What is CBC Ballistics?
CBC Ballistics allows you to aim cannons from Create Big Cannon 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 press by the Artillery Coordinator, a redstone signal can be read by
a comparator that indicates the ammount of charges that are approprate for the target.
-Artillery Coordinator


Controls all Cannon Controllers and Directors (Ballistic Calculators) and outputs
relvant 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 conjuction 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
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


Dispite 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.
