Effective range?

Lets just say that they had a problem with missile fragments hitting the ship with its inertia after the phalanx destroyed it.

The US is working on RAM now for faster reaction, longer range, more reliable kills, a higher ability to engage multiple targets, and a higher ability to engage the target again if it's a miss.

The brits use goalkeeper, a 30mm gatling gun close in weapons system. (not quite a GAU-8, but still cool)

See, a missile looks like a weak target, but when it's pointing straight at you, there's not much to hit. Hitting a 5" diameter target at a mile away coming at you at hundreds of miles per hour isn't easy.

What is really cool is the Oerlikon 35/1000 air defense system with AHEAD ammunition. That pwns.

*edit* canada has warships? <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Ah, your doing the later version?

It's not bad at all, especially for your first try

I'd scale the box over the barrel down some vertically, and you can afford fewer sides on the pedistal cylinder

antifreeze

We can find a way

XenoHazard

off topic, but somebody oughta reanimate that Minigun for use in NS.

PFCNublar

you might wanna make the thing on top just a little bit shorter. It might not fit the hitboxes or something that restricts size.

H4nDC4Pd

lol the whole thing doesnt fit the hitboxes. I think the base and basicly the whole model needs to be thinned out. the turrets is gonna be twice as big as the TF.

Burncycle

The one on the first page with the rotating radar instead of the dome fits the hitboxes pretty well. Not too tall, etc

antifreeze

Quickly threw a texture together to help show detail, its coming along nicely. yeh i mite change to the radar version, dont know yet though. before some **** says "omg that skin is ****, lolol!!!1111 OMG" THIS IS NOT EVEN A CONCEPT FOR A FINAL SKIN!!

XenoHazard

antifreeze

PFCNublar
