Good question.

In this case i have to pass.
I don't know any difference between low and high arc in relation to any other weapon value.

Haha ! Alright, for some reason the UEF T2 mobile arti works fine but not the arti ships (I just tried changing the pitch range) so I'll keep it lowarc it's not a big deal

Because this
BallisticArc = 'RULEUBA_LowArc', I found in the artillery ship from Mayhem.
You need
BallisticArc = 'RULEUBA_HighArc', in each gun.

Now you need to futz with the muzzle velocity - high arc weapons are very sensitive to it (either too fast or too slow will affect the ability of the weapon to target within the range you give it. For a good example - check the T2 artillery blueprint for suitable muzzle velocity.

Hey I'm almost done, I want to make the T1 battleships experimentals, but when I choose an area to build it, the ship is equivalent to a cube.
I'm talking about the green rectangle you know.

Where do I change this in the script ?

I am not shure what you mean, but i guess you need to change (add) this:
Code: Select all
SkirtSizeX = 12,
SkirtSizeZ = 12,


If not, please make a screenshot or post the unit_script.lua file from your experimental T1 ship.

Ok I struggle a bit with this.

Here is the script and the result in game :

Looks like there is a minimum width (SkirtSizeX), I tried 2, 1, it's always the same thing, even with an offset
