    I've seen a few others try this before. The physics engine in this game is surprisingly accurate when it comes to weapon recoil because recoil can only ever get a vehicle as fast as the projectiles speed. (Well until the projectile starts impacting yourself as the speed of the vehicle begins making the projectiles move in the opposite direction, this is why the cannon projectiles explode on you because they subtract the speed of the vehicle from the speed of the projectile. Therefore, untill they add projectiles that break the sound barrier, recoil will never get you past the sound barrier)

      What you are saying would be true if the weapons are modelled as air cannons (jet engines). In such a case thrust drops to 0 when vehicle speed and vehicle relative outlet speed become equal because the momentum of air in (stationary) and the momentum of the air out (stationary) are the same so no momentum can be imparted to the vehicle during the process and so no change in speed can occur. Vehicle speed is limited by outlet speed.
      Real cannons are more like rocket engines. They fire off some amount of the vehicle's mass away from the vehicle. As this mass is already at the speed of the vehicle, and some change in momentum will occur, thrust will always occur in the process. Vehicle speed is not limited by outlet speed.
      Trailmakers seems to have unlimited ammo, meaning that they are either using air guns, or realistic cannons with magic. Such magic would be that upon reloading or firing some amount of momentum is created by the addition of mass to the vehicle without reduction of vehicle speed.

    Just so you know Mat. The reason those drag racing wheels would not work well is a few reasons ill just cover the core.
    1. They only go on the back drive wheels.
    2. They have pretty high coefficients of expansion and also have alot of twist, try find a top fuel dragster launch to see why we don't use them on street cars.
    3. Your basically a jet/turbine powered vehicle as long as your wheels give enough grip for your needs its a balancing act.
    The same also goes for downforce. The faster you want to go or accelerate the more the balancing act becomes. As an ex mechanic who has built a few racing/drag vehicles amongst others. Including driving them I can say its sadly not just about pure Aerodynamics, weight or even HP.

  • @dimitar4y
    @dimitar4y Год назад +6

    I think the reason the cannons explode everything is because the vehicle is going so fast, that when the projectile is launched, you drive right through it before it has had a chance to separate away from the vehicle. Essentially in a single game frame, you shoot the projectile, but it's collision is disabled with its firing cannon, and then you drive forward so fast you drive the second cannons into where the first cannon was. So it's like the cannons are pointing into eachother.

    • @spacemanspiff8635
      @spacemanspiff8635 Год назад +1

    I believe the aerodynamics does work differently in that it's more realistic now. When you swapped the front wedge's orientation, it sucked it to the ground then flew up as the rear wheels were no longer gripping to the ground. I guess they had to make the change in favour of realistic aero for all the airplane stuff.

    Acceleration changes the effective angle of cannonballs firing to more steep, it's just not going to work. Perhaps you can get more angle aiming them to the sides and hinging towards the back end. You can also try spacing them out a bit more length-wise, but that will add extra weight. It's probably worth exploring if the minigun glitch works on cannons: 4-5 rows of miniguns with cannons on the back. Really fun one, a bit disappointing we don't have an official speed record yet!

  • @Jesse-zk9ge
    @Jesse-zk9ge Год назад

    Hey real engineer, I mentioned this to another guy who was trying to break the sound barrier with the guns. I guess he just didn't borrow the reading light suggestion. One property had is when you line the guns up before another they tend to blow each other up. I had the idea that if you line the guns up on a wedge shape where each row is shooting over the top of the other row, I believe you could essentially Ustick recoil from each row without blowing up the other guns in front of them. Plus if you make the vehicle a teardrop shape with the longest part what's a Gunther range on it might improve aerodynamics.💧 this is why I mean by Teardrop shape I would imagine that the mini guns what shoot wait for the longest end. Too bad you couldn't make actual Brown shapes I would think it would be absolutely awesome if each minigun was arranged in concentric rings with each one being the smaller one within the other.✌

  • @lordgenerias

    I think the miniguns at an angle would be the better option. Less of them, but constant acceleration until they overheat. But it does remove the issues of them destroying the back rows.
    If cannons are still the choice, a sort of fan might do the job. Wide at the front, narrow at the back. Hinges would still be needed to avoid blowing half the vehicle up from the first shot, but other than that, I think that would work.

  • @duskyrc1373
    @duskyrc1373 Год назад

    I think part of the problem with the camnons may have been due to them still hitting the vehicle even when angled outward. I think the outward speed of the shots was not enough to clear the vehicle before the acceleration pushed the vehicle forward enough that the back collided with them.
    If that's the case, then angled miniguns (with their higher projectile velocity allowing them to clear the vehicle, plus the grace period they seem to have before hitting your own vehicle) might work.

  • @arctic_void
    @arctic_void Год назад

    Small tip, use the flat connectors underneath the cockpit going all the way back to connect the miniguns, it'll help apply the force horizontally to the center of mass and stop the vehicle from digging in the ground, which makes it eventually fly out.

    I might be crazy but I think the front wedge orientation does infact matter, not for drag and topseed obviously but for aerodynamic stability.

    This is the 3rd person I've seen try this with cannons. Has no one seen myth busters? They shoot a ball out of a cannon strapped to a pickup truck and match the speed of the shot so that the ball drops straight down. The cannon balls have a set speed at which they leave the cannon. If you match that speed, they drop straight down and explode your vehicle.
