Hey guys! I'm working on making a portable synth, if that sounds interesting to you, check out my Kickstarter!: www.kickstarter.com/projects/reidcaptain/mixisynth
I love how sometimes these processes parallel real world developments like when you put the charge and the projectile into one object instead of loading them separately. Boom, cased ammunition instead of cap and ball.
2 piece ammunition was actually used on ships for a _long_ time until they moved over to missiles, just due to the insane weight and size of the shells used. Although 2 piece is still used in some places that have moved to cased shells, most notably the Russian/Soviet designed MBTs vs NATO MBTs
@@2KDrop Its honestly kinda funny how tanks still basically use that "cap and ball" concept, just instead of a cap you have a cylinder of explosives, and instead of a ball you have APFSDS and HEAT shells
The gravity factor you calculated was off a little due to the propellers providing some thrust, propelling you higher. The gravity factor of besiege is exactly 32.81 m/s/s
Before digital and pure electronic computing, naval ships used electro-mechanical calculator. They had triangles, cones, spirals, gears and pinions etc for not just arithmetic but calculus calculating rate of change etc. This allowed ships like the Iowa-class battleships to hit a moving target 20 km away while making S maneuvers
Hi guys, and welcome back! I explain a little bit at the end of the video what's been going on, but I'm also hoping to share more details of that project in the coming weeks. In the meantime though, let me know what you want to see me make!
Not really a suggestion for besiege, but I see you love these kind of games so I would like to reccoment stormworks, it has a steep learning curve but the 20 dollars is more that worth it!
i'd like to see you try out some other games, Nimbatus seems right up your alley with an advanced logic system, physics stuff quite similar to besiege (though 2d) and some interesting parts such as magnets, and Cosmoteer is another game that it could be interesting to see you play (i bet you'd be able to make some sort of logic gate using ion beams and prisms)
It was very unexpected seeing how precisely it was able to hit the targets, even in water. Besiege mechanisms always look very sloppy, but this one worked extremely well.
@@kdesikdosi5900 Still for a game engine not made for this kind of thing he managed to create this insanely well. Even if it failed, all its successful fires were near dead on.
20:24 This is where you need ballasts along the center of the ship! All ships have a ballast at their lowest level of the hull, usually filled with water, in order to increase the center of gravity and prevent side-to-side movement
@@ez_theta_z9317 If I remember I think keels and ballasts are different, but they both function for the purpose of ballasting. Keels are the fin-like structures along the centerline of vessels, usually on sailboats or larger sail ships, to provide weight at a low point and increase the amount of water that would have to be displaced in order to capsize. Ballasts are more like tanks filled with water to provide stability for modern cargo ships when they are empty, or sometimes just a collection of rocks, sandbags or heavy cargo for old sail ships. I think a keel is just one form of ballasting but depending on what type of ship it is it will have one or both of them
@@ez_theta_z9317 No you’re good! The way I wrote the initial comment does sound a lot more like a keel in retrospect, but I meant to write it more as describing a weighted ballast. You had the right idea, I definitely just needed to describe it better. Depending on the water physics in Besiege, a keel might work just as well
@@andrewcavallo1877 Correct. Keels are the "spines" of a ship, although the term most often refers to the one down the centerline and at the very bottom of the hull, other structures that are similar, and are used to give the ship rigidity and or structure, e.g. propellor Skegs, like the ones found on Iowa Class Battleships, are also Keels. Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial has a video on their ship's Keels. Ballast is either an object, mass or liquid, e.g. seawater and or fuel, used to stabilise a ship. Ballast can come in a few forms, fuel in fuel tanks low in the ship, sea water in ballast tanks, and objects used as ballast.
He knows how to mechanically compute trajectory but won’t bother to search what the front or back or a boat is called, we are special in very different ways
There is this game "similar" to besiege, called stormworks: build and rescue. It's a sandbox, construction, survival game where you build boats, planes, helicopters, submariens, ships, cars, VTOLs, Anything! And it also has built in weapons and damage mechanics so you don't have to deal with funky physics. And often, it's more funny than frustrating in sandbox when things go wrong! From what you play, I think you would like it.
