This new turret looks like 130mm/50 B-13 (Main gun from Gnevny-class Destroyer) That's actually a... I guess you'll know when it actually comes out XD It's about a new nation, and it would be unique.

Reveal hidden contents It is a single gun turret, 12 in, in case you are wondering I guess not... yeah it would be nice to talk something about our rules of choosing new NAS weapons: 1. It should have taken part in at least one naval campaign, or campaign against naval units, between 1931/9/18 and 1945/8/15 (except for some very rare and special examples, but the time should fit); 2. It should be unique enough (in our minds) and at least partially universal (can be used in multiple ways); 3. It shouldn't be a nuclear device. And I don't think a turret specially designed for a submarine (which was sunk in 1925) would fit any of this, so I'm sorry but you won't have it.

Komander Faul Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Album https://imgur.com/xphY9VK will appear when post is submitted is there any ways of having a 5, or 6-way torpedo option for the ijn torpedo launchers? i would like to build this super akiziki, but also play around with it....sadly, it only has a 4 way option the 5 way is historically in the Shimakaze class destroyers....

We once considered this too but later that plan got abandoned, it's mainly a balancing issue. Type 93 torpedo is far better in almost all specifications than other torpedoes, which means we need a way to limit its use, and balance the overall level of Allies/Axis weapons. Anyway today we have a new release, featuring a long-requested function and many more: Updatelog 0.6.6.1 (FIX) - "Our Freedom" Updated plugin to adapt to KSP 1.3.1 and latest BDArmory Continued. Retextured Tallboy 12,000 lb Earthquake Bomb. Redefined all radars for new BDAc features (now they consume ElectricCharge). Stopped redistributing C.A.L++ since all ammos have been merged into BDAc. Minor changes in Japanese and Spanish descriptions. Inherited 1-01A Universal Ammunition Box and BDExplosiveTweakScale.cfg from C.A.L++, old users could still use them. FuMO 61 "Hohentwiel U" radar can no longer lock targets. Corrected size of two Bofors 40 mm L/60's (Mark 4 Quad Mount & QF 40 mm Mk I Mount). Added a custom part category for NAS parts.

For me, this problem is OK, not a big deal.... Even with less torpedo, the Shimakaze class is still good-looking, beautiful and deadly......

Toonu Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Hello @Acea, I love the mod and its components, but can I suggest one feature? Is it possible to use shared textures for guns to reduce texture memory usage for some guns? Many guns have similar colors and hatches which can use shared textures for this purpose. Just an idea... Thanks for reply! Toonu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelers always complaint about complexity of NAS weapons, and it would be a pain to do the UV mapping even under current solution. Really I didn't see any convenience of this, only the possibility that I might get criticized for ignorance of technical process and proper workflow by other members. I have tried all ways to reduce memory usage, including compressing texture sizes, using DDS format, reducing model polygon counts, etc. If there's a practical way to further improve the performance I'd love to adopt it, but so far this is all we can do. Anyway thanks for the idea XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently we are (strictly I am) doing the best to save memory usage, but we might consider a more aggressive way? Like all single color textures, but now this is it. You can also manually delete weapons of any power you don't need or don't really like, or compress those texture files with DDS editors, that's all up to yourself. Again thanks for supporting NAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again thanks for supporting NAS May I suggest a pure gray-ish and black rim texture for everything? And another thing is it possible to have different turrets to fall under the same BDWeapon name? Can't make things like the Pensacola without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) I really wish there is a form of "procedural structural frame" of some kind. I hate how my ships just don't look right. Edit: After messing with Procedural Wings I managed to cobble a working frame. Still looks terrible in texture though.
