DOOM CRAM! 5 Million Damage CRAM Shells! | From The Depths Build

- DOOOOOOOOM.. or at least, big explosions. What's not to love? Note - the 5 mill damage number is taken by the raw damage the shell has, It rarely If ever gets that number in the top right because the radius of the explosion won't always hit everything as there are air gaps, high armor blocks that lower damage, and stuff like that in the radius!

Fragments vs Explosives isn't all or nothing.
You can max out the explosives to the radius, and add fragments on top of that to supplement it further. Massive shells are the most effective this way.
how FUCKED is that when shotting a crossbones?
Really good idea, Lathrix please implement
but.... i really do enjoy the effect that pure fragments makes when you set it to 180 degrees. just swiss-cheese-ify anything you shoot at.
@@carlwheezerofsouls3273 agreeded. just so satisfying.
Replying to boost so he sees this.
i think we can all agree that if a gun can't delete half a ship with a single shell then it isn't big enough
Yes if it doesn't delete half just add more boom
If it can't atomize half a ship then you're not trying hard enough.
Mine don't even do damage
Correction if it can only delete half a ship it isn't big enough
USS Iowa nuke shells chilling on the sidelines
"5 million damage cannon is cool and all but... what of we had two?"
Lath: "way ahead of you!"
why not five
A flying castle with a stupidly powerful cannon at the bottom.
I actually want to see how that would look like :)
A Blackstone Fortress, perhaps?
A flying citadel of d00m! Complete with a Throne ro0m
The great throne of dong
A flying castle, with stupid weapons... this should definitely be called Takeshi's Casatle!
I kinda made something like that, but rather than a CRAM as the cannon it was a 500mm APS firing 8m explosive shells at 2400 rpm
Lathrix: To show you the power of CRAM i cut this boat in half...
Lathrix: Twice
Phill: Now thats a lot of damage

"the only true cure to a hangover is explosions" I really, REALY hope your aunt didn't drink a lot
I hope she did drink a lot. And that she lived far away from any cities, towns, neighborhoods, other houses in general, those sort of things.
I hope she did...in a good way. She sounds like she'd be fun to be around.
Well then it sounds like were taking the a trip to the bombshelter bar for a cupple drinks
The best cure is more alcohol

-Every Ork ever
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARHHHH
I'd imagine this cram would be called something along the lines of "da big 'splodah
this is sutch an orky craft
insert orks falling over cause false bullet.
Speaking of Orks. One day I would try to make a Ork space hulk in FTD imaging having different FTD ship all slammed into one a other and filled the holes with armor and gun. That thing would be op AF and would probably crash the game but god would it be fun.
More _?drunk?_ (does hangover count?) designer mode! Nice. Also very vertical from the thumbnail.
8:19 Or maximum diameter. As in, I think you broke almost all blocks that could be destroyed, so a lot of damage got "wasted".
9:51 IIRC the cap is 30-35 something meters for the actual explosion. The one in the stat card is how distant a near miss can be from a craft for the explosion centre to "snap" on it. Which kind of nerfs flak, but definitely buffs most explosive based weapons.
Honestly, I'm seeing this thing as like a flying Chaos Warshrine, the monsters holding it replaced by just a base of fire. Just needs the standard on top and the horns sweeping forward from the middle. Already got the eyes XD. Also much love for inspiring me to really getting into FTD, having a blast right now making a "bomber airship"
Foul heretics
Welcome to the never ending back and forth of "does that look right?" That this game offera
Dang I got from the depths a while ago but i just got so over whelmed that I stoped playing, but now I have free time I’m thinking about trying again but should I?
@@Zenith_Deus take it slow and focus on simple ships with simple designs squares are your friend for hulls. Then work on grebles and basic shaping. Once those are mastered to your happiness then try to get the cannons that spit bullets all over your enemies face and delete them. Once you know that then you can get into mimic craft and make the hyper realistic stuff. The AI faction ships are a great place to start, tear them apart in designer then retrofit them before making your own to get an idea of basic concepts
What if the horns were cram mortars
I would love to see twin barrel DOOM cannons. Since it is such a big craft I would say utilitarian missiles or AA style Advanced cannons on both sides embedded in the armor plating.
13:11 "Look at this dude- Half the ship is missing, oh no." - Some poor soul that was hit by a single shot from the Doom CRAM
I'm a FTD noob, and I struggle so much with CRAM cannons. Missiles? Easy peasy. Advanced Cannons? Surprisingly intuitive. CRAM? 60+ second reloads to hit for
If your reloads are 60 seconds just lower how many payload compactors your cannon has. The strength of the CRAM shell is directly proportional to only two things;
reload time (affected by gauge and payload compactors)
And amount of pellets.
