There is a ground AI unit, it can drive a tank, shoot other tanks and occasionally destroy the KSC while doing this. But sometimes something goes wrong and my AI driven tanks go pacifistic and decide to make love not war Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get it working work once though, so that's nice. Anyway, thanks for the help guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower steer factor, higher steer damping, and lower CoM of tank helps reduce flipping over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeb_Needs_A_Parachute Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I don't know how to destroy the KSC. I'm in a sandbox save and apparently I can't destroy buildings. Is this because I'm in sandbox or is there some other reason? E.g. 1 direct tank shell is not enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switch off indestructable buildings. 2. Build gatling howitzer 3. FIRE P.S. missiles and nukes can serve as a better testing weapons. The tank gun may not be powerful enough to one shot VAB.

Neros7 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) How does one change the chance to ignite the other aircraft, like, how do you change the possibility of them burning when you shoot them? And how does fire work in Bdarmory? And how do you translate blastpower into tntmass? (old bdarmory unit for explosiveness into the new one) AND what is better for 1.10: Bdarmory 1.9.1 or Runway version?

I don't know much about tntmass, but you can check radius of explosion as a benchmark (amomg other things). For 1.10, I recommend runway version. It is still under development, though.

It's easy to mess up with KF tracks and get inverted throttle or steering control, AI can do really weird things while dealing with inverted controls. Check if your tanks don't have inverted steering or driving direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Benchmark", as in what criteria you use to compare between different things. If you mean air to ground strafing, then 1.9.1 is slightly more stable. But runway has more sliders for better control over the plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MODULE { name = ModuleECMJammer alwaysOn = true resourceDrain = 0 jammerStrength = 5 lockBreaker = false lockBreakerStrength = 0 rcsReduction = true rcsReductionFactor = 0.2 } This is how stealth technology is represented in BDA. I took this from F-22 cockpit cfg file. rcsReductionFactor reduces radar cross section of a part that has this module.... or a vehicle... i don't know how BDA calculates RCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuxtonHouse Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Hello, I dont know where to post this, so im sorry if i get this wrong. How does amour penetration work? So on the right is 10mm and the left is 85mm, and it looks like the M1 Cannon shot through 3 85mm plates and only 2 10mm plates, and im guessing it should go trough atleast a total of 450mm of armored plate?

Can you show the hp of the damaged but unpenetrated panels? Also penetration angle and distance bay be a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also penetration angle and distance bay be a factor. So it was 90 degrees and about 100m so theres no deviation or other variables. The HP was full of the un penetrated panels. although i dont have a picture of that, ill do it again so i tested again and yeah theres no damage behind other panels. and it penned 2x10mm panels and 2x85mm panels Edited October 21, 2020 by BuxtonHouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many shots did you use for testing? P.S. 85mm armor is kinda weak imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipelsquerp Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with setting up a SAM turret. This video shows pretty much what I'd like to be able to build. When I try to use the jernas turret on guard mode with AIM-120 missiles, it doesnt appear to rotate and track enemies. I've made sure that the SAM has a working tracking radar, and that the weapon manager is on guard mode. When I do this, I notice the selected weapon usually goes from AIM-120 to "None." If I try to select the AIM-120s again, it will comply for a moment then automatically switch back to "None." So I tried to copy what he built in this video by a freeze frame, and I did successfully get one missile (AIM-120) to launch. However, this was not with a jernas turret but with a fixed missile rail. I had to fly the plane directly through the fixed target reticule to get one launch, which is not very fun nor combat like. The opposing plane is set to be on the opposite team through weapon manager, so they should be in combat mode. This method at least works for the anti aircraft guns. Can anyone provide some guidance? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! 1. Check for problems with installation, especially wrong versions. 2. Check you have proper weapons manager on both target plane and sam site. 3. Check that missile is set to engage air, and the target plane is on another team. 4. Attempt to manually fire missiles to see if default missile drop time will cause friendly fire. 5. If all else fails, upload some screenshots here. 4 hours ago, kaishuoy said: how do i re enable legacy targeting? the option is gone from the menu Try settings.cfg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
