Right, so after some chat with Piratejoe on Discord, we can achieve following on Normal difficulty:

"Let's fix the cannons" revision
LFTC revision is rather simple. Since problems with both Tauret (Trivial) and Sekhmet (Normal) are relatively easy to fix, we work on both. Tauret just needs a new shell. From that, we can work on working why the hell do shells on Sekhmet get stuck. Once we got that down, we can work on the overheating problem. Basically, this revision aims to bring both guns, which are individually relatively easy to fix, back to their original specifications.

Following is extra, but would be Hard

"Let's fix the cannons" revision with Flares
LFTC revision is rather simple. Since problems with both Tauret (Trivial) and Sekhmet (Normal) are relatively easy to fix, we work on both. Tauret just needs a new shell. From that, we can work on working why the hell do shells on Sekhmet get stuck. Once we got that down, we can work on the overheating problem. Basically, this revision aims to bring both guns, which are individually relatively easy to fix, back to their original specifications. Also, make some flares. The order in which all these tasks are completed is as follows:

• Working Tauret
• Jamming with Sekhmet
• Overheating with Sekhment
• Flares
• AP shells
• Shield

For fucks sake, yet another one?

We need to get better goats.

That seems like a good one Mandemon, doubly so for the first.

I don't want to risk having this hard, so I am (for now) going without flares. Even if they would be massive boost to us. Also, Thanik/Nik asked to move his vote.

Switching my vote since we could give an order of priorities, I have set priority so that we get primary goals first, then extra.

Hard: 6
QF Tauret Field Artillery Piece model 1898: Well, we managed to do it, and when I say do it, I mean do it all. We managed to make flares, armour piercing shells, a shield to protect the crew, a proper shell that actually fits, the over heating fixed, the bullets fixed...everything. It was a bit close to finish the shield at the end, but we managed to do it with some time to spare and now we can gaze upon the fruits of our labor with pride. The Karikhitan navy will take a beating once we make a new ship to use the new artillery, and they will do us well on the ground front of war, especially with the flares to tell the crews where to fire while they remain safe behind our lines. This combined with the new heavy machine gun like revolver cannon actually working, will prove to hit Karikhita where it hurts!

It is now the Battle Phase, Project Hippo is finally a resounding success, and the Pharaoh is quite pleased with the results, even if it took a while.

[Mandemon]

Aww hell yes, we have the most advanced artillery piece in the world AND we got a working auto cannon.

[NAV]

I concede that I was wrong.

Glorious revisions!

You missed the ammunition capacity for the 1.6" gun Thanik.

Belts, right? Probably 50-250 rounds per gun standard.
