Can you post a screenshot? I'm not sure I know what turrets those are. Are you using Kerbal Joint Reinforcement?

@XOC2008the largest turret use on IJN Yamato and USS Missouri. I tried KJR to weld them together, but after the first shoot the turret just got stuck and can't change pitch and yaw.

really strange. If I don't use KJR, turret shake like a India pancake!

Those aren't SM weapons, those are NAS weapons. You need to go here for that:

Not long now the release candidate is with the testers now. Also newly added and will be included , IS122, PZ4  KVseries hull.  ,almost enough for a fight   still a couple more to come. but this'll be the tank line up for the 1.3 Beta, plus all the old turrets upgraded.

Can hardly wait to crush ruskie and american tanks with Glorious german vehicles.

Also, any chance of a tutorial on how to add texture changes in the .cfg files? I made an alternate tex for the Abrams hull and turret, but, it doesn't seem to have anything for the textures in the .cfg file.

Latest Update

0.99.03.07

replaces 88's in two formats

New missiles and launchers, Ammo and bullet type upgrade and overhaul, hundreds of fixes and improvements

EN US LOCALIZATION  Requires further download for proper function   SM Armory SMAFV's SM Marine and LBP share a common dictionary  Failure to install dictionary will result in part names and titles being displayed as autolc###  it's not a bug and I will laugh at the next person who fails to read the instructions

SM Armory 1.3

SM Industries Required download

The original BDA expansion contains over 100 items to enhance your military might

from 7.7mm WW1 machine guns to modern CIWS systems , WW2 field guns to 152mmAGS turrets there's a weapon for every eventuality

With SMA now containing 100 parts it's time to go for V1 and full release,SM Armory is also to my mind complete and as such very little will be added, however my intention is to make extra packs to add on if the user wishes, rather than forcing and increasingly large download

This version includes the impossibles, things that were thought impossible to create with BDA. These turrets ALL designed for CIWS use feature rapid fire cannons and AA missile rails.  Also as usual are loads of normal turrets some based on fantasy , some on reality, but wherever the inspiration came from I've attempted to make them relevant to the Kerbal world. With notable and deliberate exceptions  everything here is appropriately powered for Kerbal Kombat. I've also spent a good amount of time making sure that they work with SM Marine and The Large Boat Parts  as i find that's the situation in which most of these will be used

Some of the latest additions

Notes

 

On installation you will notice that the mod contains an extras folder. In this folder you will find the Secubots security robot turrets, A weapon probe for connecting to turrets for standalone use, meant for use with the field guns, the pirate ship cannon and the 88. 

  Also included is a filter extensions addition simply unzip and merge with filter extensions  to get advanced sorting of SMM products

Old School Turrets and Never Enough Dakka

With the uploading to SpaceDock or NED and OST I have decided to roll all the support and development into one thread, this should enable me to hear of and fix any issues ASAP. Although there will be little further development on these two packs( unless requested) I will continue to improve both function and appearance on all items, and of course I'll keep them working

I have received some interesting other items in the assets i received from the original author PrototypeTheta  and this will also make an appearance shortly

THE NED REDUX RELEASE

Works in 1.22

 

Old School Turrets Redux release

Works in 122

Album link

Note concerning issues.

There  is now a git repository for SMA in order to access and provide a hard record of any issues that occur, as the modlist grows the more i find i'm forgetting and it makes sense to do something proper for a change .  You can find the issues reporting pagehttps://github.com/SpannerMonkey/SM_Armory/issues  at the following location 

 

 

Thanks as always to @gomker @V8jester @XOC2008 and occasionally @colmo for testing bug hunting and sanity preservation

Hi all yes the button is new, i don't ever expect anyone to bother, you are certainly not obliged in any way, I was asked by several people this week, if there was a donation button in order to show their appreciation, the wife saw the requests, and after a some discussion i have given in and added a donation facility

 

About the SM AFV's mod, will you be planning to add the Hull of the Original and Modernized M60A3s?

For the Modernized M60A3 hull, I meant the one used for the Modernized M60A3s like this: 

and the M60-2000, same but with the M1 Abrams's Turret

[SpannerMonkey(smce)]

Hi did you really need to quote the whole first post?  As for additions, I do not intend to add multiple hulls for the same vehicle type, the M60 additions can easily be dealt with using greebles,  I'm working on an M60 version but will not be adding 1950's tanks to AFV's( whatever upgrade they have)  it's more likely to end up in in SM OST and T.  The M60 2000 uses an upgraded M60 turret not an Abrams turret, as can be seen from the profile in the pic above.

@SpannerMonkey(smce) To be fair, the M60-2000 is not the one in that picture, and wiki reference says it does use an Abrams turret and gun. But this can be done easily with the BDA turret or the SMA M1 turret.

