And I'll remind Zekes that the Soviet approach is still effective in space.

Soviet approach: you mean throw farmers at the enemy with nothing but a clip of bullets in their hand, and shoot them if they dare retreat?

Anyways, i dont get why people try to build these behemoths? There is always going to be a point where someone makes a hard counter weapon to any ship, and all that mass/part count gets wasted with a single good shot. Myself ive switched to more medium or small vessels with enough firepower to destroy any ship including those massive ones, and also, less costly too loose, and you can always deploy large numbers of them for same mass/part count. My SK-CRV-I is ~270 parts, carries weapons specifically designed to vaporize heavily armored vessels, and only weighs 65 tons fully armed/fueled.

Movie making is anoher story, there is always a use for a massive behemoth (especially if you script the combat so it feels powerful and mighty, and revert a save if something kills it too early), but in any serious battle, not very useful to have.

Honestly, I kind of agree. Unless their is some key element, having 1.1k parts on any ship is massive, even for interplanetary craft. Also, with ksp's limits, that many parts affects frames, especially if you want to get in near other ships.

However, can't deny that they are impressive and look nice!

Hatbat, I've got a new ship for you.

This is an 81 ton, 265 part ship. It's got 4 suber effective missiles designed to destroy 150+ ton Battleships. While not super well armored it is designed to stick with a larger force and pop in to deal massive damage to a larger ship and pop out.

How do you get that stuff into orbit pre 3.75m parts? Plus the huge amount of drag from old aero. Dang.

Well it was designed to be modular and I actually put two sections together in orbit with a T-9 lifter so it was technically possible.

Introducing the Panther.

Javascript is disabled. View full album

The best tank i have ever built that looks nice this tank has been days in the making. Equipped with 1 30mm chain-gun for A2A and destruction of light ground vehicles however this nothing compared to the 2 howitzers it uses to engage heavy vehicles from any range. No matter if you are 4 km or 500m this tank will kill you if you let it.

Action groups:

1 Fires the selected weapon

2 Selects the next weapon

Both sides can use the vehicle However it also comes equipped with a radar receiver for engaging aircraft with the chain-gun.
