@BlazeInfinity Indeed... 571 parts on android would be a more than a bit laggy... Though given the context, the Italians could mount their own torpedo tubes on the vacancy left from the SAN tubes...
@SILVERPANZER
...Does Cylindrical count? I splitted the TargetDistance and TargetElevation into Target_phi, Target_rho, and Target_z, and solved the rest with simpler trigonometry. Turrets are pretty polar by nature (traverse based on azimuth angle Phi, elevation based on either the complement of the polar angle Theta or the axial coordinate Z), so it's only natural for Polar systems to require less calculation than Cartesian when it comes to computing firing solutions.
.
Of course, I know, that polar might not work nearly as nicely with the rotation matrix compared to Cartesian, and any polar coordinate system with the Z-axis not pointing straight up will absolutely *NOT* work with projectile motion which cannons rely upon. But still, for what it's worth, polar coordinates does allow much simpler calculation within its niche - and guess what? Naval CIWS (and land-based C-RAM emplacements) just happen to fall into that narrow purview. Plus, I can always use a dedicated "fire director" actually controlled by Cartesian coordinates and then translate those two particular outputs into the Cylindrical coordinates my other turrets use, so once again, the codes are designed within a specific niche for that specific niche, and it has, so far, worked flawlessly within that niche.

@WinsWings Actually, a Gloster-looking Ho 229 sounds mighty fine as of now.... or a Northrop-looking one, for that matter.
.
Also, aside from vertical stabilizers and wingtips, this Allied flying wing design would probably also have large round or square intakes (like the ones shown here), unlike the elliptical monstrosities on the 229.
@WinsWings
It's the same picture as the one shown there, right?
... and among all three models, only the green "Italian" design actually looks flyable, whereas the shovelwing (aka Monarchii's build) is tail-heavy (would've made much more sense to extend the wing all the way back), and this "British" jet incapable of surviving asymmetrical thrust.
... and something tells me flying wings also work pretty nicely with split brakes.
The only thing I can think about is the asymmetrical thrust if anything happened to one of the engines... Seriously, it would've looked much more realistic if we moved the nacelles closer to the cockpit.
@Dracul0Anderson Yup, but it's only AFTER the missile's activated (or, in in-universe terms, when the missile's own radar kicks online). Still, ground targets wouldn't start shooting at you until the first missile actually hits, whereas they would normally be alerted by the first locking attempt.
@spefyjerbf Same here, and shares an uncanny resemblance to your (and Epwurd's) aesthetics as well

Ever heard of localized Fire Control systems? (aka use inputs from flight computers located right in the middle of the turret)
Also, that's why I'm using wing guns for my turrets, XML-ed bullet sizes work just as nicely as far as proximity-fused autocannons goes.
+1Or just an accurate enough turret with high enough damage; or a weapon with a good enough proximity fuse. Or both.
