L.A.C.S. (11 Inch Naval Gun)
This turret concept, featuring three large 280mm (11-inch) barrels, is designed to deliver devastating firepower for shore bombardment and anti-ship roles. The ability to conceal the barrels within the turret's housing when not in use offers added protection to the barrels and internal systems. Here's a streamlined overview:
Overview of the Turret:
- Barrel Configuration: Three large-caliber 280mm barrels capable of firing heavy shells for long-range precision or saturation bombardment.
- Concealment Mechanism: The turret features a retractable housing that protects the barrels when idle, ensuring reduced exposure to environmental wear and enemy fire during non-combat situations.
- Role: Primarily designed for shore bombardment, the turret also excels in anti-ship engagements, delivering both destructive power and precision.
Strengths:
High Firepower:
Each barrel is capable of launching powerful shells, providing the ship with a significant offensive capability. The triple-barrel setup allows for coordinated volleys or staggered fire depending on the mission.Shore Bombardment Excellence:
The 280mm caliber is ideal for engaging hardened targets onshore, such as bunkers, command centers, or infrastructure. The sheer destructive power ensures superior support for amphibious operations.Anti-Ship Capability:
The turret can also engage enemy warships at range, with the high-energy shells offering effective penetration against armored vessels.Durability:
The retractable design safeguards the turret's barrels from environmental factors like saltwater corrosion and high seas, ensuring longer operational life and reliability.Modern Aesthetic:
The sleek turret design integrates seamlessly with advanced ships, maintaining a visually and technologically advanced profile.
Integration on Ships:
- This turret would fit well on modern U.S. battleships, heavy cruisers, or destroyers intended for power projection. It complements missile systems by offering an alternate, cost-effective means of delivering firepower in prolonged engagements.
Ammunition Types:
- High-Explosive (HE): For maximum area destruction against soft targets and fortifications.
- Armor-Piercing (AP): Designed for naval engagements and penetrating armored targets.
- Guided Shells: For precise targeting of high-value assets, such as missile sites or radar installations.
Tactical Advantages:
- The turret’s rapid deployment and firing capabilities ensure that it is always ready to strike when needed, without compromising the ship’s operational effectiveness.
- The triple-barrel configuration allows for flexible fire strategies, including simultaneous bombardment of multiple targets.
This turret concept is a perfect addition to a modern naval fleet.
Features:
• a large gun for modern-esk naval warfare
• a zummi on deck triple barrel 11 inch naval gun
• I'm pretty satisfied with this build, took me hours but mostly because I'm inexperienced on building and fuselage splicing
Controls:
- Spawn in
- Open Air-to-ground and activate1 to use cannon
- VTOL for horizontal aiming, and pitch for vertical aiming
- Aim n Fire
That's all, have fun community ;)

This would be a great concept for fiction, but looks completely pointless and impractical for an actual weapon system.
@MsMuseumJanitor do you have a discord?? I don't have a lot people in my server that play simpleplanes
@PyroRaptor2DragoGriffin name it P-1000 MK2, ahahaha
Imagine if someone makes a land vehicle using this
@MsMuseumJanitor my god.. I forgot the rest of the pics