As long as your cannon has enough pellet-packer connections and a specific reload time it will always do the same amount of damage no matter what.
Here’s a tip though; most people who make CRAM craft make them bulky and slow. Don’t do that. Far too easy to counter. CRAMS don’t explode when they get damaged anyway, and because CRAMS aren’t of use at long range or against something fast or erratic, you want to get as close to the enemy as possible before firing. To do this, your craft must be streamlined and fast, when you work out how to get that done CRAMS suddenly become a lot more lethal.
in the words of the meta nerds "cram is bad don't use it" when u get better go back to it thats basically how the game works learning wise
Cram is easy to get working properly but hard to master. Advanced cannons are just a bit harder to learn the details but much easier to customize to your desires IMO
Check out Borderwise here on UA-cam, lath name dropped him a while back because his cram tutorials were so invaluable to understanding the doomcram. I don't recall if he came up with the name, but, he's the one that introduced me to the term. He's got a bunch of stuff done it from theory to the Tetris and such. Also, he's a great dude, I highly recommend his channel and hold him in high regard.
Cheers, m8, and gl on the cramination!
ya overall thoies days cram is a hard to master weapon, just sit in sandbom and work on making the tetras better till you got some good stuff
The final version of this ship at the end of the video would look great flipped on its side.
It looks great as is
Both. Both is good
i am so untalented at ftd but love watching lathrix play it
same
Yeah you're hiting a radious cap. With that size I think you could go for a he/frag mix since the frag doesnt have max radious.
+1
does it have a max fragment number though? send shells that end up firing 2000 fragments or something?
@@carlwheezerofsouls3273 it caps out at 60 fragments. Any more will increaze the damage of each fragment. The point is that the HE have a hidden max radious but oblitterate anything inside it at large sizes. At a sertain point any more he is wasted. If you max out he and go with frag from that point you get max explosion and more damage compared to pure he
@@MrEuklides As I recall, the current radius cap for HE damage to blocks is 35m, while the previous cap several years ago was 11m. Explosives can however do damage to entities beyond that cap (so missiles and Rambot basically).
@@JabberwockOclock 35 sounds about right when you look at hole in the ships
Crams are fun, sadly anything that moves faster then a potato will dodge em.
Combine with EMP missiles to paralyze opponents before firing the doom cram?
@@wolf2403 So use a secondary weapon as the main weapon, that's how "good" crams are :P They are fun but just so shit.
@@ainumahtar More like using different systems to supplement eachother
@@ainumahtarIt’s a finisher, or you ram into the enemy and slam the cram into the,
i think the doom cram would look better if its made into a front part of long space frigate like in warhammer 40k to make it more intimidating
The versions seen starting at 14:11 remind me of the Taiidan support frigate from Homeworld... but with a giant gun
comments for the Algothrix
You know it's a cram cannon when you build the big ass gun and then “build a boat around it”😂😂
I feel like this craft is just some old guy who hates all the fancy new weapons and just wants to throw big rocks at the enemy.
NGL I kinda wanna see you take the entire thing, copy it again, flip that on its side and merge the two together into a quad doom cram, Plus Sign of death *(+)* XD
I was thinking an "H" of death.
Expand the platform a little and you can make this thing into an aircraft carrier, one that flies and is exceedingly well armed for both offense and defense.
I'd love to see a doom railgun that just annhilates a craft (probably a separate build), and for this one, I like the idea of only using missiles as anti missile defense.
Even a 500mm 8m railgun shell will never be able to do close to the damage a doomcram can. The only way to make it on the same level of destruction is if you made it seriously massive by amplifying the firerate, but an APS system will simply never do the damage a CRAM one will for size and certainly not cost.
Advanced cannons are way more expensive than cram cannons and I feel like if your were to make a doom railgun it would have to be even bigger than the doom cram and have 500mm shells which fire with a burst at like 500rpm. Hell why not raise that to 1000rpm.
Doom railgun you say?
Keep it , maybe a mini tower off the end of each "wing". You could call it Lathcram's Folly
Reminds me of a ship you might build in the game Airships: Conquer the Skies. Love it!
havent watched you in forever, come back and see a massive shell burst into a massive explosion with a drunk lathrix laughing maniacally in the background
never change lathrix
I could see this as just a massive thing flying over the horizon. While planes held by their back flop forward and fly out; simultaneously hundreds of tiny cannons open fire in a brilliant explosive volley, then we finally have the massive cannon. Opening up and firing fragmentation through an entire ship utterly decimating it’s interior. But as the enemy fleet is on it’s last legs. We cease fire, and open to four absolutely massive missiles that open up to tens of medium sized missiles, said missiles slowly cross the gap and finally open up into hundreds of sun blotting mini missiles. So. Dang. Cool
Your aunt is a wise woman.
