So I know some of you play this game. I know a lot of you who do use the armory mod.
I'll start out with my bomb truck/ gun ship.
It has two 105mm howitzers firing out the nose as well as a pair of 20mm vulcans. It sports 4 .50cal turrets for 360 degree defense. It has four AIM-120's and two AIM-9's.
It features enough Mk82's to level most areas as well as 5 Mk 83's internally to ensure total bombardment. It carries 12 AGM's and six rocket pods.
Can't have enough bombs.
Direct hit on the launch pad with a mass of Mk82's
Not to self, don't go into a dive while under full power and release bombs... having all the bombs under the wings detonate at once is not a pleasant experience.
I'll revive your thread for you with a cobra.
>>27818874
>>27818880
what mod has those thin wings? I despise the high-profile wings in stock.
>>27816115
Jesus christ, that's disgusting.
Go get procedural wings mod right fucking now.
>>27818880
>Those canards
>Moving in the opposite direction they would in the maneuvers being made
What a great mod that must be
>>27820110
That's not a mod issue, it's a user issue.
In these threads I always tell people to properly set up their control surfaces, and get shouted down and called a sperg. Well bucko, that image is a perfect fucking example of why you need to set up your control surfaces. 2 seconds clicking buttons in the hangar is all it takes to fix it.
If this thread is still alive tonight I'll post my shit
>>27820110
>>27820195
Guy who made those webms here.
You guys are both wrong. Those planes were made for FAR mod. The canards automatically turn to minimize their AoA. It helps keep control and prevents stalling at high AoAs.
Here's the Su-33 doing the same thing:

Dumping the /k/-related stuff I've been working on.
Here's my bomb truck.
>>27821389
I forgot to load it up before I took it out but it has 10 hardpoints on the wings and another one under the hull for holding the big stuff.
>>27821401
The front-mounted bubble cockpit is really comfy.
>>27821424
I also made this little guy.
Got a belly-mounted targeting ball, 6x .50 cal mgs, and 6 GPS glide bombs.
>>27821443
And by 6 glide bombs I meant 8.
>>27821457
Also this.
Its pretty sweet.
>>27821469
It flies pretty well
>>27821482
Turret aims at whatever the currently designated target is.
I made this, gave it a steel I-Beam warhead, made short work of the space centre. Had a pretty impressive speed and range too.

procedural wings
Part of my new line up of fighters, The 'Einherjar' Multirole. It's basically an F-18 that fucked a Tomcat.
Also, will 1.0.5 break my mods? I'm kinda scared to login to steam
>>27823661
Slightly better angle of the profile
>>27823661
it shouldn't, no changes to the game's backend.
1.1 will break mods though.
>>27823696
Also. if there ever was a KSP equivalent to "HIGH SPEED LOW DRAG OPERATING", it's definitely Raster Prop Monitor
I have an idea
What if we put an automatic nade launcher (north kerbin dynamics iirc) and use it to kill aircraft at short range
>>27823755
Thanks senpai, going to load up KSP and snap some more pics
>Pic related, my mods list
>>27823765
So basically flak?
>>27823765
forgot to say I should use it as an auto cannon
there is a modular gun pod and it allows for something like that
>>27823824
Practically, it sounds a bit silly...
...but it also sounds awesome, do it.
>>27823883
ran out of ammo
>>27823807
This is the Hiemdall, the air superiority counterpart to the Einherjar. 1 20mm vulcan, 8 aim-9's and 4 aim-120's.
>>27823946
>>27823971
Internal view with RPM and Vessel Viewer
>>27823998
Keeping in line with my hybrid tendencies, The Heimdall kinda looks like an F18 Fucked a Fighting Falcon in my eyes
>>27823998
Also made a BRRT cannon replica
>>27824139
I'd say it's pretty accurate to the real thing. Flies quite well surprisingly

This is the Hercules MBT. Does anyone else find tanks really hard to design in KSP?
M1 turrets are pretty damn good in BDArmoury...

Lets chase down a bomber with a Hiemdall!
Didn't end so well for the bomber, missiles in BDArmoury are just easy mode
>>27824584
thanks m8!
the lead required to hit a plane was ridiculous
>>27824639
Using RPM too? It's a shame that there's no support for BDArmoury.
Are there any other mods that complement, add-on, or at least work well with BD Armory?
>>27824663
Loads of add on weapons. North Kerbin dynamics adds nukes. There's a WW2 weapons mod floating around as well. tons more I haven't listed
Anyone play From the Depths?
Shit looks really fun.
>>27824653

>>27824848
BahamutoD just made a new mod that allows you to move aircraft around. Put the aircraft on the grass to the side of the runway and spawn in as many as you want.
http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/137438-1-0-4-VesselMover-v1-1
This is a little funny thing I made. Isn't it adorable?
>>27824921
It uses the BahamutoDynamics Critter Crawler legs. They have a built in rocket and sticky feet capability.
It also has two .50 cal turrets. The docking port is so I'll be able to attach it to a dropship of sorts. I can then drop them in flight and have them attack a base.
>>27824910
Awesome, Thanks. That was the main reason I had gotten bored of it, attacking the same buildings and not being able to do air to air fights.

