So I found a tank on the road and tried to fire the main gun (A 120mm cannon) but instead of aiming it shows the ‘draw from holster menu’. I tried to reload it with some shells but it doesn’t allow you to, instead it gives you the option to either control the vehicle or examine it. Then I tried to debug a tank and the same thing happened, then I tried with other tanks and other armored vehicles but I couldn’t fire their main guns, and even found out that the 30mm chain gun has the same problem as the 120mm, the only mounted guns I could fire were the machine guns.
I think it has something to do with the update #7284 wich added ‘turret mounts’ but I’m not sure, I know I could fire cannons and such some updates before the one I mentioned. This is my mod list:
- “dda”,
- “Arts’ Guns”,
- “craftgp”,
- “realguns”,
- “makeshift”,
- “Medieval\_Stuff”,
- “More\_Survival\_Tools”,
- “nw\_pack”,
- “mutant\_npcs”,
- “npc\_traits”,
- “more\_buildings”,
- “Urban\_Development”,
- “boats”,
- “deoxymod”,
- “blazemod”,
- “Tanks”,
- “no\_rivtech\_guns”,
- “no\_scifi”,
- “more\_classes\_scenarios”,
- “RL\_Classes”,
- “filthy\_morale”,
- “no\_reviving\_zombies”,
- “StatsThroughSkillsFour”,
- “ZSFIXED\_cddaxp”,
- “more\_locations”,
- “Experimental-Z-Level”

Yeah, I think what you’re basically seeing is a clash between the new implementation of turrets as you said and blazemod’s old turret system. It’s gonna take a while to get it cleaned up.
Is anyone even keeping up with actually maintaining blazemod? I’ve seen some forks but they’re all incredibly outdated (2017/2016) and I know there’s a lot of long-standing bugs regarding manually-reloaded turrets and blob items.

Yeah, I can also chime in with broken turrets and cannons. I was in the process of building a mobile-home-tank from scratch and have been at it for a few days. Took down a tank drone and got its 120mm cannon that I thought I’d add to my tank, but I couldn’t add any cannons or turrets into it. Scraped off some turret mounts from wrecks too, but they don’t work in my tank either.

Tank turrets would be fixed in:
>
There was really dumb error where `copy_from` was used instead of `copy-from` in Tanks mod which I missed while hen testing.

Cheers for the fix. It’s always the silliest issues that go unnoticed.
