Why not shooting my defense system to Kronos?

[Biggieboy]

I setup all guns, kronos is in range, but only the 105mm cannon shot 3 times (and empty). I have CIWS, twin cannon but not shoot. Why?

Maybe range. This is hard to say how far they can see, but also I doubt they will damage Kronos effectivly. Also check if you don't turn off they targeting agains Kronos

Its a mission, Kronos come closer then the regular enemy and mission is over and need repeat. I turn on everything, and maximize the range

Kronos can be shot by artillery only due to his range. CIWS must shoot his missiles, not him.

depending on risk incidents, you will need more than 1 arty to shoot him, always take or make more shells and load up your auto loaders.

it's definitely range, even on the mission where kronos gets close. You should consider bringing at least two artillery guns with the capacity to make more shells or simply kill kronos with your own weapon or a cataphract.

Make sure your artillery guns are set to Direct Fire mode.
When the battle starts, check the map for friendly artillery positions (space bar to slow time in command mode, IIRC), Set them to the same settings as the one on your base.

Until later game, the Missile Silo is the only other base weapon I can think of, that can possibly hit Kronus. Maybe.

Another way to deal a lot of damage to Kronus, is by shooting his weak spots and destroying them.
Start with one of his legs...
A sniper build with extra damage/effects for weak point hits (like Piercing), will help a lot here.
Or just bullet hose him, with elemental ammo if possible.

if you 'must' use a twin 30mm against Kronus, then go tear one off of a turret, and use it by hand. Just mind the very slow movement speed. I'm not sure if it would be good or not with hitting weak points on Kronos.
*ponders if the same can be done with the CIWS gatling gun*