Lathrix: Tell me what weapons this thing should ha-
Me: MISSILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
love your from the depths videos!!! keep up the amazing work!!!
I'm a fan of that slight pause in the line "Oh dearie me, you're missing you're... everything" - just adds the perfect amount of emphasis.
Also you should fit the two gun platforms side by side under the bottom of the platform, and build that castle you mentioned (with AI and stuff inside it).
If i recall correctly, CRAM cannons have a capped explosion radius (or diameter? probably diameter) of 50 meters.
There's also the problem of, while the shell make be *able* to do 5 million damage, there simply isn't enough ship to make use of ALL 5 million damage within the radius.
Lathland : What kind of weapons should this craft have?
The whole community : YES!
That is insane. You should call it the doombringer.
id love to see this thing use a massive emp. just watching the lightning rip through things is super satifying
lathrix: loads gun with malicious intent
crew: sir what do we do now sir
lath: make that enemy craft into a pile of scrap
crew: sir isn't that a overkill with those canons
BANG
lath: too late
there's no such thing like overkill only varying degrees of certainty. Be.Damn.Certain.
"The only real cure for hangovers is *explosions"* -Lathrix's Aunt
From the Depths limits the explosion radius to 30 meters from the center of the explosion, if I recall correctly. I always build "big boomers" to 30 meters radius, and use secondary effects like fragmentation, flak (for advanced cannons, which have a separate 30 meter cap), or EMP to fill up the rest of the damage.
HE is always my primary method of dealing damage, because of how reliable it is. It will *always* hurt something.
With the big flat platform on top, it looks like be a great aircraft carrier. Imagine being the enemy, and seeing this big flying T come at you with tiny little drones swarming your position and all of a sudden BOOM.
Rip and tear until it is DONE.
Intro starting with total mass destruction with no survivors followed by laughter: yep, that’s Lathrix
doom cram 2: Electric boogaloo!
I personally think that we need more unconventional design ships; namely the "sunfish cannon" style with a platform separating the two, hovering in place. A scaled-down version of this ship would be awesome to watch in actual combat; maybe as a successor to the Medrengard if you upscale it just enough to have a front covered in guns and weapons
If they ever increase the max size of cram cannons we are going to have to start calling them loom crams because of the shadow that they cast over a enemy ship.
After years of From The Depth i am still so inlove with this game
Big boom=big good
Yes more boom
Here's a though: flying castle with this thing hanging off the bottom. Tiny cannons as AA, but mostly uses a bunch of armor and shields as its defense with repair bots. Call it Nurgle's Altar.
Hail the algorithm
I'm of the opinion that massive missiles with massive cram is the best compliment to its explosive glory :)
Make a doom cram drone that kites really far and is swarm
Imgaging 10 doom crams and all hiring a ship
Maybe small doom cram drones for this ship even
A powerful doomcram needs a ship worth at minimum 150K mats to house it, it would be a bit awkward to use them as a drone swarm kinda thing
something i think would be fun is hundreds of small missiles on the sides, a swarm of them simlilar to a ship you retrofitted in the last full campain playthrough. the ship may have been called the scourge, though i am not sure. keep up the good work, these videos are certainly fun to watch!
I like the idea of someone being hungover and play a game mainly about loud explosions and breakage.
IDK why but a BIG HONKING RAILGUN SHOTGUN just feels like the thing it needs, like a big 350 - 500 mm railgun shotgun that will vomit bullets in the enemy's general direction, causing mayhem, mabe slower, timed bullets with frag to decimate aircraft, boats and hope like they are butter on an ant nest
Honestly the music fits this so well especially 6 minutes in it fit very well
Lath, you should have it so it looks like a small floating city/castle that moves around on the water, then when an enemy appears, lights turn red and it rises out of the water to meet the opponent with a massive cannon.
So it's like an A-10 Warthog, a vehicle built around a massive gun.
The cram cannon alsp knows as the primitive missle
I like seeing the gun split. It's cool to see two massive doom shots instakill a ship
Sir, the enemy's boat has cannons!
Well luckily our cannon has a boat.
Fr
I know nothing about this game except that this is a fun watch. Big guns and explosions hell yeah! I’m kinda hooked and going to look into this game. Thanks!
Lathrix plays with explosives and 2000mm howitzers for 20 minutes straight. *I am happy now.*
"Did you hear of the ship that got it's whole left side blown up?"
"Oh my god, did it survive?"
"Yeah, don't worry, it is all right now!"
I love Gunns with ships around them. My favourites are somewhat glasscannony with enough defensive capacity to not get wasted bismark style, but still be a suportive second row shipp.
Two barrels make it a doom shotgun with a million tiny missiles as back up
Sees the thumbnail. Thinks to myself "Ohh a drunk Lathrix video, gotta see this..."
