Hello everyone! It is time for a second open VK Community challenge.
It will be multi season championship with points system(almost like in soccer). Every season will have two rounds. During first round I will run AI controlled dogfights with your fighters. If your plane wins it - it will get 3 points in to table, 1 point if result will be draw, 0 - if it lose. After each unique pare of fighters end their battles - first round will over and their manufacturers will have small amount of time to make some minor planes improvements. Then starts second round and all fighters will face each other again.
Prizes: 1-st place in table will get 10 upvotes and his plane will be placed in album. 2-nd place will get 6 upvotes and will be placed in album. 3-rd place will get 3 upvotes and will be placed in album. Also, there will be something like gentlemen's totalisator - after each fight winner must give to the loser 1 upvote on any craft, and loser must give 2 upvotes to the winner.
Now, what about planes - you can build any fighter designed by any manufacturer between 1900 and 1935 years(biplane, triplane, monoplane) or any steampunk, dieselpunk or other fictional biplanes. Single engine with 1000HP max and without RPM edits, no fuel mods and only 2 wing machineguns without any modification, no retractable chassis and engines on rotators =)
In the end of season we will run an vote for best replica and best looking fictional plane, winners will get 5 upvotes each and will be placed in album.
To qualify to the championship your plane must be successor to this one, but this is only example - you can't just paint it in "jelly" and upload. Your fighter must be original, I will give you link with example airplanes list(not full). You can build your own Sopwith ofcourse, but it must be your Sopwith. If your entry will match to all conditions - I'll approve it with upvote. Qulifications will end 14 March 2016 on 23:59 GMT+0. Additional information will be published after the end of qualification. Good luck and have fun to everyone!

@DeezDucks I am already made table with 27 competitors. And we have one plane that can be edited by so it will fit the rules. I'll do it if you join.
@DeezDucks I tested all planes that entered in challenge. There is lot of "not that maneuverable" ones =) And after championship there will be prize for best replica and best fictional plane.
@deusalgor I'll enter it if there's a replica part. The planes not that maneuverable.
