it would be best if you had a target before you fire the cannons because the fuse input will not work properly and explode in the barrel of the turrets (all the guns have Fuse Input)
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.

Sorry, just spam-upvoting everything I liked as usual, and curiosity got the better of me and I can't help but ask what happened between the two of ya for the apparent animosity...

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.

It's a rather obscure aircraft and rarely seen on this site?
Holy hells, a stall speed of 25mph? Thanks for finding this gem.

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.
