Battleship turret with reloading. Includes radar assisted targetting
Using the weapons DLC, i’ve made a turret for a smaller battleship. Each canon fires independently via hotkeys 1-3.
The tracking is done by combining 2 different other creators’ creations. "Radar Auto Gun" by len343536 and "NJ EXAMPLE DLC WEAPONS" by MrNJersey.
I liked MrNJersey’s use of the pivot camera on top of the barrel to allow you to move your crosshairs to assist with aiming. I went further after this and moved the radar from len343536 ‘s creation on top of the pivot mounted camera. This way if you line up the crosshairs in the camera, its tilting the radar too, which changes the way it senses the elevation of the target. This is then fed to the gun elevation to allow you to hit targets at range.
As of now its still partly manual in that you have to fire a couple ranging shots first, but once it’s dialed in you can land shell after shell.
The 3 guns are reloaded by a large magazine below it that is lifted up when needed.

I modified it slightly and will probably make a full ship out of it soon.
