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

This WIP is soon to have a full official release with a lot of changes coming soon. Mainly QOL and other changes that will bring a bit of freshness to the mod. (I think.) 

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

Download Here: SpaceDock Link (1.4) Github Releases Link (1.4) - In case spacedock fails

Have you tried running it with module manager, and physics range extender?

[Sidestrafe2462]

Do you plan on revamping/updating all the relevant turrets to have pintle MGs? (M1A2 should have a couple, m60 turret miniturrets are nonfunctional, MBT-70 20mm, Tiger MG42, etc).

I love the ones we have already, so don't sweat it. You're doing great work!

[Jamma368]

[Jamma368]

I wouldn't know where to start with track if you ask me. 
I could look into it sometime in the future? but for now, I wouldn't have any slight idea how it might work.

[Jamma368]

for this mod i have a idea the m163 minigun turret i think it will be a nice addon

When can we see parts for British tanks

Edited September 12, 2021 by Kerbal410

[Kerbal410]

now that I think of it, can you add smoke grenade dischargers to all the tanks with them? (T-90, Leopard 2A5, Strv 122, ect) or perhaps add a setting to switch between an MG  or smoke dischargers? 

Edited September 7, 2021 by Kerbal410
I don't want to overwhelm anyone with what I had in mind

this would be sick

Minus the fact that all these turrets would need to be featured in different updates related to the countries that they belong too rather than in one massive one, witch means that we would need to wait a bit to see all of these, including the turret you want to see in the mod

true but lancefoxcia is a BEAST 

[Colonizor48]

Could you add some pre made recreations.

I've been out of this for a while, but I need to get back into the swing. New job and moved. So I've been out in terms of modding. The British tanks are next in the lineup. But I do want to sprinkle in some other tank turrets too. 

 

That's a personal update of mine. Adding more pentile guns is planned. Smoke dispenser would need some fixing from the devs of Bdac Runway.

in that case, can you add tank turrets that combine missiles and guns? (like the ADATS, M6 Linebacker and 2K22 Tunguska) or perhaps a turret with just missiles like the AN/TWQ-1 Avenger?

ADATS                                                                                                                        2K22 Tunguska

M6 Linebacker                                                                                                  AN/TWQ-1 Avenger

Edited October 5, 2021 by Kerbal410
If your not sure how to add these then add missile turrets and then have a separate part for the guns.

I actually just learned how to make missiles not too long ago. Which means I could implement some of these.
For now, I'll send an image of a missile I made. AGM-119 

[Sidestrafe2462]

Penguin!

BTW, if you hadn't noticed, the pack's turrets have no muzzle flash. I can see textures for them in the mod folders, so I assume that's not intended.

[Kerbal410]

nice! can you also add  turrets for the Flakpanzer Geopard and Sargant York SPAAGs, the M1128 Mobile Gun System as well as the M163 suggested by Jamma368? sorry if this is too much

yes yes 

 

[Kerbal410]

now that I think of it, why isn't there a side piece for the quarter and 45 degree pipes?

Edited December 11, 2021 by Kerbal410
Really hope you add the AN/TWQ-1 Avenger with a .50 M3P machine gun as I just found out it has
