Yes, have you ever been inside a submarine with a howitzer fixed on top of it and bolted into the frame of your sub, and have it fire while you’re inside?
Speaking from experience by the way. Served 7 years in the royal howitzer submarine brigade before our only sub in the fleet sank from being attacked by orcas.
Better than physics 101 as an answer. I actually laughed a little. In fact there was subs with big guns like that, I think the Japanese had one. In any case.,…
It was surprisingly common - the German U-Boats in WW2 often carried 88mm deck guns - sinking a merchantman with gunfire rather than an expensive and possibly unreliable torpedo was often preferred, until they started to arm merchant ships.
There were experiments with bugger guns - I recall the Fench had a submarine with cruiser turret on it: that’ll be something like a pair of 8" guns in a mount. The idea was a “Submarine Heavy Cruiser” - which sort of combines the worst of all worlds. How you handle fire control (range finding) and stability (submarines normally ride badly on the surface), how fast you can go from “turret full of seawater” to “firing the gun” (ideally before the enemy spots and sinks you) are just nasty challenges.
In Kamio there are about 25 CODE Orca’s AFK ice-mining.
I might have been.
Actually it was cheaper too, that was why Q-ships were invented.
It was French your right, but I have a memory that the Japs did something too, but I could be wrong on that because they had the best torpedo of the second world war. The issues were as you said.
They did, but it was using a smaller calibre gun - I think they had a handful of boats built (again, as I recall) and somewhat more successful than the single French boat.
WW2 period submarines (until late in the war) were less “submarine” as “a fast torpedo boat that can submerge for short periods”. The idea of the deck gun was to give the option to a captain to not use a torpedo - “expensive” because he only has room to carry a few. If the target is likely to shoot back, then you don’t want to expose your largely unarmoured ship to them. (In Eve they would be like Stealth Bombers that couldn’t warp while cloaked).
If you want an interesting story of a miserable way to fight war for a pointless end read Das Boot by Lothar-Günther Buchheim (based on his experiences as a reporter on U-96 - English translations are available).
Anyway, back the original point:
I should apologise for: BANG! two, three. This is Minmatar artillery we are dealing with. That should be MISS, two, three, four, five, six, seven…
From having played with modest size lasers (14w constant beam Argon lasers) the main noise is “cooling fans on the power supply”. I suspect the OP doesn’t want “realism” but “what I imagine it should sound like”.
The game isn’t realistic to begin with, not even close. Anyone using “due to realism” is either just trolling or not very bright, neither are conducive to a good conversation.
I’m an Amarrian pilot. I want the lighting to dim and the world go quiet when I divert all the power to fire the lasers. So saying, I’ve Hue Smart lighting here - there’s got to be something I can rig up…
