Target Series!

...its a heady headache, I'll explain why....

so okay, first thing first, a victim of procrastination! but that's normal anyway...

second thing second... the ship itself. it's fun, don't get me wrong.. it's just a bit... more than what i usually bargain and make for.

third things third... implementing the aiming leading code... I want this to be "accurate" so i basically tried doing everything but use parachan and yadda yadda bam, abound layer of another headache.

fourth things fourth... AI fires all weapons.. even ground weapons when it's supposed to target air.. so the ammo+detacher trick had to be ditched... ish anyway, made it work the same with very low detacher health so.... all is good on that.

fifth things fifth.... finalisation of it... whaddoimean? aha.... I SPENT FUCKING HOURS TRYING TO GET THE AI FIRE THE GUNS EVEN THOUGH IT WORKED BUT NOOOO WHEN I WAS ABOUT DONE IT DECIDED IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE SO HERE I AM TRYING TO DETACH ATTACH REATTACH DETACHIE MOLLY MOLLY KAEPERNICKS ROLLIE ROLLIE TOWARDS THE BLOODY DAMN SUN and as it turns out its the missile because apparently it doesn't wanna fire correctly if it's attached to the flightComputer-1 so thas that...

beside that, everything should work how it's supposed to work pretty much, so I'm mildly happy.. i swear, this would be 10/10 enjoyment had it not because of the missile fiasco, it worked before, then it bugged. eughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

HTMS Thonburi was a coastal defence ship of the Royal Thai Navy.

Both ships of the class had entered service by the time hostilities had broken out in Europe during the Second World War. Thonburi engaged a French squadron in the Battle of Koh Chang on 17 January 1941. The resulting battle was nothing short of a massive defeat, as the Thai ship was severely damaged by fire from the French cruiser Lamotte-Picquet, fires spread out of control and other ships were unable to connect to her fire suppression systems due to not having adaptors for the differently sized pipes so she was towed to Laem Ngop to be beached in order to prevent her sinking. She would capsize a few hours after the order to abandon ship was given. Thonburi was later raised and attempts were made to repair the extensive damage, though she would never sail under her own power again. She would continue to serve the navy as a training vessel with her secondary battery being removed until being stricken in 1959. Part of her bridge and forward gun turret are preserved as a memorial at the Royal Thai Naval Academy with other relics from her such as the remains of her bow garuda and bell would be spread around the country in various museums. Interestingly, there are two bells on display at two different museums which claim to be the real bell of the Thonburi. Which one is the genuine article or if she ever had two bells are unclear. Sri Ayudhya had a more unfortunate fate, being sunk in the Manhattan Rebellion of 1951.

[ Notes ]

• I don't usually curse this bad, but Thonburi in particular made me wanna yeet her across the room yelling expletives.. i didn't even get this frustrated with Kormoran... but she's still good eitherway
• I will seriously reconsider all my ship choices with this system forward of now..
• I'm serious about that
• I will refrain from making warships in a while until i gain my sanity back... I'll delay Matchanu and Kashino until then.
• oh btw, have you heard about the Norwegian passenger ships? they're interesting........
