@MiffedStarfish can you give me the Download link for that crusier in the escort mission?

Sorry, I’m using it in a role play so I don’t want to hand out the craft file that much. Also it’s been rebuilt and still being tested.

Did you all know that air-to-air dogfighters are super bad at fighting naval ships? Yeah? Me too, but seeing a single one of my corvettes take down five of them in minutes sure helps morale...

Second fight had only three craft against the corvette, but they still lost. (That one Berzerker wasn't enough to defeat the ship).

Love the profile pic XD LOL

 

@MiffedStarfish Ok then. :c tell me if/when I can use it

anyone else have a glitch that hurls medium landing geared craft into the sky? my WWI AN-T and AG-1 would have had those but they were glitchy

[Sidestrafe2462]

I have made a 300-part super huge aircraft carrier

[Sidestrafe2462]

supercarrier Avalon causes some lag issues though

 Pics?

sec

[Sidestrafe2462]

not finished, so far can withstand up to 500 30 mm rounds without a single trace of damage, a abrams gun with minmal dmg, and a torpedo to port just makes it list a bit

450 parts as of now, about 30 struts

im using your corvettes as test gunners

its armed with 8 arbrams guns 6 CIWS (2 on each sides hull one behind and front of the bridge) and 8 AIM 120 missiles. its vulnerable to a center deck strike so dive bombers are an issue

[Sidestrafe2462]

I think ill try to copy the Castellum, I really like the hull

for a escort frigate

hi!

OI!

Please don't steal my designs.

[Sidestrafe2462]

I know, im reverse engineering it with my own designs XD no copyright issues

as in comparing and improving XD my own designs

[Sidestrafe2462]

sadly there are no good heavy cannons smaller than the abrams :c

Howitzers, maybe?

Also, please don't copy designs. Inspiration from looking at the pics, yes, but try to resist from picking apart the ships and copying the stuff onto your own craft.

[Sidestrafe2462]

I know.

At first I didn't even notice the Goalkeepers  It's so big

[Sidestrafe2462]

IKR, and tough, its completely impervious to 30mm and will tank most hits from anything else like missiles

Loading planes on it though....

Aside from that, what are you going to use it for?

[Sidestrafe2462]

added jammers, two lasers and a FLIR, some smoke too

i dunno, its like a battleship with a flight deck, could use it as a antiship flagship 

im gonna run a battle between it and the four corvettes XD

any deck strike will cripple it though

but the deck is insanely tough

the ww1 planes CAN take off it somehow

im going to make a jump jet now

Two in one!

Oh wait

What about..........submarine warfare? Has no one thought of that.....

The AI wouldn't be able to control subs though. Hm...

[Sidestrafe2462]

JUUUUUUUUUUUMP JEEEEEEETS! can take off VTOL with half gas or like on a dime at full gas XD

[Sidestrafe2462]

huh.......

ima make a combat ship now

theres no point in AA millennium guns now

I thought about it a bit. But subs are complicated to build and control, generally slow, and it does not provide the same kind of advantage as it does IRL, since BDA guns seem to work just fine underwater.

So they might work if your opponent didn't think of putting a turret on the bottom of the ship and the topside turrets cannot look down far enough, but otherwise... not so sure.

In other news, turns out fixed guns on ships are not as ridiculous as they sound:

Have any of y'all considered running this on DMP?  We could get some cool results if we got it to work.
