United States Military Replica Series

[daemonCaptrix]

(All Stock)

Here I'll be posting galleries and downloads for a new series of craft I'm working on. I'll be adding them over time so I can take my time to perfect them as I go.

Feel free to post any craft of of your own that you want to show off. Just make sure they fit the replica theme!

--------------------------------------------------

Oshkosh M-ATV (Download)

Real Version: Built to resist explosions and shrapnel from mines and IEDs, the M-ATV (Mine Protected Ambush Resistant All Terrain Vehicle) is one of the toughest small mobility vehicles currently in service.

Replica Version: To mimic the toughness of the real thing, the whole body is made of high-impact-resistant parts. Since it's an ATV, I gave it extra-bouncy suspension. This allows it to jump over bumps without breaking its tires (usually), and has the added effect of going faster uphill than it does on level terrain (Kerbal physics!).

Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk (Download)

Real Version: Built to replace the Bell UH-1 "Huey", the Black Hawk serves the same role as a medium lift utility helicopter.

Replica Version: I used four jet engine parts attached to the main rotor blades to simulate the rotor's thrust, since working KSP helicopters are huge and ugly and fall apart. The docking port on the bottom is designed to allow air-lifting, but it's so hard to hover using jet engines that I haven't been able to make it grab anything yet. I tried to pay special attention to the look of the cockpit windows since they're so iconic to the Black Hawk.

I have one - the T95 Gun Motor Carriage. The T95 was designed to breach the Western Wall of Germany, but was completed only after the war ended.

Much like the real thing, it has two sets of wheels, heavy armor, and a heavy gun (flame). It's heavy enough to resist flame attacks, and easily bounces low velocity weapons. Only high penetration weapons are able to damage/knock out this tank, and more often than not, it's the gun that's damaged. She is as slow as the real thing; exceeding 15 m/s can be very bad.

Kawasaki XP-1.

This is the initial production model of the Kawasaki P-1A. It has a fuel tank to engine ratio of over 6, or over 3600 units of fuel for four turbofan engines, enabling loitering and C4ISR missions.

This model is armed with a SATCOM unit (bulge near the cockpit on the top), two SHARK guided missiles, and four parachute deployed sonar buoys. All weapons are carried in the large internal bomb bay.

External hard points are available upon request.

Arleigh Burke Flight-II

[it's an upgraded KDX-III]

In KSP, this ship displaces over 220 long tons, while my old Burke replica only displaced 120 tons. Did I mention the large flight deck?

Also, put to full throttle and SAS on before launching any missiles. When using the cruise missiles, press space after switching to them to remove boosters, and also correct orientation.

Also, enter the water at less than 10 m/s.

Numeral key 1 toggles the ship's main engines.

Disclaimer: The turret is not-operational atm, although it can fire the round. I'm still developing it.

The ship is armed with:

2X Brahmos missiles

8X AIM-56 VLS SAM's (Can be 20X, but that's an optional package. The rear VLS cells are empty unless you wish to fill them.)

1X MK-12 naval gun

1X Aegis Combat Suite

1X SPY-1D PAR Array

1X LIG Nex1 SLQ-200K Sonata EW Suite

7X GM LM1200 COGAG

United States replicas, please.

lol

It's okay to get a little off topic, but it'd be nice to have descriptions instead of just pictures. What does it do? How does the replica match the capabilities of the original?

Oh, sorry. I'll post some descriptors.

Well the PG-25 griffon is agile and has stealthy design

The PGB-4 Arkbird is fast at low altitude and carries bombs
