Mk 15 Phalanx CIWS

A close-in gun mount that stacks on a 3 m node and carries no missiles at all. 1550 rounds of 20 mm at 4500 a minute, effective to 1486 m, with its radome elevating on the same trunnion as the barrels so the track antenna stays boresighted with them. Elevation runs from −25° to +85°.

5"/54 Mk 42 mount

A five-inch naval gun mount that stacks on a 3 m node, and the Phalanx turned inside out: 40 rounds a minute rather than 4500, reaching 15.7 km rather than 1.5, and shells that burst in the air at the predicted intercept rather than having to hit. One press fires one shell; the barrel recoils in its slide, and the shell itself is drawn in flight. The mount, its shell and their textures were made for this mod by Mallikas.
