5, I thought would be the maximum of 4 weapons?

Anyway, someone has a solution for the problem found? If not, the developer would assume the Case?

Glad to see you've arrived from the german forum Black NEXUS. And yes, I have noticed numerous problems with the SAM fortress including the one you described. Again, you are correct, the maximum is 4 weapons. Being able to design your own defences has been talked about a lot, I'm not sure how far it got though.

Ok, it was the problem that the weapons can operate independently of each other, what the combination of weapons, either ground targets only, or only attack air targets makes this impossible.
I hope everyone can now understand, my english is not very good.

to hopefully correct this one:

the weapons are assigned to the unit
so when the unit targets another unit, than all weapons are going to attack the target
so black nexus wanted to say, that the weapons "can not" operate independently, right ?

Yes, multiple weapons on a structure cannot operate individually. Each weapon attempts to shoot at the unit which is closest to the center of the structure. This means that if two enemies aproach it from both sides the fortress will target the first one and then the second one, instead of having two of the turrets take down one enemy and the other two take down the other enemy.

Nice work,makes me drool!
I have an idea.Since 1 hardpoint cant handle more then 1 weapon with out bugs,why cant we make the fortress be put together by more then one hard point but build as one building.Hope this makes sense.

Excellent fortresses. Somebody has mod with these buildings ?

Mod isn't work with the latest version of the game. I found it on previous sides of this topic.
I am using the version 2.3 Beta 7

if the turrets targets the enemy units that is closest to centre of the building, then why don't you change it.
so that the turrets will target the enemy unit that is closest to the turret and not the centre of the building, there for each weapon will work individual.

that's if it's even possible to do this, without too much work.

ps,is there a mod and will it work on warzone 2.2.4 and nice work

Wow

MAKE IT

He already did. o_O

Is it a mod then?

Ah, I remember downloading this a few weeks ago. I coded it ingame to work as a heavy vehicle factory and it works well but with major drawbacks:

1. After being built, the team color texture of the fortress goes nuts as it keeps cycling its team colors per second in order green, orange,...and so on and repeats. (this could be a good reason why factories visually don't have team colors by default)

2. Loading save game causes the fortress to be replaced with a factory module. (very odd, to over come this I have to demolish and rebuild it so it can appear as a fortress again.)

other than that, the only benefit is that its a factory with guns.

Yes, it's a mod that can be downloaded here: viewtopic.php?p=24467#p24467