You have no idea how intensely I was waiting for you to come back. I watch your channel all the time and your channel is definitely one of my all-time favorites. Also you introduced me to the Enjenir and for that I am eternally grateful because it is one of my favorite games of all time. Absolute legend.
Oh man ,imagine makin somethin like a submarine,maybe a u boat,like the hms m1 or whatever its called,its a sub with a single giant gun,the oportunities that this beseige update gave us,man! Also its good to see you postin again my dude
Reid: proceeds to use Pythagoras and math in a game without math just to make artificial aimbot Reid: also proceeds to get his boat tipped over bcs too much upwards heavy
Shell deviation? I call that splash damage. Speaking of which, why doesn't the barrel have Collison? Barrels exist to force bullets to fly straight, the longer the better.
I tried to understad trigonometric calculations recently beacause i wanted to build a robot arm in a game where my only option was number logic, but there wasnt an online source that said how i could do it with just addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, all the formulas to calculate them would give a result that was a trigonometric calculation multiplied by an unknown number, or used a graph, or used a (not as accurate as i wanted) list of possible results, or approximation So i couldnt make the robot arm beacause i couldnt understand what sin meant in the formulas, AI would only repeat something from wikipedia to me which i already read
Great video, its always interesting to watch you slowly making your machines work better and better. Btw i would suggest you a cool game called People playground. It has alot of electronics and interesting gadgets that lets you create many cool stuff. In fact i tried to create a calculator in there but my laptop was just too bad.
Tbh in slight inaccuracy actually feels pretty fitting for battleship since accurately hitting a target at sea with naval gunfire is extremely hard so accuracy rates were pretty low, hence the need for firing in salvos.
This is gonna sound like an insult but I swear it is not, your voice puts me to sleep lol. I watch all your videos normally too but I queue up a few when I'm trying to sleep and turn thw volume pretty low. Great vids and thanks for helping me sleep hahahaha
I always watch your videos, especially the Besige ones, but i never expected you to do something like this, its incredible a good machine, what app/program did you use for the calculation?
The intresting part, is that most Super-Dreadnought-Era Battleships had heavy computerization, and while for safety reasons, a lot of the firing was remained human controlled, the Battleships would still calculate the target's distance, heading, their own shell velocity and would basically lead themselves on the target, leaving only minor changes, and the firing itself to the crew. But this also was true for all the destroyers, cruisers, and aircraft carriers at the time.
8:36 this part with the bullets synchronously moving got the song diggy diggy hole playing in my head except it went: I am a bomb and im exploding a hole Explode, explode a hole Explode, explode a hole Also i didnt know they added seas! Thats amazing
Now make it look like an actual battleship (realism) with smaller turrets (that don’t fire) and then do a test where you fire at an identical copy of the ship and sink it, and I’m guessing the ammo rack would probably crash the game if hit but try it anyways for the hahas
I was dumbfounded. My mind immediatly went to , "Oh GOD. Wait. How do you convert this function into logic gates?" i completly missed the Obvious. 'this is just trigonometry. We're in a mechanical sandbox. Just BUILD a fucking triangle' Loved this
If you like games like these I can highly recomment Brick Rigs. I made tanks with fire control systems, rangefinder, explodable blowout panels, stabilizers and I also made a 16x9 logic screen with a small 2d-game. I am telling this mainly to showcase that this game had really nice logic and conbat system you can make everything you want. From cars with cruise control systems, main battle tanks, ww2 tanks and planes to the craziest logic stuff. The workshop has a lot of ambitious builders uploading their builds. You can also play multiplayer but you need to find some good people/serverd because most are sadly 10-14 yr old as it feels. Or you play alone and experiment in sandbox like I did for 1500 hours sonce 2017.
