Create Big Cannons: Going Ballistic

Projectiles fired from Create Big Cannons go further once this mod is installed. The ballistics calculation is swapped for one based on the cannon model Benjamin Robins published in 1742, which has been updated over time. The change raises muzzle velocity and extends the range of cannons and autocannons, which the author describes as making combat more effective.

Because the updated model gives diminishing returns as powder charges increase, the gain shows most clearly on very large cannons that burn many charges. Projectiles with different masses are launched differently under the Robins formula, and other projectiles fired with the same powder charges also see the change. The mod requires Create Big Cannons and is open source under the MIT License, for NeoForge 1.21.1 only.

Create Big Cannons is required, and the environment is client and server, so both the server and every player need the mod. Create Aero Radars is one of the mods that depend on this one.
