Though there are gaps in the shield but I think its fine not to make it fully cover the ship. how are you even gonna see through it (orbit view well work)
it stops missiles and fuselage that are non-XML modded
Taking a page from @Sadboye12, @Spefyjerbf, and my own research, I'd say that the quickest solution for this sort of issue.... would be making another "bouquet o' guns", this time static and actually having full coverage. Set the roundsPerSecond to some arbitrarily large number, the burstCount to "1", the timeBetweenBursts to the actual wanted time between individual "shield updates", and the lifetime and muzzleVelocity to a set of numbers that multiplies into the ship's length. Or, if you're using pistons to "open" the shield, set both values to something small but none-zero.

As for how to hide the bullets.... make the bulletScale something like "0, [12.5× your ship's length in meters], 0".
@KarlovyVary A flight computer to calculate the height, and a rocket...... ZOGGIN' BRILLIANT IF I SEY SO MESELF!

... So, can we use a similar setup to make those wooden-tailed torpedoes? IIRC both Japan and America attached wooden fins to their air-dropped torpedoes so that they can be dropped from greater altitudes at greater airspeeds.

It's pretty much the alternate-universe version of the WWII saying "If you want to get the girls, fly the Mustang. But, if you want to get back home, fly the Thunderbolt."
In case anyone's wondering this IS my alternate-universe version of the P-47 Thunderbolt.

... and if I'm ever to finish this I'll probably be quoting directly from the original.

@Graingy Kek. Although here I thought the Yanks had it worse back during the years HMS Agamemnon was active? IIRC the Brits were pretty unionized during the 1910s and 1920s, the Yanks - especially the miners - not so much.
FDR have the right idea on how to run a state, shame about the state of affairs since Richard Nixon though.

Is it correct to assume that something went wrong w/ the auto-credit system (again)?
@DISHWASHER2005
+1... which way? For my sanity I'll just assume the visual effects isn't the shield itself.
