Noice. Can't really say the same thing for mine....

At least not with time warp...

 

Here's a tip- turn on advanced tweakables and use autostruts. They're not physical parts so they've got no drag, but still improve your ship's structural integrity.

[Piatzin]

EDIT:

I just built what is definitely my best armoured vehicle so far:

It can withstand up to six rockets from a hydra turret (three on each side):

The above is after six direct hits. It might be able to withstand a seventh though, if the rocket hits the wheels or something

However, the vehicle is unnamed. Any suggestions?

Stats:

Max speed is 125 m/s, and stability is excellent, along with durability (it can ram the VAB and destroy it without losing a single part). 90 parts

Use BDA armor plates. They're available in its latest version.

Is there any particular advantage to them or something? I prefer the structural panels just based on looks. The colour of BD armoury's version looks funky to me

Way better damage resistance. A single plate can take about 4 Abrams turret shots before exploding.

Huh okay I didn't know that. I'll make some redesigns

In the meantime.....

Two of these per rocket

ive been working onsome wet navy warships

they are pretty cool, though ill have to do some redesigning of my battleship for more length, top speed 70 mps right now XD

and your computer can only take 30 parts? i thought mine was bad

Are you referring to me, or...?

Mine can handle around 300 parts, but with serious lag. Send some pics of your ships once you have them

[NotAnAimbot]

(copy-pasted from my WIP 

Not stellar quality, but they should be enough. The showcased crafts are my F-19 (The large, Su-35 like plane) and F-25 (The smaller plane, which I tried making like a mix of the Su-57 and my F-19)

I think the engines weren't the only ones on wet mode after this near miss...

And the one below is shortly after the one above... It was a staged fight between the two

 

The mod is DCK so it shouldn't affect stock compatibility

They look great

I'm going to start working on a gunship. I'll post it soon

[Sidestrafe2462]

finished the Desolator class, its a beast and yet somehow has only 15 parts more than my puny battleship

hella bad steering but its awesome crazy aa firepower and lots of main cannons, 7 in total for a amazing fire rate

the battleship

dual goalkeepers is the only real good thing there

bb is modded as of now, will fix later

680-90 parts each

okay lag

[Sidestrafe2462]

missile being intercepted by aa defense

the remnants of the battle ship after a fight with the dreadnought

in the targeting cam you can see the damage after one salvo of 4 arbrams cannons

the second salvo impacting

[Piatzin]

That Dreadnought of yours looks quite impressive

Coincidentally, I also have a ship called 'Dreadnought'

Main armament is seven Abrams Cannons and two intermediate-level goalkeepers for anti-aircraft defence. 5 smoke dispensers and four flare ones. The radiators can actually cool down the ship's damaged parts, though the armour is so abysmal that they're rarely effective.

The advantage of thin armour is speed: top is 43 m/s, and turn rates are actually quite good. 100 parts.

It'd be interesting to set up a match between my Dreadnought and your Battleship (since I doubt mine could take on your own Dreadnought without being completely trampled lol)

Wait are you talking about the battleship which you posted pictures of? And it moves at 70 m/s? How'd you manage that lol

[Sidestrafe2462]

the small battleship has that speed, uses those massive turbofans (two of them) , and a float system to hydroplane across those lagy sprays

 

and the floats make it pretty tough, though 7 cannons will probably be more than my ship can handle if it goes for missiles

should remove them the battleships uses misslies but cannons are more effective

still working on the dread

the goliath engines

and with your spray problem, use the trim. Alt S or whatever for automatic pitch setting

[Sidestrafe2462]

upgraded power plant on dreadnought, flank speed is 26.5 mps

That sounds quite fast. Not sure what the speed for most people's ships is.

[Sidestrafe2462]

ive had a 30 mps one posted

gonna add another primary plant

used bda belt armor on some critical spots

[Sidestrafe2462]

i can run the matchup, can you post a download link for your ships?

Sure:

Send some pics when you're done

you made it with exactly 100? i made my dread out of 600 XD the prescision

about to run a battle between the battleship and my dread

[Piatzin]

Ha ha yeah, I have a 100 part limit on the craft I submit, since my company's combat strategy is based around large groups of small craft

[Sidestrafe2462]

ok the battle was just run one hit one kill at 3km for the dread XD 

 

both ships are real bad at taking main cannon hits but the battleship can be one hit killed

[Piatzin]

Maybe double or triple layers of armour would be more effective
