What is the reason for the slanted mounting on warship. It brings to mind the Sea Zenith mount, but I can't see how it would work.turkish SPAAG - Korkut and naval (?) system
Though that can create other problems that could ultimately end up outweighing the benefits, such as lack of proper marinisation.Directly using the land based system lowers purchase, development and through life costs.

Beyond they all throw scary RPM, okay, RPS, how do their auto-load mechanics / feed paths compare ??
Um, I take it those barrel-shrouds are variations on a water-cooling theme ?

Here's the 'Gokdeniz' naval variant during development, though I don't believe the slant will be a feature.

It was exported to Turkmenistan for their corvettes, note no slant.

Pakistan was sent one for testing, impressed they selected it for their corvette program.
Turkey is also developing a multi-purpose single barrel 35mm weapon system, point defence for naval and land use.

Rheinmetall modernizing Skyguard 35mm air defence systems – order value in the three-digit million-euro range
An international customer has contracted with Rheinmetall to modernize its 35mm cannon-based air defence systems. The order also includes ammunition and other components for the modernized Skyguard air defence batteries. Work will start in 2023. The contract is worth a figure in the low three-digit million-euro range.
Rheinmetall is upgrading the customer's 35mm twin guns, bringing them up to the latest Oerlikon GDF009 standard, which will be capable of using AHEAD airburst ammunition. This will enable the country to protect itself and its vital assets from a wide range of aerial threats, including small unmanned aerial systems. Rheinmetall Italia is handling the order.
