[1.9.x - 1.12.x] Fox Defense Contracts - Tank Turrets (BDArmory Plus) Update 2.2 Legacy Hardware Updates

lancefoxcia · July 17, 2017

Fox Defense Contracts is both in itself a mod and an Expansion of BDArmory Plus. The main goal is to add in much more tank turrets for both the KSP war communities and the creative community.

(It is not a contract mod!) - Think of it like contractors E.G: Lockheed Martain, GeneralDynamics Etc.

I would love to hear suggestions about what to add in and what to change.

Requires: BDArmory Plus V1.6.11 or later.

Download Here: SpaceDock Link (2.2) Github Releases Link (2.2) - In case spacedock fails

Installation: Delete any existing FoxDefenseContracts and FDC_Armor folders. Then drag and drop the new one into the GameData folder. This is to decrease any incompatibility issues or any parts not found issues!

Do you plan to update these with texture switch and non-camo textures?

The textures can be changed very easily. Since they're PNG's they can be edited by any editing program.

XOC2008 · July 18, 2017

Yeah but then they'd just be flat textures. I was talking about preserving some detail instead of losing it.

I'll see what I can do. I mainly did these for Penguins and Tapes fall of kerbin series and they were mostly fine with the snow camo on what they needed. Though never really heard of the whole texture switch thing.

lancefoxcia · July 19, 2017

Update: 0.1.1

- Changed T57 Shell weight, Shell velocity, and minor turret speed changes to Real life values.
- Changed T26E4 Shell weight, Shell velocity, and minor turret speed changes to Real life values.

Expect more changes to come. Right now in the process of changing textures for tanks. Will also add a new turret.

Atatra · July 21, 2017

hey these are really cool! are you planning a spacedock release for convenience at any point? i'd love to see when this mod updates.

Another question: Do you plan to fill in all the new BDAc bullet types and such now that BDA has a new armor and penetration system? (I ask because these turrets are nice and all but they don't do a whole lot of damage to much of anything in my game. I know you made them initially for Tape and Beardy's Youtube series and they use an older BDA and apparently only recently updated which explains why some of their weapons work now and some don't.)

Yeah, I'll look into porting it to there and probably CKAN as well.

Yep. I just gotta look into how some of the bullets configs and see how they did the penetration values for each bullet. But I definitely will make sure they get their respective bullet types.

Will you make a M60A1/A3 (105mm) and even the Modernized M60 Turret of Raytheon's Modernized M60 Patton (120mm)?

Sure, I can do so. Though I didn't know that it had the 120mm However I read things about it. I'll see if I can incorporate that into the turret as well.

Here's proof that the M60 Patton can too be equiped with the Rheinmetall L/44 120mm/M256:

And for the Modernized Hull and Tracks the SLEP M60A3 And the M60-2000 (The same Modernized M60A3 MBT but with a M1 Abrams Turret), I wished there's a update for Both Never Enuff Dakka and Kerbal Founderies or a Mod for it......

Vonnmillard · July 26, 2017

Also, I wanna know, how do I edit the damage of "weapontype:ballistic" weapons like these? For Example, the Tiger II Turret?

Edited July 26, 2017 by Vonnmillard
To state a weapon for example that has "weapontype = ballistic"

It should work in 1.3 just fine, though @SpannerMonkey(smce) hasn't made any fixes for the new BDAc bullet defs yet. If I recall correctly he even made some improvements to a couple turrets.

The bullet mass affects how much "heat" it does to a part. Link to BDAc Wiki here so that you could change the weapon type. If you change it to cannon make sure to add
cannonShellPower
cannonShellHeat
cannonShellRadius

I know Kerbal founderies has a continued version. Here's the forum post for it

I'll most likely be able to put the turret in sometime soon.

XOC2008 · July 27, 2017

Well damn now I'll need to bug Spanner about making an M60 hull again.

The_Right_Arm · July 27, 2017

This is a pretty awesome mod, and I appreciate the variety it adds to my KSP arsenal. I'm know you play world of tanks, but do you remember Gnomefather's sound mod for that game? There's a great variety of sounds included in that mod, and while it no longer works for WoT, I have adapted a lot of the old sounds to great effect to mods in KSP. Might be worth looking into if you're interested.

Yeah, feel free to modify the sounds to Gnomefather's WOT sounds. I've used some of the old and new WOT sounds for some of the tanks firing.

Do you think there could be older turrets in the mod like the 37mm on the Renault FT-17?

Hey I've made a new Update!

Version: 0.2.0: Bullet variety Update!

- Added M60A3 105MM Turret, and 120MM turret (Stat changes)
- Added Bullet Definitions and Penetration values for all tank turrets
- There are now new bullet types for the older turrets resulting adding tons of turrets for variety. AP, APDS, APC, APCBC, HE, HESH, HEAT, HEATFS, APFSDS, etc

I hope to work closely with the developers of BDAc so that I could condense the amount of turrets though. I want to have 1 turret carry the different types of bullets.

This update also works with 1.2.2 as tested!

I'm guessing with a "fuel switch" module you could have different ammo types in the sph, but you likely couldn't switch on the fly in the main scene.
