Hi it's a bit of a misnomer really, SLW = ship or sub launched weapon = torpedoes or similar devices, but not missiles, missiles are missiles regardless of the launch platform, be it a sub 100 meters below the surface or an aircraft 1000 meters above.

Hi, if it exists and is documented somewhere, yes, otherwise it's all a bit sketchy ( as in more sketchy than normal) . I can't find anything similar on my allegedly complete list of every caliber ever made, close but not those sizes, not even in imperial. So whats it for?

Yeah i got it in the end, process of elimination, so many it can't be , except, everything i've hunted down states 13×64mmB (0.511" as opposed to 0,515) for the 131 and 15×96mm for the 151(0.590 as opposed to 0.594) , unless somebody knows (and can provide a source) different. Is the 0.1 presumed due to the name of the weapons perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closet thing I can find is 13.2mm here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13.2mm_TuF but it's a rifle round.

As far as I can remember the 1 at the end is sort of a "model" designation rather than a calibre measurement, the MG 151 essentially being the Maschinengewehr 15mm model 1. The MG 151 most definitely shot a 15mm round rather than a 15.1mm round. It should also be noted (for us nitpickers out there...) that the officially correct name for the MG 151 is "MG 151" rather than "MG 151/15", the "15" already being included in the "151" designation and the MG 151/20 only retaining the "151" due to it being a modification or variant of the MG 151 rather than an entirely separate design.

Toonu Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) This ammo and weapons are added by Aviator Arsenal mod for BDA with this ammo, so maybe you can incorporate this ammo into stock mod @SpannerMonkey(smce)?

He has spent an obscene amount of time balancing his weapons to period levels of performance, and adoption of the new system would likely change the character and performance. Which in turn would mean going through the whole tedious and frustrating process once more.

Guest Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Should bullets do a tiny bit of overheating even if they overpenetrate the part it is hitting? And no, this is not for tank battles. So I was using the weapons made from @KSP Bros KS, and the 7.92mm turrets were actually getting LOTS of hits on my engine. The thing is, since they overpenned like that, the engine took no damage (aka it didn't overheat) But I think if they are going to put hundreds of small sized holes into my engine, the engine would be having problems.

SpaceCommanderNemo Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I've seen the note on the first post about CKAN support... But the CKAN entry is pointing to 2.1.2 still, even though the spacedock entry has been updated to 3.0. From quickly scanning github, it seems this was a fix for all the people who wanted to keep using CKAN and KSP 1.2, as it points to an internet-archive download for BDAc2.1.2. So... is there any chance this backwards fix could be... unfixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goduranus Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Could you guys make it so that missiles have fuel? So that they get lighter and more maneuverable as they burn like real missiles do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that they get lighter and more maneuverable as they burn like real missiles do. Missiles become more maneuverable with time, in order to simulate fuel burning. On the other hand modular Missiles don't need to simulate this. I suggest to add this enhancement proposal to GitHub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goduranus Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Cool, I started an issue on Github for the missile fuel burn request. Also, why did you take away the Wing Command controls on the Weapons Manager? I was using it to spread out my planes so they don't crash into each other while flying to the competition mode waypoint.

lancefoxcia Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 With the addition of penetration and bullet definitions. I've noticed a spike in how much damage a ballistic bullet does to panels of armor. Here's a video showing the differences Spoiler This can be repeated as I've tested with just a fresh copy of Ksp along with BDAc and PyRX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
