Description

Requires: Create Big Cannons


Timer-based autoloader for large cannons. The schematic only loads three powder charges, but it's relatively easy to expand for larger cannons. The timers should all be properly calibrated. In singleplayer I've gone through 7+ stacks of shells in three seperate cannons without any jams. Just make sure everything runs smoothy the first couple of shots. Also be weary of server lag, I've had issues with timers in the past. DON'T unload the chunck while firing/reloading, otherwise there's a high chance it'll jam or explode when you return. The power source must run at 64RPM CCW, otherwise it won't work (downside of using a timer-based system). Reload is 15 seconds (10 if you skip the shell placement). If you want the cannon to reload faster, feel free to mess with the calibration at higher speeds. 


I originally made this design to work with the radar mod for a SAM site, but it works for any cannon that doesn't need to be rotated too much. I wanted to make a hard-wired autoloader rather than one with transmitters to avoid the possibility of jamming (and it makes it easier to set up multiple cannons). The wiring probably isn't the best, but it's about as good as I can do.