Dropship with Madcat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HD6dlLTLsA
It started life as a simple AWACS but quickly it got a set of 105's, 30mm's and eight cluster munitions. Of course, a pair of AIM-120's and a pair of AIM-9's coupled with its array of .50 cal turrets finish off its defensive capabilities.
>>27825443
watch out for Urbanmech
>>27824943
Its a small attack plane.
The GAU-8 wasn't enough so it got more DAKKA in a 105 poking out the nose. To which it uses to great affect.
Maverick's make quick work of my targets.

>>27829609
Haven't played KSP in months, this thread makes me excited.
Did some updates to my small attack craft. Its turned into a little bomb truck.
12 Mk 82 Snakeeyes and 3 jdams, with either 4 or six mavericks. Add in the already impressive GAU 8 and 105mm Howitzer. You have a craft capable of making anything wish it was dead.
>>27830129
how well does it turn?
>>27830187
Surprisingly well. the roll rate is rather impressive, take off roll is short as well.
Who else is excited for the Panther engines in 1.0.5? They look really good
>Huge range of Gimbal
>Fucking afterburners
It's faster than a wheesly, but a bit slower than a whiplash, it's nice that we're actually getting a proper fighter jet engine.
>>27830238
Reminiscent of the engine in Bahamuto dynamics
>>27830278
Yeah, I'm using the Vector to test my craft for the Panther, I believe they have similar stats

So, if a KSP modder was able to eventually make multiplayer interstellar combat possible, should /k/ have a server?
>>27830835
good god
>>27830764
I just assumed they were broken now, I had them a while back but after a few updates they stopped working, I haven't really checked since. I'll give it a go, I hope it works since I could build half track rovers.
Which made my pee pee feel funny.
>>27830835
>interstellar combat
It'd be dull.
Planetside combat in a city/air? Yes. Yes please.
>>27830927
Hmm, good point. But many mods have FTL drives and Warp systems. It could still be fun. It would be so fun to drop out of space into a planets atmosphere and attack an enemy base on the ground.

>>27832587
Does KSP simulate spalling?
>>27833227
No, but BDArmory works by overheating things until they explode. The Metal Plates anon used have a very high heat tolerance, so they are more resistant to BDA weapons.
Does anyone have any battle frigates they'd like to share? I need some inspiration for a project.

BANZAAAI
>>27833347
To be truthful though, it only took a couple hits from the 30mm chain gun to destroy them sadly.
>>27833592
Well that's BDA for you, it's OP as fuck. I'd like someone to balance the mod a bit better.
>>27833652
That would be nice. I mean it can destroy those plates like nothing, and the M1 turret can take down most buildings no problem, but hit the VAB with it, and at times it just laughs off the hits, even from a Mk83. Usually the only way to destroy the VAB for me is sustained fire with heavy ordinance.

>Valentinas face when

Kek, didn't see that until you mentioned it
What happens when you hit the magazine on the Maus with a 105. Took two hits to do it though. First one to blast off the armor, then another to make the magazine go boom.
Seriously, this thing is still exploding.
Maybe I put in too much Dakka...
>>27834610
I didn't even know you could detonate ammo racks with BDArmory.

Okay, the mods are assholes at this point.
To Be Honest is now autocorrected to DESU?
Seriously mods, you are a bunch of faggots.
In other news. To give you an idea. The entire area behind the cockpit to the radar dish is filled with ammo for this thing. I probably have enough ammo to start WW 3, 4 and 5 in this thing.

Does kerbal model lift from the wings and how the control surfaces work in atmosphere? Or is it all thrust vectoring and gravity?
>>27835175
Yes, the wings and control surfaces work. Though the modeling is still kinda brute force, though there are mods that refine it.
Every plane needs thrust vectoring.

the rest of the evidence involves the TOS, but if you do decide to take a look, you'll notice Squad is functioning under a different legal entity
What else would you like to know about? Here's the producer showing up and gloating recently
imgur.com/a/XZsT3
>>27835648
What, you don't believe that KSP was developed by Mexicans? Or is it the part about Squad being one of Mexico City's biggest ad firms? You can figure that out by visiting the advertising company's website, and looking at their past projects.
Perhaps it's the part about them spending little to none of their money on development, and funneling the rest off shore that you don't believe? Read the TOS - KSP isn't technically owned by Squad, despite being developed by them, and advertised by them. KSP is owned by a company that is stationed in the Netherlands, and happens to have it's HQ in a building that is occupied almost completely by shell companies used for tax evasion purposes. KSP has sold well over 1 million units, and has been, for most of it's sales history, more than $20 US per copy. If you really, honestly believe that KSP was developed with even a quarter of that going back into development costs (as they, ostensibly would be for an early access title like KSP was when they had their millionth sale,) for a development team that frequently had no more than 8 members at their most populous of times?

>>27850543
It's good. Works with most mods. New panther engine is pretty cool. Nice new parts and new models for existing parts. Only problem I have now is that they made the Whiplash engines a lot bigger lengthways, so a few of my designs need readjusting, and the mk1 cockpit replacement broke a design I loved as well.
Good all round though.
>>27850586
Good deal. It's been a while so the only mods I remember to get are MechJeb and B9. Any other must haves?
>>27850602
Just a note, B9 hasn't officially been updated, but a modder has made an experimental 1.0 version. It's in the thread comments somewhere.
