I've been working on these between other projects/when frustrated. Unlike the previous packs, these are not really based on naval guns (though the barrel spring comes from the US 3"/50 anti-aircraft mounts).

This pack was originally going to include multiple range AA shells to create a sort of layered flak wall but discovered that projectiles(missiles) that explode at the end of thier range do not do damage despite the graphic explosion, they only do damage if they directly hit something. As such I only included the longest range version I planned (700m). I also discovered that the missile damage stat has much less impact on armor blocks than a combination of rate of fire and blast radius due to the way armor deformation works. This created a problem as these guns were better against armor than my 5" guns, thus keeping the 700m max range instead of extending it like the other guns, also the turrets are much flimsier than my 5" turrets (but better at tracking fast moving targets).

Survival ready with build states.

Currently Contains: 3"/50 Single Turret (360, 270,180) = -180,135,90 to +180,135,90 traverse -10 to +80 elevation 3"/50 High Angle Turret (Large and Small)= -180 to +180 traverse +30 to +90 elevation 3"/50 Fixed Cannon

Work Agenda: I will continue to add to this randomly between other builds, probably will make a small ship casemate and some sort of tank type turret as some point.

Known Issues: -Using Keen textures and audio on all V1 releases -When recoloring the high angle dome turrets they will reset barrel position to 0 elevation causing clipping issues, they cannot fire at this position (I believe) but will function propperly (snap back inside thier intended limits) if they gain a target, are directly controlled, have idle movement turned on, or the save is reloaded. I can't really fix this without breaking something else.

Additional notes: Barrel diameter and legnth are actually accurate to scale, though some of the barrel is inside the model with enough space for breach and a plausible loading mechanism (although it might be tight in some cases). Also, if you want to modify these in some way be sure to give credit.
