A warship usually have a big guns, more guns, more fire, more HE fired (if you play WoW:Blitz you should know what i mean) but how do you add more gun to your ship when the room for it not even available? Well you make Turrets, turret may consist of several guns in one revolving turret, there's one barrel, two barrel and three barrel, there's even four barrel and five barrel if you want to overkill and HE spam your enemy to death, But how do you make a good turret head? Well, here's how
[Recoil System]
There's atleast three types of recoil system that i know works really well in game, there's "True recoil", piston and recoil from cannon parts
the easiest one is to use the recoil that already available in the Cannon parts, the problem with it is that some people will be still using 1.8 because 1.9 kinda sucks because no mods, this system is also kinda "Defect" as first they can't shoot salvo or needing a proper set up like 5.0 in one guns and 0.1 for the rest to be able to shoot as a salvo, second some of the guns may do a phenomenon in SP called "Shell kissing" which in turn can explode your guns or can destroy your whole ship, of course you don't want this happening right?
Second we have what probably the easiest recoil in 1.8 and below, piston, its the thing that always power your Civics, and you know what police says? "Hey you, If you use Civics better use all of that horsepower because you can't go anywhere with that horses" but no, this is not that piston, this is SP piston which seemingly use no pressure or anything but can revolve as fast as my PT Boat cannon can do which is what i use in my PT Boat, you can just slap those piston onto a rotator, set its speed and then attach a structural panel and the n slap some wing guns and boom you got your fast firing gun
Third system is the most complicated one which use two guns, one for the main battery one for the recoil, this one is what i call a "true recoil as it produce a powerfull kickback that makes your tank feel very strong, this is the hardest one to make, you need springs, you need structure panel, you need two wing guns, you need resizable inlet (yes i still use Resizable inlet because i don't trust Hollow fuselage that much) and also you need fuselage works to close off all of that system, for tose who make it works congrats because its very hard to make it (i made a lot of recoil cannon and most of them didn't work well) and for those who failed to make it or an "Attempt" to make it Congrats because you just blow you ship main structure by your own gun, but when you do it right its Very-very right
[Turrets]
Turrets is usually made by using a single block of resizable fuselage, but if you wanna get that sweet-sweet amount of upvote you might want to make it out of two or more Resizable fuselage or even panelling it
The use of a Single resizable is the easiest one because you only need to make the below part the biggest one and the top slightly smaller, By far my biggest turret is the one that i have in Andromeda Class Battlecruiser, later i have one that even more bigger in the upcoming Preuben II Class Super Battleship with 20inch so RLRP people can talk how big of a ruckus i am
__
The use of multiple resizable is another easier system to make turrets, the problem with this is what shape do you want, because you need to see "omg is that good? No wait there's problem here, oh no, this parts is connected by accident, oh no, this part doesn't look good" which is Fine to me but i don't know bout you guys
The harder or should i say "Hardest" method of making turrets is by panelling, Panelling is always hell if you don't know what you're doing but if you know how to use it congrats because you might be at gold or platinum and people always appreciate how good a craftmanship of a builder or creator that can panel smoothly with almost or even no gap between panel, which mean if you do this and looks good you might get a lot of upvotes, its hard, very-very-very-very-very hard to panel, you gotta see where this panel goes, where's that panel goes because if you just make a moving box with wheel and guns you will not get that upvote because it looks kinda like how a noob mine diamond with stone pickaxe in minecraft, when you do this make sure that all parts were connected to the right place
It may be long but you might not even read this...
