Calling aircraft manufacturers and privateer (not pirate) teams to enter the UNF SAFE (Suppression of Aggressive Forces Event)! Send an existing or new aircraft design to be evaluated for mission use. The aircraft must fulfil a heavy attack role.
The missions should have an Ace Combat feel but with the more simulator-like model of SP. A balance of simulation and all-out action.
Q: What is SAFE?
It is a semi-regular program hosted by the new-UN to:
- Control the separatist presence around the world
- Advance the technology and economy of the united world bloc
- Allow manufacturers and pilots to gain recognition
Note:
- The enemy has many ships, SAMs, and CIWS systems. If you choose to fly exclusively with Infernos, missions may take 20-30+ of them.
- A single user can send multiple aircraft but the team name should be different for each
- Remember to justify "abnormal" aircraft performance.
Aircraft Requirements:
- Modern (Gen. 4-5) to moderately futuristic
- Air-to-ground capabilities, but take air-to-air in mind
- High weapon capacity and high-damage guns
- Carrier operations capable
- Fairly manouverable
- Suggested low CPU usage for potatoes
- Suggested low altitude speed of Mach 1-2
- Suggested no mods, or include no mods version
- Suggested to have multiple loadouts
- Not expected to be fully realistic, this is a few decades into the future
Comment Requirements:
- Aircraft name and link
- Team name (usually a company name and division)
- "Sales pitch" (why the aircraft is good, can be in the description)
- Canon (justification of certain features, can be in the description)
All aircraft will be evaluated as benchmark aircraft so players can determine a suitable aircraft performance for the right difficulty (unless there are too many). A separate post with full remarks will be made and linked in the mod post (maybe 2-4+ weeks later, who knows).
@AstleyIndustries Ok, thanks!
@Jim1the1Squid i have already tried it, which is why i posted the comment thing
Might be moving the challenge into the aircrafts area instead soon, stay tuned
@AstleyIndustries Are you still able to try it?
@Jim1the1Squid F-13 Longhorn
- Compared to my own benchmark aircraft, this is fast, but it does not turn very well. Turning radius is huge
- Uses weapons (Cleaver) which has the stock low speed, which unfortunately means you can't really use it due to CIWS. No guns also means no way to deal with remaining targets after missiles and bombs are used.
Difficulty for mod missions: probably shouldn't use it
Team name is Hell Fire Fighters
Warburg Aerospace Inc.
Very heavily armed, with 16 attachment points. Has afterburner which propels aircraft to 1500+MPH, can take down USS Beast and the destroyers with munitions to spare.
No guns, too fast.
Not too maneuverable at low speeds (400-900 MPH)
Hehe
