BETA update

[TUKE 53]

Congrats, I've got my own BDA pack in development so i know how you feel.

[Yukon0009 2,701]

But can it blow up an asteriod ?

[JellyCubes 17]

I like how the MOAB (with an equivalent TNT yield of 11 tonnes) has a blast radius comparable to the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima (with an equivalent TNT yield of 15,000 tonnes).

[Thatdude253 34]

I dig the paveway. Not so hot on the larger ordanance (though the MOAB could give me a reason to build a c-130). More LGBs (and there are plenty out there) are definitely missing from BD armory

[Wolf Baginski 77]

The word is "ordnance"

An "ordinance" is a type of law, and the two should not be confused. Unless you are Judge Dredd and the results are funny.

[minepagan 497]

OMG PAVEWAY! *faints* OMG MOAB *faints again* OMG.....a......*heart attack*

Any chance of fixed guns, and/or small turrets? Like, a 20/30mm IFV turret, or at least fixed versions (just the barrel) for the 30mm and .50 cals?

On another note, HAVE A COOKIE! You have done 'MERCIA proud.

[kerbiloid 5,440]

"Heavy Ordnance".

.50 cal turret...

Got it: of course, you mean .50 cal with "californium bullets" !!!

[EdusacconBR 208]

what about FOAB?

[harpwner 263]

what about FOAB?

Great Idea! I've added that to the planned list, I think I'll get started on that after the B-61 Nuclear Bomb

OMG PAVEWAY! *faints* OMG MOAB *faints again* OMG.....a......*heart attack*

I dun served 'Murica proud!

OMG I feel very stupid, I just updated the post.. thank you for pointing out my error

That's what I get for posting a new thread at midnight!

I like how the MOAB (with an equivalent TNT yield of 11 tonnes) has a blast radius comparable to the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima (with an equivalent TNT yield of 15,000 tonnes).

Oh.... I added an extra zero... I meant to make the blast radius 180 meters...

I'm gonna go throw out a hotfix once I've had my coffee... and also edit the explosion effect!

[harpwner 263]

New Update released!

Version 0.1.1:

-Changed MOAB's blast radius to be more realistic

-Tweaked the explosion effect of the MOAB, looks way better now

Now all we need are nukes......MWAHAHA!!!!!

[harpwner 263]

Now all we need are nukes......MWAHAHA!!!!!

What if I told you

I'm already working on it

B-83 is on the way! it's extremely destructive!

[Feradose 49]

Tsar bomba please

[Mrpijus123 7]

Umm... the MOAB behaves rather strange after jettisoning it. It starts gaining speed while going upwards. Does it generate lift or is it that lightweight that it falls up?

[sashan 158]

As for turrets... Please make Il-76 styled tail turret, with a single-kerbal pod and inbuilt ammo storage. it has 2x òouble-barreled Gzh-23 cannons, 23mm, 3000rpm each, 700m/s muzzle velocity.

If you don't want to bother with IVA you can make this one, like on Tu-22:

This one has single R-23 cannon, 2500rpm, 23mm, 850m/s muzzle velocity.

Both should have 0.625 attach node for radar.

Want some more inspiration of jet-age turrets - see here:

[harpwner 263]

Tsar bomba please

Oh the Tsar.... that may cause problems with ksp loading... it may even make a reasonable dent in Kerbin!

I'll think about it

[sashan 158]

I'll think about it

Its damage radius is almost as large as Kerbin's. Way too much.

[harpwner 263]

so... a kerbin-buster it would be!

nah, if I do make it I'll balance it... maybe it'll be as bit as the BD physics range

[minepagan 497]

Awwww.......

Either way, there IS someone experimenting with terrain deformation....MWAHAHA........

Also, how about just picking a 'standard' nuke, a hydrogen bomb, making kerbalized verisons, and calling it a day? (Although ICBM MIRVs would be nice....)

[harpwner 263]

like I've said, I am working on some nuclear weapons... already made a regular airdropped one with a 200kt yield (unreleased)

I'm pretty satisfied with the blast radius of 1.5km for it

[harpwner 263]

so... hows about the first mushroom cloud to be in ksp... not bad eh?

[minepagan 497]

YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!

+rep for you!

- - - Updated - - -

Crap, I have to spread some first.....

[harpwner 263]

I haven't seen this happen, I'll get back to you if I can reproduce it.

And I'm glad you like it minepagan, I wonder if it was for a lack of trying or what but that effect only took like 2 hours to get working perfectly... just need better cloud textures xD

[LORDPrometheus 111]

Would you be willing to share your secrets to beautiful explosions for my existing BLU-82 and GBU-57A?
