[1.12.x] BDArmory Continued v1.3.5 beta [1/29/2022] + Vessel Mover, Camera Tools, BDMk22, Destruction Effects, Burn Together

[Hotdiggitydog]

I don't know if you guys are still taking ideas for additions to this awesome mod, but I have found a weapon that might be of interest for the next update.

It's called the AGM-12, a fast joystick controlled air-to-ground missile from the Vietnam War.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-12_Bullpup

It seems perfect, as it would be its own craft with a remote control, rocket engine, and winglets that you could pilot yourself until it hits the ground. Just a suggestion if you are looking for more ideas.

Pitch Ki?

I only have a 'steering ki' setting and changing that doesn't effect the aim.

Seems...no? I fired a missile and shot it down with a omillennium. The shots missed did not explode at proximity. @jrodriguez

Hmm, I'll have to test myself. It may have been a code change?

I know one of my weapons need the air burst setting on it and seeing no air burst working is weird as it used to work.

Also, on this topic, the max detonation range does not seem to be functioning properly. I have a turret with max engagement range, max targetting range and max detonation distance set at 8000, but the bullets lose interest in flying at around 3500.

Such a missile can be built with the module missile manager.

Was the AI aiming of fixed guns fixed this update? Even with version 1.2.3.0 in ksp 1.5.1, they still cannot hit the target if it is flying straight or maneuvering slightly, the lead is always a little low. 

It should be fixed. Theorectically. I think that the code did not take into account gravity drop of bullet/lift of target.

This a code example of the Quad 40 Bofors from SMArmory

You need this properties on the weapon cfg to make it air detonation on proximity.

    airDetonation = true
    airDetonationTiming = true
    maxEffectiveDistance = 7150
    defaultAirDetonationRange = 3200
    maxAirDetonationRange = 7150

Is the ai able to hit targets with fixed guns in your game?

No, not even with turrets. My goalkeepers aim under the missile.

Ah thanks. More booms incoming.

I also wonder, when I look into the cfg files I see a cfg for "Sabot" and a "HE" in the Abrams cannon folders, do these have any meaning?

Well. That means my AA abrams cannons just got a lot more effective

HE means high explosive. In other words, suitable for AA guns, not suitable for armour piercing.

[BF2_Pilot]

I saw "apBulletMod = 20" in the bullet CFG,

could you tell me how it work?

How apBulletMod affect bullet's damage?

But would it not be easier and look cleaner to have it as one part? Especially because it is based off of real life ordnance.

I know that, but ingame I see no options or anything to switch the abrams around from HE to Sabot or anything like that. It's just in the CFG, and I was wondering what it's doing there.

You need to switch the HE to sabot in the resource\ammo cfg i believe.

A radio guided bomb/missile may be nice, and would be more versatile than other types of agms. Especially if your craft is designed to not have radar/laser guidance, and you are hitting a running target. Why would an AI caapable of flying remotely and engage in air fights by flying straight and fring its guns at the enemy not be able to use its "sight" to bomb?

Also, even with this, there is no proximity detonation on my weapons. Bullets that fly past are still not blowing up.

Explosive in the ammo?

0.39 kg. The bullets are NOT exploding and disappearing, at least not when the target is near.

Thought I saw settings for air detonation in the ammo cfgs as well. Have you checked that? not that ANY airburst is working atm.

I like that, I would also like more space-weapons.

Yeah, me too. Some type of KKV.