And for Lathrix's next trick, a flying castle... with a DOOOOOM Cram cannon complete with disco lights. It's starting to look like a villain vehicle from TRON.
Deliverer : how many payload compacter do you want exactly ?
Lathland : it depends on how many you have !
-and to answer your question : i think it could use a little AA batterie ( like a fast firing machine gun ) to make it more polyvalent.
Two doom CRAMs. I love the mega explosions, but if you feel like you've passed some soft cap in size vs results, you could scale them down a little. Then throw in some small, accurate weapons to target propulsion. When you're reliant on two giant cannons, you don't want the target moving around a lot.
flip it on its side, and build a castle on it. make it your base of operations in campain.
2 ftd videos in a matter of few days ? that must be a dream come true !
Love the vids man :)
Hey Lath, as far as I remember you said yourself some time ago that there's an 8 meter hard cap for explosives radius, which was why you never really got into Crams!
Castle on top. make it the flag ship of the lathrixian nation. Call it the Doom Harbinger
I personally like the completely flat top section. I know it's boring but that Is exactly what sells it for me. "There are many things above me, but below me there is none!"
Honestly looking back lathrix is who sent me down the spiral of 40k XD
Way back with his nurgle campaign playthrough way back
I've been waiting for a doom cram for as long as I've been watching lathrix
So this is basically how the A10 was made. They couldn’t house the GAU-8 under the aircraft cause the recoil was so high it pushed them off target so they built the A10 around the GAU-8 to its current design
3:37 That's just a straight-up mood.
to show you the power of flex tape i sawed this boat in half
Lathrix don't forget there is a test mode to see Penetration and stuff for Ballistic Weapons. I can't remember if it works for Cram though.
For some reason, I'm reminded of star-wars when I see that ship. More than that, though, the combination of size, central superstructures, and large flat surface reminds me of some sort of mother ship. So, rather than giving it secondary weapons, why not turn it's flat section into a flight deck. Have a complement of fighters, bombers, and resource harvesters to go with your DOOM CRAM.
Alternatively, since we're already doing silly and impractical weapons, why not go with a KKV. If you haven't heard of them before, the trick is to spawn a projectile in front of an advanced cannon that's been setup to use graviton rams. The cannon then launches the spawned projectile at ridiculous speeds and, because the projectile has WAY more mass than a normal bullet, it does silly damage on impact.
Either option would also give you an excuse to play with the new connection blocks.
Your Aunt sounds wise beyond her years. Explosions are a cure for everything, if it isn't, you are not using enough.
I'm a simple man. Lath makes DOOM CRAM. I hit like.
Honestly i would say that missiles would make for a better 1-2 punch with the cannon, as the cannon tends to mess up a lot of defensive systems, maybe stick some large or huge missiles on it
Lathrix: making a doom cannon in FTD
UA-cam: ah yes this must be minecraft
Lathland is definitely a human(space orc) from HFY stories. That slug thrower is so dangerous
Mini particle cannons for fast fliers. A combo of EMP and Piercing. Solves the ammo use of the main cannon.
Pls mix frag and explosive.
I would also love to see, how devastating a Doom Emp cram would be.
Love it!
Tyvm for doing more FTD content. I missed it horribly.
Would be cool to add on some cluster missiles as the finishing weapon?
Or hell even as a starting shot could shoot out a big emp cluster missile and knock out movement and then smack them with the death cannon
Really cool craft, I think it might even look cooler if u were to rotate it 90 degrees so it’s on its side and looks kinda like a flying wing. That might also help the dual main cannons spread damage around more.
I love the design of the ship! You sould make both end of the ship end in sharp ponts so it looks like floating blade shooting death.
I am always happy when a lathrix video comes across my feed
I think a Giant cram with a full set of mirrored missile silos on each side that could be cluster or maybe a volley of large missiles such as Emp or pure explosive. Loved the death cannon and looking to the sequel
Honestly, a ship just lined with cram cannons of all different sizes would be really cool
Hey lath next time you do a campaign do challenge that makes you have to build ships that exist in real life like carriers,cruisers,destroyer etc it would be nice to see a challenge like this.
I feel that giving the ship more cram would be redundant. I feel that giving it something that can exploit the large hole that the megacram would make. Maybe Advanced cannons?
It'd make a good Carrier I think. The small Drones could provide the main ship with adequate cover and support fire. All the main ship would need is Anti-Missile Systems of sorts if that's your jam.
I genuinely think you should slap a ton of tiny cram artillery on the top of of the flat platform, and line the underside with point defense MG's for missiles/fast & tiny aircraft. The 6 CRAMs on the bottom should run EMP. A flying artillery fortress. Glory to Chaos!
This ship seems like it should have its own theme
This looks like a flying fortress. An absolute unit.
