And it has supermaneuverable pachy death fighters..........haven't seen that one in a while. So we have a pachy death fighter, except instead of being a cumbersome, anemic missile slinger outside of PDF mode, its lethal as a regular fighter and a flying turret in PDF mode...nice!

 

Wow was not expecting those.

@GillyMonster i'm having some pretty hellacious issues with your craft. Particularly with Infernal Robotics and a part called Ir. Segment. tubelarge..5m00, so i may need to put it on hold for a bit, unless you're willing to help me with the Infernal Robotics install.

Darn.  I thought I pulled all the IR parts off.  I'll fix it.  Sorry about the issues.

Pachy death fighters are like the spanish inquisition: no one expects them.

Next up, @ZLM-Master's Rafale takes on the DUNDUNDUN by @Dundun65C

Once again, a very competent guns-only fighter, but once you get a deathfighter in play, you may as well auto-lose

No worries! I'll also warn you, the code for DCK really degrades my framerate, so don't be horrendously surprised if its choppy in places.

!!!!8v8 DEATHMATCH TRIGGERED! RAFALE VS DU-3!!!!!

I don't think it needs DCK so I'll pull that off too.

Oh man, I can't wait for Rafale PDF vs Rabid Squirrel Rover.

@exbyde  Third/fourth times the charm?  Stock except tweakscale and BDarmory https://kerbalx.com/GillyMonster/Warhammer-40k-Hell-Blade

Perfect! Thanks!

[exbyde]

Alright, so, lets catch up on the technicalities here. @ZLM-Master's aircraft is facing off with @dundun92's Du-3 fighter. First battle is...remarkably one sided.

I was all prepped to video the Rafale's last fight for a while, but then

The final head on ended...very interestingly. The Du-3 has its own death fighter of sorts (though it lacks an engine), but that has just been more of a death glider or escape method until today, when the final pass ended with a draw! An 8v8 will be up shortly to settle this...

[GillyMonster]

Has anyone noticed if you focus on one aircraft for too long during a fight it'll straighten out and rock back and forth for a while?

Not sure. Spectator effects on combatants still elude me.

I'll use an observer aircraft for assured unbiased testing when I test, if I feel that I need to.

I noticed testing a couple of mine, if you switch to a different aircraft the rocking one will almost immediately turn around and be aggressive again.

Alright, double feature (or triple, idk). First off, the 8v8 MEGA BATTLE of @ZLM-Master's Rafale against @dundun92's DU-3.

In a very one-sided battle, the DU-3 holds its spot against the Rafale, setting the Rafale in the #4 spot! Next up, @GillyMonster's Hellblade 40k replica takes on the DunDunDun by @Dundun65C

Unfortunately, this craft just isn't agile enough to take on the likes of the DUNDUNDUN! bonus battles against @dundun92's Du-3 below

I definitely limited their gun range to way too short *facepalm*

yeah...i don't know anyone on here who reduces gun range. Oh well, the nice thing is admission is free, just improve and resubmit at your convenience

[OvoFox11]

Are there any rules limiting the clipping you can have on a craft?

[exbyde]

Alright, next up, we have @prgmTrouble's X-13 Præsidium Nova which i will never call it again because words. On the other side we have the DunDunDun! by @Dundun65C. Can the Nova with its old-school missile armament knock out the DDD?

This one was pretty close, but unfortunately no. The DDD wipes the Nova off the charts.

Also hot damn, that 1v3 victory was brutal.

I'd honestly say go for a version of that aircraft maybe with one AIM-9, may do a touch better. There was a time when that aircraft would have done well, that was probably december before we started using BDAC 1.0 with the whole Stealth implementation

I know, I made the original craft without weapons before I even heard of this challenge! This was mostly decked with missiles and bullets at the suggestion of @[INDO]dimas_1502 on KerbalX. I may do a specialized fighter later, with a fitting name of course!

Just remember the name cannot be a swear word in another language please!

Alright, and now, we have the Wasp from @Steven Kerman. This thing looks vicious, with a drop-away trolley, good armament and small profile. So how will it do against @Dundun65C's DundunDUNNNN!!!

Does pretty darn well, beating out the D for the #5 spot, though its clear it is not much of a sniper with the guns. Now how about...the #4 spot?

(first battle was cut off a little by operator error. sorry)

Yeah no. @ZLM-Master Rafale's precision gunwork wins it the day, and keeping the wasp at #5

@Box of Stardust I think i'm going to call it a night but had two notes for you

1. your aircraft is placing #5 after bearing out the Wasp

2. Are the engines supposed to twerk up and down?

Uhh... nope.

I guess this is what happens when I have Kerbal Joint Reinforcement installed, but others don't.

If you wanna just modify your design with a strut or something and resubmit, or just leave it as is, either option works for me.

Are autostruts / rigid attachment part of stock? They show up as toggles for me, but I'm not sure if they're stock... or if they do what I think they do.
