Vestalihy addresses a common gap in mechanical warfare mods: the lack of precise aiming tools for artillery and ballistic weapons. Players using Create Big Cannons, Create Aeronautics, or Sable often struggle to align shots at long range or moving targets. This mod provides parallax-corrected tank sights that account for pitch, allowing you to adjust your aim based on your vehicle's tilt. It is intended for builders and engineers who want more control over their cannon fire without relying on guesswork.

Additionally, Vestalihy introduces a functional Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM). This wire-guided projectile is designed for direct engagement against stationary or slow-moving armored targets. It requires line-of-sight guidance and has a limited flight time, making it less effective against fast aircraft or distant targets. The ATGM is not a fire-and-forget weapon; you must maintain visual contact and manual control throughout the flight.

Key features include:

Custom tank sight renderer that supports pitch-based elevation adjustment for Create Big Cannons, Create Aeronautics, and Sable cannons.
Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) entity with guidance via crosshair tracking and a visible control wire.
Compatibility with the Synaxis mod: the ATGM can be controlled from a Control_chair seat, enabling remote operation.
Configurable sight scaling and reticle style through mod config files.
No dependency on other mods beyond Minecraft and Forge (or NeoForge) – works standalone with the listed mods.

Requirements: Vestalihy requires Minecraft 1.20.1 (or later) and the appropriate mod loader (Forge 47+ or NeoForge 21+). You must have Create Big Cannons, Create Aeronautics, or Sable installed to use the tank sight. The ATGM works independently but gains Synaxis integration if that mod is present. Performance impact is minimal; occasional FPS drops may occur when multiple ATGMs are in flight. The mod does not add any new ores, blocks, or worldgen.
