Cannon recoil mechanism help

[Gagamehl]

Im having problems countering the recoil of overclocked cannons like power 10. So I wanted to know: Does somebody have recoil systen designed that can handle such high powers without using mods to build the thing.

All you need is Easy Scale and Building Tool to do.

Without mod, your x10 cannon artillery will be big and super difficult.


This is a building step to do with words atleast.
1: Place a big single ballast.
2: Put two suspension behind the ballast. Stiffer the suspension, better recoil control. Dont make it too stiff however.
3: Place a cannon on the ballast.
4: Heavier ballast = better recoil control.
5: Ballast and suspension arnt going to work anytime soon, so place a bunch of wing pannel that creates drag to reduce the recoil. Scale it small on the ballast so you can put more.

Wing panel wont work for fast vehicle because wingpanel are just there to control the recoil as they create drag.


For visual youtube tutorial, this is a video of how to create a simple modded tank.

Skip to 12:00 to see how to build a turret that can handle x10 cannon power. You can put this knowledge in your builds too.

Thanks a lot man

WELL WAIT YOU ALREADY USED MODS TO OVERPOWER THE CANNON
JUST GET A BUILDING MOD TO MAKE THE SYSTEM

Actually I went to the Save File for my Machine and edited there the value.

I think I made a ~10 power cannon with a vanilla recoil/aiming system a while back, if you want I can try to dig the file and upload it the workshop. It used a whoole lot of suspensions balanced on each side of the rotating structure and interconnected with braces. It had wheels to drive around, a "bed" of pistons + grip pads and around 8 arms that latched on the ground with grabbers for additional stability. Very impractical, but useful on testing armor layouts on tanks.
