questions about gameplay (with mods) and lookin fior something

[Psykikk]

ok , here we go

1.  whats the reason to use stuff like BDarmory or any other weapons mod ? 
there are  no AI / NPC targets with those, or am I wrong ? so unless you use any way of multiplayer mod ( are they allowing dogfights and such to work at all ?) : what the reason apart from looks and "role-playing" ? 

2. looking for a mod that let me launch / control several vessels at once ? 
(burn together still working ? did it ever work ? )

thanks in advance

basically I am looking for ways to spice up single player career mode.

I use Throttle Controlled Avionics to fly multiple helicopters in squadron mode.

Set the crafts to the same squadron and issue a follow me command from the active one then they all move and land together. 

Crafts have to be launched and gathered separately before putting them into a squadron.

I use it on rockets for accent to orbit guidance, precise landings and other maneuvers, but I've never used squadron mode in space.

For your first question, BDArmory adds modules along side the weapons that allow you to set up AI controlled tanks/ground vehicles and planes/aircraft. I also believe there is a module for a craft to behave as a missile, but I've never tried that one out. Using BDArmory's modules also does allow you to have crafts follow you as a wingman. There is a certain derivative of BDArmory created for the Runway Project and, in my opinion, it works a lot better for AI controlled competitions.