Hey Reid, I have a question about 15:08 . Shoudn't you multiply d with v0cos(theta) to actually get the distance? Since the d you are getting is actually the time of the flight of the projectile until it touches the sea [which can be calculated only using the vertical component of the velocity, aka v0sin(theta) ] ? Also why do v0 ^2 and 2 times theta? (I'm asking because of the funny coincidence where I have just finished studying this kind of stuff)
After all pain i got by trying to play VR without aly fine VR headset (I've been trying to set it up for 2 hours and got ~3 minutes of gameplay) I'm realy happy to see this video. (You may didn't understand couse of my bad english)
You do realize there is a mod that is literal called "Battleship guns" or something right? Still a cool af build. (Maybe it was Battleship deckguns... or just deckguns. I dunno.)
I just want to tell you that i love your videos because theyre really interesting to watch and i learn new things with each video so i just wanted to say thank you for entertaining me and many others and helping me understand physics a bit more.
2 months late, but I can tell you that if you didn't figure it out already, the problem with your stability which you somewhat solved by adding essentially pontoons could also have been solved with additional ballast below the waterline. The problem was that there was just way too much weight above the deck, causing it to capsize.
I don't mean to be a buzzkill, but bullets and shells are different. Usually shells are used in artillery weapons, such as battleship cannons, but bullets are usually used in small-arms like rifles, handguns, and submachine guns. Also, anything larger than 20mm is considered a cannon instead of a gun.
Now i dont know to what extent you can take this concept, but ive been fascinated by the japanese I400 submarine, its basically a submarine aircraft carrier. It can submerge, and then surface to launch small bomber or fighter aircraft. Id be curious if this is at all do-able in besiege.
Maths - my nemesis. Anyways, as a bit of feedback, while I like a lot of your besiege builds I always end up being sad that the demonstration section of the thing in action isn't longer. Like a test scenario where you use them to wreck stuff or maneuver around obstacles etc.
15:19 is the speed here squared because of the parabolic trajectory? I wonder if you could have resolved the movement into its x and y vector components and modeled it in a program. I think you’ve inspired me now, brb.
Ah, the prodigal soul hath returned! With the grace of providence and the auspices of fate, thou art once more among us, as the dawn reclaims the night and the phoenix arises from the embers. Welcome back to the fold, O noble wanderer, whose presence we have long yearned for. Verily, the stars have aligned and the fates have smiled upon us, for thou hast graced us anew with thy esteemed countenance.
I love the game, although I have never played it, I have always been passionate about these things, so I don't know if there will be wind currents or what, but the fact that the bullet does not always go to the same place is quite realistic, also in battleships, which used to shoot at several kilometers these projectiles used to deviate quite a bit, that's why it is very very well done and funny, good video
Oh nice, I just derived that distance formula the other day, not that hard but quite fun, though Im surprised that Besiege doesn't have air resistance? Cause it assumes linear horizonal motion
I would love to see you try to build contraptions on people playground, it’s my personal contraption building game of choice, and with a couple workshop mods the possibilities are endless
20:46 You could also have tried to reduce the number of barrels, the ship was quite high above the water line and with the weight of the cannons this was probably what caused the poor stability.
To make the boat not tip over you must shift the center of mass below the surface of the water. That is why boats have a massive spiky metal pertrusion that goes deep into the sea. Try putting a bunch of ballasts with a heightened mass far under directly under the center of mass so that it does not desire to tip over anymore
Braces have a lot of angular drag at higher rotation speeds. this can be useful for control systems or torque neutralisers but is bad when you _want_ something to spin
Hey guys! I'm working on making a portable synth, if that sounds interesting to you, check out my Kickstarter!: www.kickstarter.com/projects/reidcaptain/mixisynth
I love how sometimes these processes parallel real world developments like when you put the charge and the projectile into one object instead of loading them separately. Boom, cased ammunition instead of cap and ball.
