The RSS Rampart Carronade is the first in the RSS series of cannon batteries. Utilizing mesh extensively for greater detail, the carronade faithfully reproduces the general appearance of a late 1700s carronade fielded by the British Navy. Scripted with a single, ultra-fast, low memory script, the carronade works well even in heavy lag environments and has a very low impact on sim resources. The low velocity, high arc cannonballs perform consistent with the real carronades in range and damage compared to standard long cannons.
RSS Carronade Specifications
- Max range: 90 meters (with carronade at 1.5 meters above water level)
- Velocity: 30 m/s

- Explosion damage explosive shot
- 360 degree traverse
- 20 land impact (repair kit is 1 land impact)
- 5 HP until disabled
- Selectable shot type (round shot or explosive shot)
- Mesh physics for low physics resource cost on sim
- 1 ultra fast, low memory script
- Editing and tilting the cannon has no affect on cannon range
NOTE: Each carronade barrel may only do 1 point of damage depending on how accurate it was aimed. This is an intentional feature to simulate glancing hits. To get the double damage, aim better!
Included is a repair kit to repair damaged cannons. It works on all RSS land cannons. Place the kit close to the cannon and click to start repairs. It will repair one health point every 25 seconds.
