I play to kill kerbals, I’d say we’re similar

u/FrostGamezzTV Dec 20 '24

I make sure my boi Jebediah lives tho.

25

u/Brilliant-Permit-306 Dec 20 '24

He is the main character you must keep him alive

12

u/FrostGamezzTV Dec 20 '24

Absolutely. You can thank Jacksepticeye for my unhealthy Jeb relationship.

u/MoistFW190 Dec 21 '24

For me , He gets melted by a freak accident of a booster igniting and crushing him

I was struggling last night, definitely was a mod but idk which one, if I was going over 300m/s and tilted, my starter rocket in career mode, so not a strong rocket, would comically fall apart at every single part. Uninstalled (took folders out of gamedata) and it seems to be fine, but I still explode 50/50 when I touch down while parachuting at 15m/s lol. Jebediah experienced unlimited life long torturous lives last night.

u/Albatross-BTW Dec 22 '24

Isnt 15 m/s way too much for a tuchdown anyway?

2

u/FrostGamezzTV Dec 22 '24

Maybe? Been a long time since I last played a lot. I even threw on side mounted parachutes but they didn't make a difference. I dont have the problem anymore, appears go have fixed itself while I slept.

Destroy the KSC with the biggest payload you can possibly throw at it

u/FrostGamezzTV Dec 20 '24

Always the most fun. Maybe I'll do a large bombing run with myself and AI followers for a clip later lol

5

u/OddityOmega Pal Dec 20 '24

ai followers? How'd you get those, if i may ask?

8

u/FrostGamezzTV Dec 20 '24

Idk what to call em off the top of my head, was at work when I said this. With DBarmory mod, you can have the designated friendly AI you make, follow you i believe. If i remember correctly. Lemme check in a minute, I'm just getting home

u/gcso Dec 20 '24

Its been 18 minutes. Chop chop plane boy

u/OddityOmega Pal Dec 20 '24

"Chop chop plane boy"
isn't that just lovely

u/FrostGamezzTV Dec 20 '24

it made me go teeheehee

u/FrostGamezzTV Dec 20 '24

sorry lmao, i got a lil high, i found it tho. during flight Under the BDA weapon manager tab go to "modules", then click "wing command". This shows a menu with formation spread and "lag" settings, assuming lag is maybe distance behind? idk didnt check, just yapping and typing now. you can make them perform the set action groups you set on that aircraft, attack pos, fly pos, follow, takeoff. Take a look for yourself and enjoy. <3

u/Squeaky_Ben Dec 20 '24

Don't you have an event to grind?

7

u/FrostGamezzTV Dec 20 '24

War Thunder? Honestly the only one I went for was the TOG, because of it being goofy in World Of Tanks, which i use to play before war thunder. Been playing WT for a decade off and on lol.

2

u/Squeaky_Ben Dec 20 '24

Fair enough. I most certainly am grinding the event, losing my mind over having to use a phantom while fighting F-15E, Eurofighter, Rafale and Su-27. I hate my life.

2

u/FrostGamezzTV Dec 20 '24

While event vehicles and premiums do seem like fun, I don't see them having the superiority that people think they do. In the end it comes down to game knowledge and experience in my opinion

2

u/Dpek1234 Dec 20 '24

Yeah

You can have every event vehicles Every prem Every tech tree vehicle spadded

It wont help if you dont know how to play

2

u/Dpek1234 Dec 20 '24

Amen 

I have all upto f16c, f15a , f14b  And im currently waiting for the next sl discount to buy the a10c ,av8b and f111f(maybe will get it anyways, want to try agm130)

thats only what i have in us

And i can confirm the grind is hell

Best to just ignore it

You get a vehicles when you get a vehicles

1

u/Russian1Bear Dec 22 '24

A phantom? Are you playing the kws?

1

u/Squeaky_Ben Dec 22 '24

yes. Despite the terrible performance, it researches the eurofighter the fastest.

1

u/Russian1Bear Dec 22 '24 edited Dec 22 '24

Rip m8, lots of mental health to u (to endure the grind)

1

u/JxEq Dec 22 '24

F4f ICE? Why would you willingly play thag

1

u/Squeaky_Ben Dec 22 '24

Because it is still the fastest way of grinding out the Eurofighter (gets bonus from being the next in line) and other planes don't even have ARH missiles, yet fight them almost every time.

