Turret's Syndrome - three-pack of turrets for er turreting....

Because I've been avoiding space and tinkering with spinny things... I'll throw these three different bearings out there in the form of turrets. Pull it apart and build a better turret. Or add some BDArmory guns and destroy things with greater accuracy. Or not.

My personal favourite because she's so darn robust, the Hanging Turret. It's that good you can fit it to a cargo bay, use some fancy offsetting tricks and subject it to the wind. That's right, hang it under an aircraft and go whaling or er birdwatching.

In general you'll want to use SAS on the Small Turret and the Large Turret. The Large Turret is the worst bearing among them. But it's also quite heavy. However, everything will pitch up and down, and do the spinning spinney stuff. If using the command pods and ladders to load Kerbals, dont forget to retract the ladders before you stage!

Versatile, somewhat cute and er well, why not? Pull it apart. Kludge some more bits on. Add to anything you like.

When you want to have nothing stopping you form looking at the sky while in a seat pretending to shoot stuff while you make pew pew noises from your antennaguns... Requires daylight. Probably should have added some fancy PB-NUKS

True KSP style missiles. They can’t actually hit anything… Best to build your own. A completely stock turret that showcases an alternative method for generating up/down and side to side turning methods. Relatively stable if you keep the nose level. Introduce pitch and all bets are off… With the "missiles" attached, you won't be able to pitch the maximum 90 degrees. Best to stay safe with 45 degrees. Otherwise the only way to "get it up" is to launch the missles. Also has 200+ parts so it's overly complicated/decorated.

Nice! Love these builds. Must have taken you a long time to make that :D +rep for you! My tanks would probably run because your sentry is much bigger and has more intimidating missiles.

Thanks mate, but if you try the missiles... If you aimed them at your feet, they'd still miss. Very Kerbal.

I need to find a fun way to incorporate the hanging turret into an SSTO.
