Modern Bomber Challenge!
My first challenge in a while, in this one we will have you compete to make the best modern bomber aircraft! No, I won’t count ground attack/strike aircraft as bombers. But yes I will count the rust bucket antique of scrap metal that they call the Tupolev TU-160. (I’m holding in vomit rn) But most of us here already know that you get extra points if you cater to my interest in a very different but somewhat similar behaving but beautiful aircraft.

UPDATES:
I allow 1950s and 1960s bombers
You can make a fictional bomber within the time allowed, or futuristic
@Christiant2 you can ignore the tinfoil hat on the Tu160 in the thumbnail
whats the specific deadline?
@GuardianAerospace okay ill tag u in unlisted build
@SiBangsatYa sure
@GuardianAerospace aight so, wouldnt you mind preview my fictional bomber design meet the criteria?
@Dragoranos oh my bad cuh dats on me for real
@GuardianAerospace Mirage IV. Mirage FOUR. Not mirage III, V or any other.
@Valiant2017 yes, as long as it follows the criteria of rules
@Dragoranos ah yes, the mirage with its nimble profile and rep. as a fighter makes a great strategic bomber you’re right!
@Dragoranos as i remember it is strategic bomber.
@GuardianAerospace Will something similar to the Il-28, Il-54 or Yak-25B meet the requirements?
@GuardianAerospace Dont wanna argue, but is a Mirage IV an attacker or fighter bomber? Lets be honest, you could just say "Strategic bombers only" instead of hard locking a minimum MTOW.
@Dragoranos it’s meant to be specifically bombers on the larger side. I don’t count small little strike aircraft that people say are bombers. For example, the su24 fencer is not a bomber but a strike aircraft but half the ppl here will say it is a support bomber which it really isnt. It can be a fighter bomber but not a real bomber. If you really care, keep in mind the weight includes the payload. And fuel. Loaded weight not empty. I really am not in the mood to start an argument so sorry if this came out a little weird Lol.
The second rule is bullshit. Not all bombers are strategical. Better fix that
And a little advice. I can recommend a website airwar.ru .
@SiBangsatYa no su34 as it is considered an attack/strike aircraft because of its characteristics and payload. But yes to bombers with aa and mg
I have question, do light bomber like su34 allowed? Or bomber with aa missiles and mg?
Interesting
Dawg, i was gona ignore the hat on the tu-160, but now u said 😭
@Eagleman101SP only if you write “dunce” on the side please
@GuardianAerospace 11k special it is
Soon ill make a tu-22m (ik you hate tupolev)
@Eagleman101SP sorry but strike/attack aircraft won’t count for the challenge as they aren’t really considered modern bombers.
@GuardianAerospace my next build will be an Su-34 fullback
both 11k special and a submission for this challenge
does that count?
