Russian style launchers

[DRHARNESS]

OK so i have built a giant space station based on the iss and i wanted to build a Suize like rocket for crew transfer so even in the mod pages i couldn't find any parts that look similar to Russian style launch vehicles so squad could you please add steep sloping fuel tanks so i can build a soize rocket

BobCat has made Soviet/Russian style launch systems and spacecraft components as part of his Historical Spacecrafts Soviet Pack:

A steep sloping tank would pretty much only be used on soyuz or russian lookalikes.

Use the PartGen mod. Here's one I did, others are possible too.

A sloped tank or nose cone is useful for more than just for Russian boosters (see Ariane 5 or SLS advanced boosters). Also the Soyuz is the most flown human carrying rocket in the world. Surely it's history deserves some love from ksp.

Exactly plus there there would be so much more possibilities in everything with tanks like that

Sloping tanks are possible with that stock tail part, I did a full chronological history of spaceflight once and here was my take on Soyuz:

and even the tank separation forms a cross and looks pretty cool, just like the real one. I used the same method for sputnik but just downscaled.

as for the spacecraft I did it like this:

3 crew maximum, but 2 descending

as for FGB and DOS modules, here's how I did them (MIR being constructed):

nice nothke i never thought of that but the interior boaster is supposed to get smaller at the bottom

How on earth do you get the VAB to understand what you meant it to do? When I try that I end up with the tail staying vertical parallel with the central tank, not angled up against it along one edge like you show it here.

Doesn't look the part. The four outside tanks of the Soyuz rocket curve into the main rocket.
