What is CBC Ballistics?

CBC Ballistics allows you to aim cannons from Create Big Cannons more precisely. Instead of relying on estimation to aim your cannons, you may employ a ballistic calculator to quickly find firing solutions for any target within range.

Features:

• Ballistic Calculator block (Director)

  • Can output either a low or high angle firing solution.
  • For each firing solution, the calculator displays:
    • Pitch: Angle of cannon
    • Charges: Charges used for firing solution
    • Yaw: Yaw of cannon
    • Precision: Estimated margin of error for the found solution in blocks
    • Dispersion: Maximum estimated dispersion of projectile for the given range in blocks
    • Travel time: Time in seconds before the projectile impacts the target
  • When the Set button is pressed by the Artillery Coordinator, a redstone signal can be read by a comparator that indicates the amount of charges that are appropriate for the target.

• Artillery Coordinator

  • Controls all Cannon Controllers and Directors (Ballistic Calculators) and outputs relevant information.
  • Send: Sends target data to all ballistic calculators and displays the mean results.
  • Set: Tells all Cannon controllers to aim according to sent target data.
  • Mode: Tells the directors to change mode.
  • Fire: Fires the cannon.
  • Rdy: Number of Cannon Controllers that have finished aiming towards the target.
  • Can be controlled by another Artillery Coordinator by becoming a subnetwork of said other Artillery Coordinator.

• Radio Set

  • Right-click whilst crouching with Radio Set in hand on an Artillery Coordinator to connect.
  • Whilst connected to an Artillery Coordinator, press the open radio key (default: R) to open the Artillery Coordinator from a distance.
  • Radio will fail to open if there is no network, if the network ID has changed, or if the Artillery Coordinator is in an unloaded chunk.

• Cannon Controller (Gun / cannon)

  • Works in conjunction with the Ballistic Calculator to aim the cannon towards the target.

• Network Manager

  • Connects all the Artillery Network components together.
  • Right-click to tune into a network. (Only works on components that are already connected to a network or are themselves a network, such as the Artillery Coordinator).
  • Right-click on another component that isn't already connected to a network to connect it.
  • Right-click on a component in the same network to disconnect it.

• Rangefinder

  • Despite the name, does not actually give range but rather coordinates.
  • Left-click whilst scoped in to find coordinates of target.
  • Right-click on a Ballistic Calculator with item in hand to automatically input found coordinates.
