Prototype of a Functional Autoloader based from the T-60/T-80 tank autoloader mechanism of the USSR.

About

Characters in brackets represents the actual specification for comparison and later improvements
Maximum Capacity: 20 rounds [28 rounds]
Reloading duration: 13 sec [7-8 sec]
Gun max elevation: 18° [Matched]
Gun max depression: -4° [Matched]
Muzzle Velocity: 600-700m/s [1200m/s]

Features

Skipping blank slots

(This means you can remove any ammo cartridges from the carousel for lesser part count (17 parts per ammo cartridge) without needing to change the program!)

Scaled

(its not like perfectly scaled but its as close as I could)

Muzzle Flash

(I mean why not, hell yeah)

Low Setting Requirement

(Can work from Medium to Ultra Physics setting, Aggressive to Default FPS spike reduction.
Rated and tested on 3-30fps)

P.S

13-15 sec loading time, pretty slow compared to the real life counterpart which is 8 sec. Theres another 8.5 sec delay which I intentionally did set to avoid the loader to fail as the docking ports needs 10 seconds for undocking to be able to dock again. I'll do something about this sometime later + I think I did the whole thing wrong which became more complex than it was supposed to be.

I wasn't able to make the propellant charge to go in the chamber too. Ikr, skill issues lol.

The Turret's shape is something I've been really trying to get right at the moment while getting into mfd for crosshair and target locking.

This is a part of my T-80 tank project, uploaded to mark my progress as I'll be back and busy again for school very soon.

Please do comment any problem with the loader for improvements for v3 and yes, you can use it for your crafts just name the command pod as "M" or keep the command pod.

Thank you

    @Jerba try using fairing base because I think it's the only block that actually has that hollow collider mesh based on my exp. Send me the unlisted/craft, I'll try to point it out

    I love autoloaders and have (kinda) been trying to make one, worked on it for like two days but never actually got far, mostly because the charges would drop through my base when detached and I couldn’t figure out how to fix them. Nice job!
