"Libertate per Tela Superior" THE CHALLENGE: Build an Airborne Heavy Weapons Platform (AHWP). Pit it against other AHWPs for amazing battles of incredible destruction. Inspired by @Adelaar's M-GS-1 'Liberator' build. What's an AHWP? An AHWP is a VTOL aircraft so heavily armed that "heavy gunship" is no longer sufficient to describe it. It is somewhat subjective, but a good rule of thumb for making AHWPs is to decide the armament first, and then build the craft around that. It must be VTOL. If it's fast/maneuverable/doesn't overly lag your game, that's a bonus. Are mods allowed? Yes. BDA is required, and other mods are allowed. If necessary, custom parts may be used only for the VTOL lifter engines. This is due to the fact that most engines will likely be insufficient to lift some AHWPs. Stock is, however, not discouraged. In fact, stock is somewhat cooler due to the limitations one has to work with. However, if you need Infinite Fuel/Electricity/RCS for functionality, it does not qualify as a submission. BDA Infinite Ammo is allowed, but not encouraged. Throttle Controlled Avionics for VTOL balancing is allowed, but not encouraged. Kerbal Joint Reinforcement is recommended. Submission Guidelines: Post a picture/album of your AHWP and it's armaments list. Please add a KerbalX download. Multiple entries are allowed.
