Not necessarily. It is likely that an opponent would try to counter-battery it. Given that a Paternian M135 Paladin howitzer could strike targets with a CEP of 5 meters with guided shells, the concerns are real. @AverroesIndustries
@AverroesIndustries Titanium is a metal, which means it is malleable.
While the armor is very hard, it isn't excessively so. Titanium has been successfully used as aircraft armor in machines such as the Su-25 Frogfoot and A-10 Warthog.
Graphene is incredibly flexible for its hardness, thanks to its structure.
In either case, spalling can be solved with several layers of Kevlar.
@NathanMikeska You mentioned XML option for Self Destruct and Burn Time on Rockets, but I do not know how to use them. Can you explain what scripts are necessary to employ them and how to employ them?
@AverroesIndustries It looks like an effective combination, albeit an expensive one.
My armor compositions comprise of glass, ceramics and metals of various forms. It's what we call composite armor, trading reduced weight for greater volume than a homogenous armor material.
The Paternian Air Force has no issues with the F-35. We found modern air combat was more or less a long-range missile spamfest, and that initiating the fight was synonymous with victory. And the F-35 was very good at both.
In the rare cases where the F-35 did have to dogfight an Su-35 or PAK-FA, the F-35 held its own very well.
How? Team tactics. 1v1 fights are almost never going to happen, and it has been proven that slower less maneuverable aircraft can hold their own against faster and more maneuverable types. That's how Paternian F-35 decimated the Su-35 in dogfights.
Sure, the Su-35 can turn circles around virtually anything, but that's basically gone if the thing wants to chase something less maneuverable.
@SledDriver Fairly far, given that I have several artillery pieces, including a 120mm mortar and 155mm howitzer. Unfortunately for the mortar, I forgot to add cameras to the bombs to walk in the fire.
I should note that normally, there are two traverse settings in a turret: the rapid and the fine setting.
Rapid is for getting the weapon in the general direction it needs to be pointing. Fine is for allowing greater accuracy.
It is possible to employ gyroscopes as part of a turret assembly, with a free-spinning rotator serving as a traverse point. I've done this before as well. @SledDriver
I've employed bomb-launchers with rotators. Pretty much all my tanks employ it, with significant modding via XML toward the weight of the bomb so that I don't have to use obscene power settings for the detachers. While precision is something else, structural strength has never been an issue with me.
@SledDriver That's a familiar arrangement, although not advised due to advances in weapon stabilization. Here's the IRL tank that uses the concept, the S-tank.
Ooohh, Hitler's buzzsaw. 20 rounds per second because why not?
Still in German service as the MG3. Only difference between MG42 and MG3 is that the latter is now in 7.62x51mm NATO instead of the original 7.92x58mm Mauser.
I may or may not use the trigger assembly in my MAG build. If the FAL is the right arm of the free world, then the MAG which backs it up.
@GermanWarMachine Neat.
Thanks! @NathanMikeska
The armor is fine. @Baldeagle086

@Baldeagle086 lol its all good.
@Baldeagle086 70 tons is quite heavy for an artillery vehicle, given that the Victoria tank weighs just as much and is designed to get shot at.
@Baldeagle086 The whole point of composite armor is to be lighter than homogenous armors for the same level of protection.
However, homogenous armors tend to be more compact than composite armors of the same weight, and are generally cheaper.
It's an engineering tradeoff.

Reminds me of a single-engine F-5.
@Supercraft888 Np!
Sweet jet though.
The F-35 hardware-wise isn't the most impressive as a whole.
The software though, is flawless. That's probably where most of the billions of dollars pumped into the jet went. @ColonelStriker
Neat. @SledDriver
Ok. @AverroesIndustries
@phanps Thanks!

@SledDriver I've got to try that with my Paladin.
@Oski Okay. I suppose I can try too.
@Z3RO There's only a limited amount of charges.
@Oski Sweet. Figured out the XML scripts?
Nice build!
Btw, it's a 3-inch gun.
@SledDriver Fairly far, given that I have several artillery pieces, including a 120mm mortar and 155mm howitzer. Unfortunately for the mortar, I forgot to add cameras to the bombs to walk in the fire.
Whoa. @Oski
Wait what. @Oski
Understood.

@HellFireKoder I would like to know what exactly to type in XML in order to use the hidden Self Destruct and Burn Time on Rockets scripts.
How do I use the new XML functions?
@Ephwurd Ah.
@SledDriver Ah. Why not make a hover tank with a gun turret?
@SledDriver That's a familiar arrangement, although not advised due to advances in weapon stabilization. Here's the IRL tank that uses the concept, the S-tank.
@SledDriver I suppose. I can provide consultation regarding armored vehicle design.
@SledDriver While sloped armor dramatically improves armor effectiveness, it reduces the available interior space considerably.
Inward-sloping hull armor also reduces the turret ring diameter, which limits the size of the main armament.
@GrOuNdZeRo Thanks!

No problem! @SledDriver
Rarely have I seen a type of aircraft defined so carefully by a series of aircraft by an individual.
@AndrewGarrison @WeeBabySeamus I propose that special category of aircraft for this style be made.
Thanks! @phanps
Wars I won against you: All of them.

There's a Discord website. @PyrusEnderhunter
Why don't we talk this over Discord, yes? @PyrusEnderhunter
Also, calling BS on those figures. @PyrusEnderhunter
@PyrusEnderhunter M1115 employed in similar numbers would cost $50k. Including maintenance.
I was thinking of adopting several heavy-lift trucks which you made. @Marine
The M1115 would have done the same. For less money.
MUCH less money. @PyrusEnderhunter