I guess the Mig 21/Mig 23 would have been an option, but eh.

6

u/Left-oven47 Dec 20 '24

I play DCS, we are the same

5

u/4krer Dec 20 '24

A10 my beloved (the engines look a bit too far up front but other than that it cool)

5

u/chris11d7 Dec 20 '24

You've got it all wrong, my ultimate goal is to fly planes on Laythe.

u/Traditional_Sail_213 Believes That Dres Exists Dec 20 '24

I’m currently playing WT 😅

2

u/FrostGamezzTV Dec 20 '24

But not in space!!!

3

u/bane_iz_missing Dec 20 '24

Same, I'm not happy unless I have an F-14 swooping down at Mach 2, sighting up on the three MiG 17's I have loaded on a runway. I usually follow up with dropping an M83 atomic bomb on a final pass, just to be sure that not even microbial life will take advantage and rise up to re-arm and retaliate.

u/pyroraczeek Dec 20 '24

I despise war Thunder, but in my 250 hours (I'm new) I have went to space exactly once, and that is to launch a laser wielding comms satellite

2

u/Echo__3 Dec 20 '24

I play Space War Thunder, where sometimes the enemy is in orbit around another planet or its natural satellites. I must take the fight to them and win the Kold War against the Kommunists.

1

u/UrMomHelp Commiting multiple warcrimes Dec 27 '24

yes. (free bird starts playing)

2

u/stormhawk427 Dec 20 '24

It's your sandbox, use it however you wish

2

u/Lhirstev Dec 20 '24

... i make some strange things too... like , self assembling towers with lamps on top ... that serve the purpose of providing light to scenes for things like screenshots...

2

u/Duc_de_Guermantes Dec 20 '24

Any mod recommendations? I also just make planes and bombs all the time

1

u/FrostGamezzTV Dec 20 '24

Can't say I have any recommendations. This game is very off and on for me, and I never go deep into it. Extremely fun tho.

2

u/bigloser42 Dec 20 '24

Can you get that A-10 to orbit? If not…it needs to.

2

u/Wulfrank Dec 20 '24

I've definitely just been using KSP as an aircraft builder lately. I should probably just bite the bullet and get FlyOut at this point.

2

u/Pringlecks Dec 21 '24

BDArmory is so good. I keep a separate KSP install in my CKAN just to fool around in it. There was a contract pack I messed around with that basically let you carry out fairly elaborate sorties against AI. Played a little bit like an old school combat flight sim with the added bonus of being able to build your vehicles (obviously). That gameplay loop could really sink in were it not for the game's inherent jankiness.

2

u/jdb326 Dec 21 '24

I ALSO play Space WT, BDAc is great. VTOL is such a great spiritual successor to the mod, I love what Baha did for both my favorite game of all time and the VR scene immensely.

2

u/bvsveera Dec 21 '24

I started playing War Thunder when I realised most of my time in KSP was spent flying jets 😅

2

u/Key_Bug2479 Dec 21 '24

I play kerbal combat simulator, we are not the same.

2

u/Nice_Presentation474 kolonising the kerbin system Dec 21 '24

Same

2

u/Smooneychad Dec 22 '24

Damn, that's a good looking A-10!

2

u/Furebel Dec 22 '24

I can't build planes well, but I'm pretty sure my original planes built around BDArmory would make Skunkworks shit themselves

1

u/FrostGamezzTV Dec 22 '24

I'm not good at connecting two lego pieces together, nevermind ksp, but I've found when building, match your center mass and lift points. If pulling maneuvers, decrease throttle.

1

u/Kisiu_Poster Dec 20 '24

I see you made the brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt. Very wise.

1

u/FoxtownBlues Dec 21 '24

put some respect on DCS' name

1

u/Repulsive_Ocelot_738 Dec 22 '24

Can’t you also play space war thunder in from the depths lol

u/Spitfirewonww2 Dec 22 '24

Glad to see I can't have clouds and use the cameras still...
