  1. The return of float planes. They got a little trickier since steel girders no longer double as flotation devices, but I did manage to build a something workable. You have to be careful when taking off from the waters surface; too much throttle at low speeds will just push your nose into the drink. Landing almost couldn't be easier, though. If you want to be really lazy, you can just kill the engines at altitude, let it glide down, then lower the flaps when you are about 30m from the surface. As long as your ground speed is sub 45m/s, you should be golden.

     

    The KBY Katalina

  2. Its the same for me, I have a 58% win rate in the T-54, and 51% in the T-62A

     

    The problem is, that although they look similar, the T-62A doesn't play like a higher tier T-54. The T-54 you can tank with and get aggressive against same tier and lower vehicles, but the T-62A sacrificed the hull armor that allows you to pull those shenanigans. It is also differently mobile than the T-54. It has a lower specific power and top speed, but half the terrain resistance. Top that off with limited gun depression and low alpha, and it makes for a tricky tank to play for tier X.

  3. Well, 64 bit support is needed before the nuclear version can actually fly. So I decided to rebuild the hull(s) for using KR-2Ls. It has slightly more than half the delta V of the nuclear version, but it can put itself into a 200km orbit from the launch pad with only the assistance of some SRBs. It could make a very decent heavy hauler to take moderately sized ships to Duna or Eve.

     

    It's primary propulsion comes from 13 KR-2Ls, and it has 4 aerospikes for retro burns when performing orbital rendezvous.

     

    It is still in development and getting prepped for missions, but I give you the Avalon.

     

    Somewhere around 2000 tons on the pad and 1.2 million credits.

    The nuclear variant undergoing testing, things didn't end well. Yes, that is 84 engines.

  4. The purpose of that beast is to deliver a mining lander to Ike and to send small manned ships to Dres in one mission. It also has an ore processor, so it should be able to somewhat replenish its fuel from smaller celestial bodies.

     

    That particular ship is the Kshatriya. Its sister ship, the Cataphract, sports a slightly modified hull, and will take two orbiter stations to Eve and Gilly, and might cruise to Moho. The Cataphract could also carry up to 8 small manned ships. Keep in mind, each small ship has about 3-5k delta V, depending on configuration. The shorter range ones are intended as emergency escape pods that are capable of returning to Kerbin from damn near anywhere.

     

    However, these pale in comparison to the most recent ship, which is undergoing construction and ground testing at the moment. It's planned mission is to Jool.
