Nuclear Weapons Redux (70s and 80s)

[+daddyairplanes]

so i've been going through KB331's old weapons kit and looking at the nukes. there are some issues noted, and once again im asking for any modeler to help out and knock out some simple yet more accurate shapes. by the numbers

      B28RE

this is the parachute retarded version of the B28 external carry bomb. current version in game does not have a chute, and has four fins to 3 IRL

 

                      B53   9 megaton special weapon

back end needs corrected with wedge shape, fins thicker

 

                       B43  70kt and 1.1MT nuclear weapon

this actually looks ok in game. however, the original max file had the bmp named as B-58pods  and the white areas next to and on the orange chute? thats all the mapped space for the weapon(not any of the stuff in the upper half) given its a 256x256 bmp,  its a very small space to detail.

it also needs a parachute retarded version, as well as regular. in photos seems to be no difference in shape between the versions

           

    

 

                            B83  Nuclear weapon

it just seems a bit off in the fin shape, and the nose is stepped rather than smooth. not a high priority compared to others. a redux would also need a chute to retard it

 

                   B57 nuclear bomb and depth charge

we dont have this at all as far as i can tell.

 

B28FI, RI, and EX models are good to go, the Mk41/B41 bomb and Hound Dog missile are good with light reskinning, B61 has been updated in depth recently, and SRAM probably good to go with reskin.

i can do major skinning once a map (even all one color) is provided, and aim to release a post 1968 pack (after all MKxx weapons became Bxx). this was originally to be a release of all the B28 models (KB331s updated and russouk2004s new models) but once again im getting ambitious. ini work i can also handle, just not the models (esp those needing chutes)

thank you in advance for any help you modelers can give, and hopefully this one can get knocked out fairly quickly

There has never in the history of flight simulation been such a thing as "TOO MUCH FIREPOWER"!! More nukes??!!?? H#@LL YES!!!

[FETCH2015]

this may not be realistic … but they sure are fun to play the sim with …

 

[+daddyairplanes]

well my usual anti ship weapon for the Soviet battle groups in the North Atlantic is a triple shot of AGM-69s so.........

[+daddyairplanes]

update

the B83 isnt looking as bad as i thought it was, even before playing with it.

amazing what some strategically placed lines will do to alter the nose shape

 

the Hound Dog proved to have bad mapping tho, with several parts overlapping like a canard over the back end of the fuselage (lower left corner). shame cause i wanted to make a camoflaged one like the last 5 years or so of operations

I will have a hound dog for you daddy...

 

this sounds sick....

 

[KJakker]

I will be happy to help out like I did with the internal B28 bombs.

[+daddyairplanes]

original AIM-26 Nuclear Falcon skin,l straight from the weapons pack

reworked

 

 

 

 

[KJakker]

Don't bother. Ravenclaw_007 made a better one.

 

[+daddyairplanes]

well dammint,  thought someone had fixed it couldnt remember who

do you know if theres a Genie and/or ACM thats fixed up as well?

[KJakker]

There are two Genie models that I know of. I have attached the better of the two for you to look at.

AIR-2A_GENIE.7z

As far as I know no mod for the AGM-129 ACM exist.

[+yakarov79]

skin for that Genie

[+daddyairplanes]

AGM-129 is in here

https://combatace.com/files/file/13046-cruise-missile-update-pack-for-sf2na/

but its extremely basic, with no intake even (its intake was flush on the underside)

will look at the Genie later this evening

[+daddyairplanes]

little bump to let you all know this is still going

found lindr2's model for the Mk17 15 mt weapon. only able to be carried by the B-36.

got it into game, fitted out the B-36 to carry it

the SHAPE is actually fairly good.

 

the SIZE needs work, as two of four bomb bays had to be merged together IRL to carry it

[+ravenclaw_007]

here are the B61 bombs , includet are

• B61-1 , USAF , 10 kt and 340 kt
• B61-2 , USN , 10 kt and 150 kt
• B61-3 , USAF / NATO , 0,3 kt , 1,5 kt , 60 kt and 170 kt
• B61-4 , USAF / NATO , 0,3 kt , 1,5 kt , 10 kt and 45 kt
• B61-5 , USAF , 10 kt and 150 kt
• B61-7 , USAF , 10 kt , 170 kt and 340 kt
• B61-10 , USAF , 0,3 kt , 5 kt , 10 kt and 80 kt
• B61-11 , USAF , 0,3 kt , 340 kt and 400 kt ( Earth Penetrading Weapon )

B61 Nuclear Bombs.7z

all bombs are Retarded exept for B61-1 , B61-2 and B61-11, before you install this weapons please delete any other B61 bomb from your mod folder

the B61-12 is still in work but it will take some time to finish it because my 3ds max computer is not working

Nice...only noticed earlier was asked about the B28IN   cant find any good pics to determine sizes etc...google lately seems to find shit thats fuck all to do with what you type.....

My observation on the IN is that dropping the chute containers ( big cylinder in back) and placing fins on the main body should be workable. It wasnt retarded, and fit in a Thud's bombbay, so not too big.

Google searches remind me of a tv show a few years back, loosely based on Delta ( or CAG or whatever theyre called today). At the end of one episode, they said "loosen the kill chain". Vague, loose inputs often seem to get better results than precise inputs.

And for those wondering about the episode, they capture, then release one of their own who'd gone rogue. Then watched to see who he contacted, to see who they contacted, to find the actual target.

[+russouk2004]

This the one.?...only pic could find of left side,and it was in older post here   ha  fk google

[+ravenclaw_007]

this are the 3 pictures i used to build the B28IN bomb

 

[+daddyairplanes]

yeah scratch earlier comment on the IN, posted from phone and was forgetting about that slight taper on the back end

my google comment still stands.

ravenclaw, that last pic is the best graphic on the building block quality of the B28 package i've seen in probably over 150 hours now of image hunting nukes

don't ask how many hours i searched 

for the B61-11 i just found 14 not very detail pictures and it took me 3 months and i still have no picture of the rear , modding would be much easier if we had not to search for pictures and info material all the time
