    quasar cannon travels as fast as the diver carrying it

    Excellent video. This is the approach we need to get kids to learn math honestly. This would be a MUCH better lesson than most classroom lessons.

      Thank you, your comment has given me more confidence! It is my goal to put physics and maths into context via games, in order to help others more easily understand!

    I am here to kindly request the Railgun next.
    I want to find it if it actually travels at Mach 7 or if it’s hitscan.
    Use safe mode for consistency, then attempt to test of unsafe mode results in higher, or lower velocity

      I will add it to the list 😄

      It’s not hitscan, you can see the projectile traveling when it bounces off something.

    The actual muzzle velocity is 1300 m/s according to datamined stats.

    • @Joshey143
      @Joshey143  8 дней назад +1

      Excellent! That means the value I determined has a percentage difference of 16%. This will be due to the systematic errors in the displacement and time.

      It was my renderer bugging out 😅

    looks like you might not have noticed but the ping system measures from the third person camera and not the helldiver

      Oh i didn't know that either! That's cool. 😀

      What about in FPV?

      ​@@clankplusm FPV gives a more accurate measurement (the diff is about a meter) but he compensated for it alr

    looking at stuff for electrical and this pops up good vid man

      Thank you very much! Hope your search for electrical knowledge goes well.

    I just finished my physics exam and this show up right after I open RUclips.

      At least you will continue to use the skills in other exams / areas of your life!

    No matter how the maths work out, the Quasar blast is always a couple seconds too slow for my ADHD to handle.

    • @Joshey143
      @Joshey143  8 дней назад +5

      Need a full auto quasar cannon?

    • @Kattbirb
      @Kattbirb 8 дней назад +1

      @Joshey143 Oh no, I couldn't ask for that, though that would be fun as heck. Just a shorter wind-up would be enough.

      I should probably try out the quasar more, but the instant response time of the recoilless is too awesome for me to give up

    • @Kattbirb
      @Kattbirb 7 дней назад +1

      ​@drfranklive2222 I also love the Recoilless. I use either that or the Autocannon, and the Commando if I need the backpack slot.
      If the Queso Cannon windup was buffed, I'd use it on cold planets and/or when a Stratagem Jammer is in play, as it is solid on its own being an infinite ammo EATs.

    why is it blue? or there are two similar cannon?

      They've used a colourblindness setting.

      There was something wrong with my renderer, I thought it would sort itself out in export but I guess not!
