So im in a bit of a bind with one of my naval vessels right now, and i could use some help. This is regarding a destroyer i am building at the moment. Here is a photo of the vessel. PM me if interested in joint construction or whatever it's called. Further details will be provided.

were going navy eh? got a few of my own as well

If so, then we may have been making tanks wrong....

Is this based off of cannon or missile damage?

Hey, BD armory deals damage based on temperature right?

No actually. There shouldn't be any locked parts that I know of. Have you tried opening the craft file in-game to figure out the requested part directory that is missing? I may be able to help y'all from there. Edit 5/17/16 9:52 : Ah, i see why. You're missing the logo i had put on the tank. I intended to remove it, but i think i may have accidentally saved the tank with the logo still on. Whoops. I'll get that fixed soon. Edit 5/17/16 10:06 : Just updated the Craft to not include the logo on it and uploaded the logo in case any further mistakes like this occur.

Actual new tank development of the Jacob class: The Mk IV variant of the Jacob class (now a light tank due to it's renewed size), this tank offers superior protection, durability and maneuverability compared to the former MK II. A Mk III had been developed, promising heavier armor and durability with it. However, the project had instead spurned only system upgrades. This variant now costs much less to produce and only uses 230 parts, weighing only 20.56 pounds. It also has been equipped with an additional layer of armor to improve protection. However, due to it's small size, no room had been left for a cockpit to be added. Therfore, GME has instead fitted the Jacob Class with a standalone probe core to pilot the Tank. However, should the need arise, Grey Empire Co. will supply a manned variant in order to meet demand. The MK IV Jacob Class Tank houses an armament of one 30mm Chain gun to soften armor and an Abrams Cannon to obliterate it. With the new variant comes a superior targeting system (whereas the MK II had none at all), capable of matching the Wolverine 1A1. Hopefully this will be the last upgrade i will need to make to this tank....

Thank you for your advice.

New tank came out from the protoype stage today. Probably going to be posting this soon onto dropbox within the zip files i have up there. Was listening to the Soviet National Anthem when making this beast btw. Will update this post when completed with specifications. Edit: 05/12/16 I have changed my mind. I do believe that this Russian based tank will be to stronk for HKA forces, therefore ruining the series. Actually the tank had just caused a bit too many problems for me....Had to shut the project down.

Oi! What's wrong with the french? (lol)

More Craft have emerged.... XIF-29 'gunstar' A 2 seat long-range interceptor/fighter designed to be able to deploy from distant airbases and get to the battlefield at high altitudes. She has a main propulsion system of 2 panthers and 1 whiplash engine. The two panther engines are designed to be used for low altitude combat while to whiplash engine is used for high altitude traverse and engagements. Alternatively, the pilot can activate all 3 engines at the same time to increase the pilots speed during engagements at the cost of the planes turn-rate. On take off, the pilot is to activate afterburner on the 2 panthers and ascend to above 10km, turning of the afterburner after a short period of time when the craft has gained speed and turn of the panthers afterward when air intake is not enough to sustain them, leaving the whiplash to carry the fighter to cruising altitude. The gunstar has an armarment of 4 sidewinder missiles and 2 AMRAAM long range missiles, along with 2 hidden vulcan cannons. XF-582 'pilon' (pronounced pylon) A short range defensive fighter designed to protect key military installations. It's small size, high turning rate, and high speed makes it a relatively hard target to hit. However, because of it's small size, it cannot go very far without needing a refuel, but because of the aforementioned small size, it is easy to produce them in masses (lets see how many people say "GMI must construct more pilons" in this thread and in upcoming videos). The pilon is propelled by 2 panther engines, giving it a TWR of about 2, and is equipped with 6 sidewinder missiles and 2 browning .50cals. B-52 Stratafortress A high altitude bomber that carries a single rotary load of 1000Ib JDAM bombs. It has the same range as the 'gunstar', making the two planes inseparable from each-other; if you see one of these, you can bet that your going to see some 'gunstars'. In order to use her bomb compliment, the B-52 is equipped with a targeting pod. However, by using this targeting pod, the B-52 is left out in the open, but this does not make her defenseless. She is equipped with 3 Chain guns (2 waist-gunners, 1 tailgunner and 1 front gunner) and 2 .50cal turrets (1 top 1 bottom), giving her a 360 angle of attack in all directions. Derek Anti-air missile system: its basically just a patriot missile launcher on top of a moving wagon. What else is there to say? Comes with it's own radar. Not sure what else to say here.... It comes with cup holders? Jacob Heavy tank: A fearsome beast of a tank weighing in at 46 tons with 377 parts. She comes equipped with 4 M230s on each of her four corners and a single abrams cannon attached to her top. However, unlike previous models, where we could get away with covering the tank treads, these have had their covering removed in order to increase mobility. It also cannot go up steep inclines like some of the ones located at KSC, due to it's large size, therfore having to select optimal routes for it to traverse. Also, try not to go to fast down or up slopes. The tires may break. Camelback Infantry Tank: The GME's response to Cytan's Vikus, the Camelback is an infantry mobilization vehicle designed to carry troops across a battlefield with minimal loss of life to the vehicle occupants. It is equipped with 2 anti-tank turrets mounted with tow missiles and a single Oerlikon Millennium Cannon mount on top, like the Vikus. However, this vehicle wouldn't be a viable response if the Camelback wasn't superior. This vehicle boasts a triple layered armor system and the 2 aforementioned anti tank turrets mounted on the front, providing protection from enemy tanks as the Camelback moves forward. Also, it comes with a coffee machine. ---------------------------------------------------- Hopefully these will be a match for HKA's advance across the continent.

