Lately ive had a lot of fun with dogfighting so I wanted to have a nice competition between aircraft....

-All aircraft are computer controlled
-Su-30SM now has normal missiles
-Best 2/3
-All aircraft start from "Far"
-Part health are all the same
-200 flairs each
-Added ATA missiles to Hellkeska
Pros/Cons
Su-30SM:
Pros: Really high AOA, High turn rate, large flairs, Super Maneuverability
Cons: Guns arent accurate or effective, looses energy quickly, Very Large
Wasp (F/A-18 hornet)
Pros: Maintains energy really well, High AOA, Good gun
Cons: Hard to recover energy, Hard to lock
Pigpen (Saab JAS 39 Gripen):
Pros: Maintains energy well, "Acrobat" Mode, Good at low speed.
Cons: Lower Speed, Poor Gun.
Vertigo (Harrier):
Pros:Verticle nozzles good for maintaining energy, Can stay in the air longer even when slow
Cons: No gun, Low speed, Low AOA, Doesnt gain altitude qickly
Hellkeska (Su-24):
Pros: High turn rate/High speed
Cons: No gun, Low flairs
For each round you guess correctly, you receive 1 upvote (@ me if you guessed correctly) I will post results in 4 days... good luck!
ALSO if you want me to add more competitors @ me; must be under 600 parts and be a (sort of) replica of a fighter jet with full 1.11 cockpit/weapons.
Full credit goes to @Aghsan22 for his Su-30SM
btw for those who dont know energy in dogfights is like speed/turn rate
okay bye!
@Dragoranos Yes, but I couldn’t resist having a little fun.
@BeastHunter hes a bot
@BobbyLogan
That’s called a gambling addiction.
and tbh most su-30 flight models on this site are trash so not sure if itll be accurately represented
but who built the aircraft and how accurate the missiles airframe and flight model is makes a large difference. Also SP AI is dumb so not sure if it represents well. Im guessing you are talking about an energy dogfight so thats why i pick the saab great manuverability good weapons systems and info systems and great kinetics
Saab
Victory is temporary, Floppa is eternal.
Not too happy on how AI Handles custom made aircraft... Placing my bet on Wasp...
@jamesPLANESii idk that might be a bit too risky I would play it safe
is this against ai lol
I'm gonna take a risk, and bet that the one that shoots the other plane down and doesn't crash will be the one that wins
@tsampoy ill give you my upvotes now
Okay bye
Voting for twin prop
I will delete my account if bush plane doesnt win
1) Wasp
2) Wasp
3) Hellkeska
4) Pigpen
5) SU-30
@zakthefire45 alrighty
i am putting my vote on Soldier from team fortress 2
@Astro12 ive been messing with the computers for a couple days and you have a lot of faith in pigpen
@Astro12 sounds good
@tucan It's just that the outcome of my vote depends on whether it hovers, or flies normally. If it hangs in place, it wins the hellkeska, and if it flies normally, I'm betting on the Harrier.
@Astro12 if need be I can just do it manually, we'll see. it is what it is for now
@tucan I understand that, but the problem is that they're not much competition for others here.
Hellkeska is a dogfighter's nightmare and won't dodge missiles at range.
Harrier - Slow compared to the others and has real problems with some maneuvers. But it has a plus - it has a very good thrust armament + the ability to hover. (Which the bot will not use.)
(By the way, the bot doesn't know how to translate the position of the engines and won't be able to control properly. He will hang in place and everything, which would make him a great target).
@Astro12 Yeah I had to resort to using the hellkeska and harrier because I didnt have much to go off of with low part fighters in 1.11
@Fellex oh?
