Ey that was KSP's fault

Dun hate

[Noellen]

Can we get a pic of the zumwalt?

[harpwner]

I wish I could but I've modeled it 3 times and they all had visual errors that... well that didn't bode well.

when I do manage it... I'll post, for now though... I simply can't

So it appears I have got the progressive explosions/shockwaves to work on the nuclear bombs... so here's a video to demonstrate

 

It's not much but something I just kinda threw together... couldn't help put a few cinematic elements in of course.

Do you know the Minimum Safe Distances when dropping each of the Nuclear Weapons? I see that the B-83 has almost a exact same blast radius as the Castle Bravo, even though the Bravo is a 15 mt and the 83 is 1.3 megaton.

The explosion values will be tweaked, but the minimum safe distance depends if you are going faster than sound or not. If you are going supersonic, if the bomb explodes more than 500m away you'll be fine. However if slower, you'll probably be safe detonating a couple kilometers off?

Ah, because I have been testing with subsonic aircraft, the Castle Bravo, it requires minimum 10km safe distance. For the B61, I belive 5, then for the B83, maybe 8 idk, and for the TSAR, 17 km or 20 km is what I have received. 

Anyway, thanks for this mod and thanks in advance for tweaking the blast values of the WMDs. Keep doin what you are doin.

I have a request. Schwerer Gustav. 800 mm Siege artillery. no reason why not, as it is big, powerful and heavy

1500 ton in mass, 80 cm in bore, 32.5 m barrel length ROF = 14 rounds per earth day, INSANITY.

If I am not mistaken, it already exists.  I have yet to use it for a super-tank due to the nuclear option being far superior in my opinion, but I believe the mod already includes it.

Are you serious that a gun with a firing rate of "1 round every 30 to 45 minutes or typically 14 rounds a day" would be practical in KSP?

are those engines the quiz tech dual ones?

I've been testing and i can't escape Castle Bravo's blast radius in a B52 at 10,500m going 250m/s. Which is normal; because Megaton+ bombs have parachutes to delay their fall so the aircraft has time to escape.
Is there any way we could add parachutes to those?

Yes BDArmory provides a deployed drag parameter. You can check out the Mk-82 Snakeye.

Thanks; i'll try editing that.

You are right @Acea . The Schwerer Gustav serve no more purpose than a GIGANTIC fortress and bomb target because of her EXTREMELY SLOW fire rate.

You can't escape nuclear bomb radii until the next update when the explosive shockwaves get implimented

 

Probably shoulda mentioned that

Thankfully KSP has time acceleration 

I can think of a few applications for a super-heavy howitzer. Centerline-mounting it on a warship in place of gun turrets with smaller caliber cannons, for one.

I don't think that speeds up reload times as I have done so w/ the slower firing arty pieces on here and nothing went faster

[Comrade Xmir]

I absolutely love this mod! Nuking KSC never gets boring.

Only physics acceleration speeds up reloading so you'd better have a try by yourself

Lol he would buff the fire rate

Schwerer gustav... mounted on a SHIP...

Yes there is a very large caliber gun, nut it is not Gustav, it is gerat, a *smaller gun,

*lol smaller being 54 cm still.

H45 confirmed

[harpwner]

ok I'm sorta willing to make the Gustav now, but that will delay the update a bit. Not to mention the current models seem to hate me.

The zumwalt isn't appearing in game

The Tiger turret is missing a turret for some unknown reason in unity

and I've had a lot of issues with coding (more based on me spending all my time on guitar tho)

ETA: not a short amount of time

Ok well Thanks for making this mod anyway and hope you have good luck with the textures and models. also the Gustav fires a projectile that weighs 7 tons.