You can say that again. I had been working on replacements for my current series of fighters, interceptors, bombers, etc., but school had become a major priority at the moment due to finals creeping up. Still, HKA should prove to be a worthy foe to face in battle. Looking forward to it as well compadre.

Geez.... I've been away for too long...

Finally, one of my new ships is finished! Introducing the tungstun, one of GME's most unique ships produced. A lightly armored destroyer with 372 parts, armed with the default of 4 GME penetration torpedoes and a battering ram. She has a propulsion system of 4 LV-T30 engines along with VTOL engines of the same make. She is capable of landing and taking off on bodies with similar gravity to kerbin, provided that there is no atmosphere to get in the way. Her design was inspired by the crystalline class that had been created months before, only this one is provided with a lighter build while being able to maneuver quickly between positions on the battlefield. Hopefully, many of these will be inducted into service against the HKA alliance. sorry if im breaking the fourm rules here. Im not sure if i understood them correctly when he said that we should post an update whenever we have new crafts. if i am mistaken, feel free to correct me.

That's no battleship....

Something new approaches......

Glad to see your back on track. Keep up the great work!

Not just the Avacyn........ When I'm through with this super dreadnought....... No one is safe.....

I was recently sent this video from an unknown source from an escapee of a prison ship near laythe. It appears to be a dramatization of his capture, from the initial purpose to the capture itself. It is not known if the other member survived or not, but this presents a worrying situation. As for the prison ship and laythe, I have yet to uncover the truth. Downloading .AVI file ....... .............. ................................... Download complete. File ready for viewing. (Just wanted to follow up on a promise I made a while ago in this thread. I don't like to break promises. Also, this is not self promotion guys, I just want to play along. If HATBAT asks me to take this down, I will comply completely. Thank you for reading.)

So um, hatbat. Considering your latest episode, what would be the rules for vessels that are made for planetary bodies lacking an atmosphere?

Hence the MAYBE.

I better get on something to counter that quick! Maybe a certain super dreadnought will do.....

I was able to acquire a sketch from a prisoner aboard one of my prisoner transports around laythe. What I see in it is worrying to me. I don't know what this means, but it worries me greatly. Perhaps you guys could make something from it. Signing off for now, grey

Thanks mate. Really appreciate it.

Hey hatbat? What do you use to get the kerbal voices in your videos? I'm trying to make a teaser for a craft that I'm going to submit and I don't know where to begin with it.
