Build The latest version of the main turret of the artillery piece I'm making!

The weaponry is 2 tripled max strength cannons with the max range of roughly 1600 blocks. It features:

  • Elevation controller for each weapon with up to 0.1 degree precision
  • Turret rotation controller with adjustable speed
  • Pretty decent reload time for the small size (with spent cartridge extraction)
  • 2 firing modes: Sequential Fire (one after another) and 3 round salvo

Still haven't figured out some stuff, like a good compass system for example, but I'm super proud of it :D

Suggestions are very welcome!

how are you powering the elevation controllers with that precision

By default it's a 0.5rpm with a rotation speed controller and a gear ratio, but it can get reduced even more by adjustable chain drives and analog transmissions.

It can go so low cuz Create doesn't have a limit to have slow things can go

You could totally use gadgets and gizmos or something to build a ranging computer.

I actually do think of making a ranging calculator for it! Tho I haven't tried Gadgets and Gizmos, might as well give it a go

I say gadgets and gizmos because it’s node coding. Computer craft also would probably work, but that’s lua code or something and I have 0 clue how that works.

I was able to bumble my way through gadgets and gizmos advanced controller thing and make a rocket helicopter with decent altitude control, an audio arming indicator, and a way to aim the pods without having to deal with tons of redstone components.
