Select a target for auto aim. Deactivate AG8 for manual rotation.
Use Trim and VTOL to simulate boat rocking.

This is for the AI Ship Combat thing. I had a problem with the ship rocking in Z axis (I think that's the one? Roll) when hit by high impactDamage shells, which messed up the auto aim and made them incredibly inaccurate.

    Thx lol
    Had to have something there to simulate the rolling/pitching motion, so I figured it may as well be a ship

    @Astro12
    Very true. I really needed something like this for a turret that uses autoaim (which is for AI) especially, since it can't even make a manual adjustment unlike a human player.
    .
    I was very lucky to come up with this method (using a secondary cockpit to get the data on how much the ship's roll angle--this is most likely not the first one to use it), since alternatives (like doing crazy calculation based on ship hull's heading, pitch/roll angle, turret rotation etc.) get pretty complex and way beyond my brain's computing power and math skill. lol

    Coincidentally, I'm using a similar system on a ship I'm currently building. Rolling can really throw off the sights a lot, and my manual aiming system is set up so that it only works properly in the horizontal level. But simple stabilisation with a small adjustment corrects all the counting errors.
