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.
