Absolutely man, you deserve it! In regards to the tank, I will cram as much as I can into it. Sadly, I'm using my iPhone so I dot have the ability to use XML and i'm prone to lagging. I am however looking into purchasing simple planes for my gaming desktop, as it will have absolutely no issues with lagging. Tomorrow hopefully I can complete a smaller caliber version to use for the comp., as well as starting an SU-152 build utilizing the auto-loader. Its going to look like shit, but if it shoots who cares, right?
@DeezDucks
Gotcha, i'll probably make the turrets sub-assemblies so I can outfit them without the ship in the way. And don't worry, I'm not going t try to take credit for any of your work. I know how I'd feel.
@DeezDucks
lol. I'll try my best not to tear into the man guns too much, This is such a nice design! (plus i'm a little afraid of what horrible clipping might happen if I mess with too much)
@DeezDucks
I've been working on some interesting projectile related projects (And if I could use XML everything would be so much easier) I would say that the Takao's Main battery is due for a refit. ;)
@ChaMikey
Absolutely, I'm just not really looking forward to dealing with Fuselage blocks... And a very hasty 3x torpedo tube is done as a proof of concept, but not uploaded(It uses Mk13 long range torps, the same in my "Various Torpedoes"). And Considering that the cannon is the size of a plane, Yep big ship. My next project in line is to get a smaller functioning version made for more practical use, And then to refine the large one and create different ammo types. And yes, once all of that is done I will start an Iowa or Yamato style set of turrets. I may even try to "refit" the 152mm to handle the auto-loader to have something to play with. And then there's this challenge... https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/0GMc79/Object-670-Challenge
That will have a working cannon shoved into it one way or another.
@Luke92778
By all means do so! Loading bombs into these things can be tricky, but don't give up. I would love to see you dress it up, so please let me know if you upload it. And don't be afraid to change the mechanical parts, sometimes that is crucial to a design.
@AnarchistAerospaceIndustries
The "gun pod" on the F-82 was one of multiple attachments that could be equipped there, the two most notable being a 4,000lbs bomb and radar equipment. In fact most didn't even have the gun pod
@MisterMasada
I would have much rather either had a rifled barrel, like the hexagonal rifling in some weapons, but due to the limitations I was happy to go with the VTOL nozzles. If you try to fire the cannon with out the VTOL engine running, the shell will violently revolve and come in contact with the barrel destroying the gun. So its a happy coincidence that its both functional and a mimic of realism.
Really enjoy your build style. By the way, a bare bones auto-loader is done.

I was a little too lazy to deal with the fuselage blocks... I feel like it turned out pretty well. @DestinyAviation
That just means we get to be creative!
Does that mean it's werbelwind time!?
Now just add the bomber that carries it! :D

All of you prepare to be moderately surprised at what my IOS non XML feebleness shall unveil!

@ChaMikey that's great! I've already had people tell me to get it out on a ship. There's more coming too, and I'm excited
@Luke922778
That's what I had in mind when designing it, glad to see others feel the same!

@Samuah
Thanks! I forgot to mention that the shells had cameras on them, so if you haven't already try them out!
Never thought I'd see any heaven shakers
@ElGatoVolador
Yes!!!
@Farscyt
Good advice, I'l try that on my next design!
@KCferrari
Thanks! It took a large about of research and trial and error.