I echo (and had prior requested) the M60 hull, and knowing you, you will have greebles and armor pieces to make it 'modernized' so I'm not worried.

ALL new updates contain EN-US localization, that is there is a complete  English dictionary of all part names and part descriptions.    Completing this was a mammoth task and needed to be done in order to keep pace with things in KSP . 

If you do not install this dictionary every name and every description will consist of something like "#autoLOC_SMIndustries_7000000 //= ProjectPlutoSS".  The fix is simple, install the SM Industries  included folder and dictionary

In future every download will include a copy of this folder, as it has proved too difficult for people to find and/or follow the links, no matter how many times they are posted. 

The current  SM Industries complete dictionary and spoiler list has changed considerably since the last version and a whole new batch of downloads is due. There is just this one extra folder that contains an entry for 80% of the mods I currently run and maintain. It is not a massive download by any means. (27.4kb)

This below is the last version that went out with the releases and without knowing , when or what you installed this would be the best option right now.  may contain spoilers.

SM Industries 

As noted above all future downloads will include the SM_I folder.  Only one copy of this folder is required per KSP installation. The folder contains a text file  Always use the newest version if  you have downloaded more than one. 

The correct installation path for SM_Industries is  KSP/GameData/SM_Industries

I just finished making the tank turrets in the Old School Turrets mod compatible with the BDA armor and bullet system.

I'm going to test soon. If it works, would you like me to give you the files?

Btw, I changed all the tank turrets to ballistic, since when a tanks bullet lands somewhere, it doesn't make that big of an explosion.

HI  as OST is about to be phased out and replaced by SM OST and T  there's little point ( this is not news i announced it over a month ago) , and as mentioned elsewhere once the latest bullet and armor overhaul is complete all turrets that want to use the new system will require re balancing and tuning so as to perform within accepted parameters.

I've no objection to people tweaking and tuning, but  to save you a lot of wasted time, it may pay to let me know what you're up to, especially if you'd like to contribute in some way,  as you have no absolutely no  idea what I'm actually doing and to what.

Nope I mean if you are working on converting or changing one of my mods, as you have done, it would have saved you hours of messing around unless you just made up all the new numbers, and still will because unless for your own curiosity you want to test what you have done, it's unlikely that your numbers will be the figures I finally settle at. Simply because you are testing and getting results from a defective system. No sense can or should be made from any weapon balance info until the system is working correctly. I've already mentioned this to you in regards something else, you don't seem to grasp what I'm saying though.

[Guest]

@SpannerMonkey(smce) Nope, unless you count what I already did.

But I'll still just test it when I have time.

How come there is an FPS backpack in the SM AFV mod?

I know that there are rocket launchers you can use for your kerbals, but why does it have the FPS ammo resource. There are no guns in this mod using this resource.

Btw, could you actually make some guns for kerbals? I know kerbal vs vechile combat is crazy, but it has been done before.

The mod containing all my kerbal weapons still works , the links in the sig,  just that now kerbals are projectile or blast proof there is little point further developing the mod

Actually, I found out when you aim for the helmet of the kerbal (If your kerbal has one) then the kerbal will die.

So if we can somehow get the guard mode to aim at the helmet, we could actually bring FPS back.

Even if it doesn't work, it gets us 1 step closer to what we should do.

[SpannerMonkey(smce)]

Afternoon all, just a little note  to mention that finally the Beta of SM OSTandT will soon be available, i finally had enough stuff everywhere else in order to be able to dedicate some time to finishing the extra wants. 

This is the final line up of full tanks for the beta, there are of course variation of turret for some, and the smaller hulls will suit many other tanks turrets from the original OST selection, so this is just the base sample, as it comes paint still tacky

( note.  all turrets are separate, all hulls have a standard fitment at least a weapon manager, and a KSP APU that supplies all the vehicles power needs,  All vehicles have a fuel capacity, and a small EC storage, most also have other BDA module additions depending on period and vehicle tech level,  for example the LolTraktor has 1 gun, WM, and APU,  whereas the M60 has max of 3 guns, WM, RWR, WC, EcGen etc,   .  Before anyone asks , No there's not enough EC storage or power from EcGen to power  any of the tanks  without the engine running.   )

Hi, not at this point, the best you can do is set up a node directly over the yaw pivot and attach parts there, while not perfect it does sort of allow a secondary gun to be fitted  as below

Moving the request here for a quad .50 mount to put 4 M2s on a 360 degree turret base, with either a small and very short range locking radar, or a camera based targetting system

Are you asking for a quad .50 turret or a turret to manually put 4 .50's on? The only way you'll get the latter with the way KSP/Unity works is to use IR, since each weapon is basically the turret. And the only way to accomplish the former would be a full quad .50 turret.
