Naw, no way to load it in survival... textures are not great, but could be overlooked if it could be loaded.

Conveyor port is most likely at the buttom in the center.

how do you load it in survival?

That sounds quite good yes, but I think until you can feature it it should be viable in the first place. Or people will overlook it when it gets that feature because they always thought about it as a weapon they won't use.

It's more or less in limbo of being something that has a lot of work to make really good, and something that I'm kind of okay with where it is until I can make it really good.

I don't have much programming knowledge or background right now, but the end goal is proximity burst based flak projectiles, so it'll blow up if it even gets near someone.

@kris220b thats why I suggested increasing the caliber if the fire rate, accuracy etc. should stay the same. I just said this one is - for its caliber and how large the mount is - too slow firing and too inaccurate. I would even accept a smaller low-budget version. But a small gun on a giant mount, that doesn't even hit or fire often - somehow funny.

not at all. Please be sure to check out the weapon pack versions of these, as these will not continue to be updated with the main pack. I may mark as discontinued or just remove them, but development is continuing with the main pack.

I agree with accuracy and mussle velocity, but not the damage, 55mm eaven my mid to late WWII standards is rather small, you would not fire 55mm shells against a cruiser or battlecrusier during WWII, so why would you fire a 55mm AA gun against large grid ships with armor thats 25000mm thick?

This is an AA gun, it takes down fighters, not carriers.

Oh, and this should be constructive and if I took it too far somewhere I'm sorry. I like most of your weapons so far but this one seems quite underpowered, especially with this large modell.

In my opinion, to be useable it needs either
1) much better shell velocity and on-point accuracy to snipe from the supposed distance
2) more damage to be a threat to big ships (could as well make it a bigger caliber then)
or 3) a serious buff to its RoF and turnrate so you can be a threat to fighters at their effective range
Either way, I'd suggest if you follow 1) or 3) to make the modell a bit smaller to be more fitting. It's weird that it takes the space of your 250mm twin railgun which does better against bigger ships AND against fighters.
