilbo, I love your username.

Update. So okay, there is few survival related issues with light howitzer. As the gun requires stalinium that doesn't exist, it's impossible to build and if you try to use build planner... It'll crash the game. Secondly, the ammo is super cheap to produce. Just few dustling of iron! Lastly, no construction models (which is no biggie)

I wish AWG will stop by to fix the two more major pressing issues. This howitzer seems just the long fire weapon to exist with vanilla weaponry, mostly because its max range is around where drones get interested in you. Landing nearly 3km shots feels rewarding and the destruction the shots cause is good to balance out the sheer reloading times.

Hooy boy, gave this a spin... And it spun my rotor turret right around, baby, right around. Word of warning; Yank up that braking force and enable motor lock especially if firing multiple howitzers at once.
Definitely gonna snatch some more of these AWG brand cannons if they got trajectories.

Can you make this a 2 pieces gun like your other guns plz?

Sometimes it shoot for free if assembled with timer block and have "shoot" turned_on. On slow reload (only on 1x solar panel) it will fire in middle of reloading but no projectile. Anyway really nice mod, hope there will be version with conveyor port.

Any plan to add shell tracer effect? like this https://youtu.be/EwpVbxxchFo?t=5449

Ahah that does sound funny. Good luck in your endeavours and thank you

Well, I guess peppering the ground until I hit what I want still works well enough. Thanks again for this amazing mod.

Ps. Do not put one of these things on a small fighter because of the recoil. I almost died laughing

That isn't possible without some scripting magic that I am not skilled enough to produce, sadly.

Love this cannon. only issue is figuring out elevation to hit target. is it possible to add something like a camera that updates with the cannons trajectory, or something directly in the hud?

Real mature :P

COCK AND BALLS!

Updated!

Still works as far as I can tell, but yeah, the spot where look to hand load the ammo is somewhat tiny. I can see how it would be easy to miss.

Oh wait, nope; just made it (Theoretically) compatible with small conveyors on the rear, with a bigger hand loading area. I'll push the update in a bit.

You manually load it at the rear of the cannon, it's a rather small port though and I need to re-make the model as I think it's been corrupted.

i cant figure out how to manually load it or even with conveyors. could you add a conveyor piece on the end or the back somewhere please?

This one can be hand loaded, many of my cannons need updating to be conveyorable.

I am unable to connect this to a conveyor/cargo system for survival games. Am I missing something?

15.5cm榴弹炮使用的感觉非常好，好评！我更期待作者大大能制作出现代的155mm榴弹炮（期待的眼神）

The 15.5cm howitzer feels very good and praises it very well. I'm more looking forward to the author's ability to produce modern 155mm howitzers.

hoping for a convier compatable

Hey! stil having tons of fun with this thing, amazing mod!
Just a question regarding the conveyor.. where exactly is it? I tried connecting it up to a system to feed it ammo, but can't seem to find the acutall input (other than the manual input at the back)

Thanks in advance!

Thank you! :)

Haven't tested it yet, but this looks incredible!

@AWG so honestly i can't figure out your rotor concept of the recoil system for this Gun and truthfully your description and video really lack how you dealt with the power of the recoil from this weapon

@Xoey But Basilisk had 130mm or 135mm gun ;)

Hmm that could work

Use landing gear to lock it down, have it in a rotor turret or make a system of rotors to make it recoil backwards.

So i just subbed to this gun and im trying to work or how to make it not destroy its own platform, Howe do i do that?

Yep the one from 40k. And i don't really want something spesific, just something as a practical intermediate between the 1 by 1 guns and the 5 by 5 800mm giant mortar thing.

@Xoey: Basilisk, as in the one of the Imperial Guard from Warhammer 40,000?

There is a conveyor, yes. And there will always be big boomsticks for me to make. If you want something specific done, my Patreon is above.

Can we get something a bit bigger than this, but smaller than the 800mm one? Something around to 8" or 203mm would be nice, as it was more or less the largest self propelled artillery got while still being normal artillery, not siege guns. And to be honest, i'll admit this request is motivated by this being far too small for the Basilisk i'm trying to build.

Also, is there a conveyor in the back of this thing? I cant tell.

Spead is huge and I love it!
Thanks a lot mate :)

I've updated it with new dispersion, which I'd accidentally had an extra 0 on xD It also has slightly lower recoil.

@AWG Well, thats how howitzers are meant to work, to be firing at very high angles to hit targets right from above. While i havent tested it yet, I suppose firing from yours will be quite problematic, as it will fly high couple of kilometers before it starts falling down. :)

I tried your 800m howitzer, and it was a blast! (pun intended)

The same spread as that might be just about right.

Hate to seem like I'm rushing ya', but just figured I'd ask how it's going mate :)
I like my dakkas you know. ^^

Ahah I like your thinking! I'll see what I can do.
