Another idea is to add a new turret for mounting stationary weapons and turning them into rotating turrets. Go back to page 95 i think it is of this thread. Whole discussion of how that wont work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi it's been done , there's an example of a universal turret in SM AFV, and an explanation of the fundamentals can be found in the post below 3 hours ago, Xd the great said: Having a slighly crazy idea for future development. Get kerbals to have guns and switch between civilian/military. Give them the ai control, and let them fight for control of the ksc. Also been done, the mod linked is another one of mine , currently the weapons have been turned over to Doc Davinci for inclusion in his current project, whatever that is . Do note that non of the versions currently available for download are suitable for BDA or KSP from 1.2.2 onwards. Changes to the kerbals killed the mod , as BDA weapon were unable to cause any damage to Kerbs, that situation is now resolved via BDA code. 5 hours ago, systern said: yeah but only to a minimum of 2000m i want to be able to set a min of say 200 - 500m for ground forces Hi unless you are setting up literally dozens of vehicles, for ground combat i suggest setting the minimum engagement range on the surface AI to around 50 meters and starting the competition via the vessel mover craft switcher window , rather than using the BDA competition mode from the settings window . I regularly do this with 5v5 and 10v10s , so it's not a massive amount of hassle . I will say though that for any decently setup craft and weapons that at such short range 2-500 mtrs it'll be over very quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I have a suggestion. Will you guys add multitasking to the BDA AI? So that a bomber can drop bombs while managing its rear turret? That means that a bomber doesn't have to stop what it is doing just because a plane is on its tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi if you read back a page you'll see this question was recently asked , and then answered with several reasons why (certain members of the team, being those who do conduct combat scenarios (game play tests) on a large scale, think ) it's not a good idea. And I'll give you another really good reason why its not a good idea to continue dropping armed high explosives from you aircraft while being attacked...... Ripple detonation! if just one of those bombs get hit, especially if they're a decent size, it will detonate the whole stick, including those in the bomb bay , usually destroying the bombing aircraft completely. (edit) note that i say armed, because if they are not armed, the resulting explosion is that of any normal, similar mass , part, when armed however any hit will trigger a full detonation. Anyone running fighter with missile battles will have already seen banks of un-launched missiles destroyed by gunfire Which BTW is exactly whats happened in the image below , just as i started the bomb run Edited May 28, 2018 by SpannerMonkey(smce) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Eagle 1 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I cant seem to get Anti Air missiles to fire at air targets from VLS tubes in guard mode. it fires with regular missile launcher turrets and VLS tubes work fine for anti ship operations. On top of that if i manually fire the missiles they work fine. The AI locks onto the air target too but just doesnt fire the shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps video or screenshots, and a copy of the KSP.log for those that know how to translate them. I can tell you for a fact that I can fire missiles from VLS tubes just fine using guard mode.

If you're talking about the SLBM launcher, that's really meant for the large ballistic missiles and I'm sure with smaller missiles it sets off the collision check. There are no dedicated VLS launchers in SM Armory however that I am aware of. Edited May 28, 2018 by XOC2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hide contents Note the settings on the missile. That may work but I ll have to try to figure out how im going to do it. See im with a military role play group and we have set rules bout things like how many missiles can be on a ship. As such i have to build my ships with weapon count and part count in mind. If i cant get it to work the way its needs to be i ll try that idea out Tho TBH im trying to get rid of Malfuc from my ships because its SO out dated Edit::: i just found out Spanner now has updated Malfunc so ill try that and see if that fixes it Edited May 28, 2018 by War Eagle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
