Is a AI anti aircraft cannon possible.

I have tried, and failed. So I am wondering if any skilled builders could make one. If you do decide to make one, link it in the comments.

    @Potato21 the main problem there is that when o ground, the AI prioritizes taking off over attacking, so I had to use 2 separate AIs; one being a simple tower that elevetad the gun high enough so it was thinking it's in the air.

    It is, actually, I have a """""""working""""""" prototype that exploits the AI behaviour, basically the AI always wants to be pointing at it's opponent, so I made a simple armature that simulates flight the same way real flight simulators do, so when the AI tries to roll or pitch, it gets rotated where it wants to. It is, however, very unstable and buggy, but I'm trying to improve it and release it. It could in theory have weapons attached.

    There is.
    If you do not know SNOWSTONE (a very far away airport), there are AI controlled anti-aircraft missile launchers. But if you want to make a stationary one that will shoot you, no, because the AI will try and do it like it was a plane and potetially screw up everything. @Rogrigo110 said things that make a lot of sence to me. But if you want to dodge AA guns, the WWII destroyers and the USS beast is the closest things you can get. Next is the ones stationed in SNOWSTONE.

    I don’t believe it is possible. People have been experimenting with having a missile that is contained within the gun on free rotation hinges so it points forwards the enemy when locked on; but it is extremely rudimentary and works quite badly. I don’t believe it is possible to make one in the current version of the game; the closest we have is the AAA on the ww2 destroyers
