It's My Island - Ground Attack Challenge Level 1 (BD Armoury AI)

[SpaceplaneAddict]

Also, please @DoctorDavinci, make sure you fly it to the island using dry mode on the jets.... fuel effiency is a bit too bad during wet mode....

Done and done ... Your Peacekeeper is just barely holding itself together, it's wings bend all over the place

You can view the results of the fight HERE

I have a feeling that I know why....

 

Use this one!

 

Note: never mount wings to hardpoints without struts....

Any Chance we can get the world save for practice?

Copy that ... The Peacekeeper Mk2 will be ran shortly (I added the Mk2 due to this being your second entry of the same plane with minor modifications)

No, I will not release the world save due to the fact that it contains all the levels for my Ground Attack Challenge including previously unreleased levels.

Currently there are 2 levels ready with another 2 that are being worked on. Level 2 is at the Pyramids with level 3 and 4 each being at undisclosed locations ... I'll give you a hint though, level 3 is an escort mission involving 1 troop transport (provided by myself) and 2 crafts from each contestant

You can find Level 2 HERE

To practice just make a few turrets and place them in the field beside the KSC

How 'bout you let me know if you change your mind about entering a craft into the competition

[SasquatchM]

I enjoy this challenge enough that I have two more craft for it if you want to try them.  I do feel they are both somewhat abusive however.

 

The Rainmaker II

The Salamander

The Rainmaker II

The Salamander

Your Salamander has invalid parts ... I'm going to run your Rainmaker II shortly

EDIT---------------------------------------------------

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but your Rainmaker 2 starts an attack run but then breaks off to start another run before firing ... It's just flying around not attacking anything

Edited February 21, 2016 by DoctorDavinci

[SasquatchM]

Well, I have no idea what is invalid with the Salamander.  I may have to reduce the altitude of the rainmaker, which is odd as it worked for me. I wonder if the lack of a radome has anything to do with it?

[DoctorDavinci]

Did you use Tweakscale? ...all the parts are named 'rtg.<whatever long string of numbers>' and tweakscale is a module in every part on your Salamander

Edited February 21, 2016 by DoctorDavinci

[SasquatchM]

Tweakscale is installed but not in use for anything.

[DoctorDavinci]

Your Salamander craft file is riddled with tweakscale references so something is up with that mod changing your craft

[SasquatchM]

Very strange.  It is the same game that I made the Rainmaker in.

What are the parts you used for the core of the Salamander? ... the ones with the yellow and black, I don't recognize them

[SasquatchM]

Well, crap.  That is a left over battery from Firespitter.  I thought I had pulled those parts.

[NotAnAimbot]

Hm, I might build a plane for this. Is Kerbal Joint Reinforcement permitted? I'm using it instead of struts

Edited March 7, 2016 by NotAnAimbot

[DoctorDavinci]

No, KJR is not allowed

[drtricky]

If our craft fails to eliminate everything, are we allowed to re-submit a redesigned version of it, or try again?

Yes, you can submit as many times as you like

[drtricky]

I have an additional question: The airplane I want to submit is basically a modern day heavy fighter, and due to it's size and the half brain-dead AI, it sometimes hits itself, either with it's own missiles or guns, and blows itself up. If you notice that it does this, does that count as a loss?

[DoctorDavinci]

There is no winning ... it's about how mant targets you can take out

Well having simulated my aircraft against a layout similar to yours, I can say that it averages 5-8 targets, assuming the AI doesn't go full idiot and hit itself, and the problems is that it sometimes hits itself, and sometimes doesn't.

 

So in other words, it sometimes fails a challenge for stupid reasons. If it fails an initial run, can I re-submit the same aircraft to show I want to try again?
