Welcome everybody,

This is the amazin'story of Narval Industries ! This page is dedicated to the aircraft building in all possible ways: fighters, bombers, drones. But also to ground vehicles, like SAM batteries and armored systems.

And of course thank Squad for this great game!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kerbals were annoying in their city in a soviet republic in 1984. They decided, a sunday afternoon, to build some rockets to go out of space ! Hopefully, just in the city : an abandonned space center !

Years passed, they built many differents rockets, going on moon and other planets, even the sun ! Crashed in so many ways ! And sending a probe out of the solar system, well. Another sunday, after hours and nights to constitute warspaceships, space fighters and space fuel stations : they realize that the space exploration was really something difficult.....

NARVAL INDUSTRIE

Well, let's start.

1987.

The story begins in vanilla version, but then we quickly add some basic mods a few for the aeronautic.

Obviously, the first aircraft is a figher. We built many different versions of this shape (cockpit, fuel tank middle and reactor and go.. oh yes and two wings! Stop !). The capacity of this configuration are 230m/s on low altitude, and low fuel...

A1

Let's build a twin engine ! Well that's great ! But where we fly ? Let's go to KSC 2 ! Yeah !!!

We never got any feedback from them.

Nevermind, let's create an Artic Base !

They crashed also due to a failure of the gears. Let's send another mission !

The A3 is the most common cargo, with 12 turbofans, and two cargo compartment. The first issue was too weak, versions after versions we deployed the Arctic-dedicated N6, a subversion of the A3 with reinforced gears and loaded with settlement:

N6-ARCTIC3

This aircraft could contain one rover and wether a fuel truck or two labs:

In order to free the material, the rear side explode (you can notice the red flag on the Y356 soviet container reused):

The machines, here is the "Dahut", the G2 and behind the G1 "Mole":

G2 "DAHUT"

We sent three aircraft, and we began to have a lack of persons at the KSC, so we decided at this moment to create a robot to pilot the aircraft.

The N11. This aircraft is very clever. Yes HE is. Once assembled, he decided, by himself, to take the ruway, a technician onboard and to go out to Arctic ! For an unkwown reason !

N11

Getting some fuel ...

And start again !

Why this stupid computer is going no where?

Cause he knows where to find a damn s*%t UFO !!! (souvenir picture of the "mission"):

Very efficient aircraft :

At this point, the army decided to take control of Narval Industrie. The sent a A40, fired everybody, remploy everybody and gave a lot of money and great stuff !

The anhedral A40:

A401

To be continued.

NARVAL MILITARY

Another dimension. We needed some target to battle with. So we create many robots with a lot of missiles. And aircraft, with a lot of missile.

At this point (my previous save crashed and I lost everything first hmmmmm), at this point, we decided to CHEAT the turbofan. Cause it is non-sense to fly at 200m/s with a fighter. Cause it is also a non-sense to put 12 turboreactor on an airliner. Moreover the UFO was a spring of power !

So, we have created Impala Industrie©

It consiste of lot of big stuff:

This pack is available on curse if you wanna try this new configuration:

http://www.curse.com/ksp-mods/kerbal/232540-impala-industrie

Well, targets!

The light 4x4 surface to air missile G1:

Quick stable robust.

The G312, SAM & SSM tank:

The massives G712, G713 :

Firing:

And also we needed a big nasty RADAR !!

The G525:

okkkk, that's done. First combat mission ! Three points to seek and destroy !! Yahoo ! Let take this beautiful A511 sukhoi like :

1070 m/s at 5200m !!! HAHA !!! LOVE THAT !!!

Hopefully all the civilians in the harbors manage to reach the hills around, before the beginning of the exercise.

Narval Industries save the pilots AND the IA (and the $aircraft$):

Everything (except the landing) worked fine ! Complete success !

Meawhile our team of reasearchers was facing on a strange behavior:

We also built a ballistic missile (!discount!: see shop):

2000m/s at 8000m !!!!! AhahaAHAHA!!! Kawaï !!

With this ICBM something strange happenned: it is launch from a G1 adapted, and reach around 700m/s in 2 sec. This speed provokes like a shock beam, and it destroys every vehicles around instantly on more than 3km !! (Maybe it is the sonic boom of KSP?).

At this time we were really driking a lot at the office, one morning Bob, our manager arrives : "I got a really nice idea ! I know that space is a sh$t cold dark place, but, it would be a real great achievement to put our balls on the moon !"

Oh yeah ! I love Bob when he is a poet.

So I called our lazy subcontractors, to put stress on them first of all, but to propose a new crazy project. Something great well:

Equiped with a GigaImpala, the X400 was a success, with enough fuel and power for several earth to moon trips.

Space is crazy, so our bosses, the gouvernment and all these 50-years-old geeks asked us to think on a huge vessel, it produces the X500:

Capable of take-off, flying below and above the atmosphere and landing.

Last experiment of space exploration with UFO technology, the X713 in a take-off/landing mission fromEarth to Jool and Jool to Earth:

At this point the governement decide to stop their partnership and give back Narval Industrie to their creators.

Narval Industrie II

Today, in 2015, everybody on Kerbin has developped SAM system in their backyard. It is very difficult to go outside just take a look to the Arctic as before or take a bath on the abandonned airstrip on the island front of us !

Narval Industrie comes back with a new collection of personal defense system !

(Events since the update to 1.0)

The island is protected by many SAM tank G1 MAUSOLEE:

This BM-27 Uragan like exists in many version.

G1 PYRAMID:

G1 TERTRE:

G1 TEMPLE (SSM) :

The Island kerbals were playing with their guns and provoking accidents. It was urgent to bomb them all before they killed themselves:

We sent something heavy like an A301B3:

x2:

On a training purpose, we start the operation "Iced Condor". Intensive training of Air-to-ground combat, involving more and more SAM batteries.

Here is the A122 full mavericks loaded dealing with SAM:

Mach1 at 600m with only 1/3 of the available thrust :

Looks like the wreckage of a PATRIOT vehicle:

Second step of the training, battle in a desert high land. The temperature get high ! 10 min of flight, approching, 3 batteries in a circle and the objective at the center, 8 km between the batteries (range of fire 5000m), and a navy machinegun anti-missile.

STRIKKKKKKEEE

The A12 ULTIMA RATIO is really our best versatile, balanced fighter:

It becomes at this point very difficult to put SAM batteries everywhere. We design this cargo air ship, loaded with 6 Drones SAM & RADAR:

It works !

Designing a better aircraft than the A12x series?

Maybe yes, with the A14:

/!\ Can carry atomic bomb /!\

With the EX system, the A14ex could go on orbit :

Time to dogfight !

We launch 8 drones and a pilot had to battle in the team of his choice, the trick is hard really, sometimes it is good, sometimes it is very very difficult:

Another actual development, the E1b which is design for orbit flight and orbit survey:

Obviously, we have to make a A10 WARTHOG:

Which is very efficient with his turret :

This is the end of the story of Narval Industries, for the moment. I hope you enjoy this.

Many thanks reader !

Cpt. Sha at your service !

which mods you're using? (except "impala")

[sha]

The mods at the beginning of this topic are the ones I'm using , except the amazing B9 aerospace which is no more compatible with 1.0.

But mainly the actives mods are Bahamutt armory, Infernal Robotics. And EVE, Kerbin side for the environment (I'm not very skilled with this part of the mods).

BD armory, Infernal Robotics and Squad parts are sufficient in many of my creations in general.
