Because I am a Mustard normie like probably most other people here, once I saw the video about ekranoplans I knew very well what to do. However, because the focus of the video was the KM ekranoplan, I decided to do this one which may be lesser known, so I wouldn't conflict with other people possibly uploading the same thing.
Flying this thing is a bit more tricky than a normal aircraft; you need to spawn in water (or in air but that sucks). It takes it some time to take off, and once it does you need to keep an eye on your altitude so that you don't exceed 50 meters (160ft) above ground level. If you do, you will "leave the ground effect" and the flight is going to be much less pleasant (you can still fly, but slow and unstable).
As you can probably see just from the thumbnails, I had to make a lot of compromises to make sure that it will be fun to fly this thing. The real Lun-class would only fly 5 meters above the water surface, and would take insane amount of time to turn. I made it a bit more bearable with 50 meter ceiling and much better roll/pitch/yaw control.
Also, the real Lun-class had 6 missiles, this one has 42. Another major difference is the cannons. The real Lun had two pairs of 20mm anti-aircraft machine guns on the tail and the front, this one has one pair of 100mm cannons on the front. I originally wanted to have the anti-air guns, but they would only have a single axis of movement (trim is taken by... well... trim) so they'd be pretty much useless anyway. This way you can take out a ship even if you run out of missiles, as long as you're precise and persistent enough.
Ok, that's about it, can't think of anything else that needs mentioning, so enjoy.

Ah yes, mustard. That one dude who makes movie-like videos in just months xD
@realSavageMan you should make one of these :D
thank you
Thank god been waiting for someone to make this I was kind of hoping I was going to find the Caspian Sea monster but it’s a little brother will do
bro you watch mustard?
I wonder how i wonder why when i try this things its fly in 25.000 ft 😂😂😂
It’s really cool. My only suggestion is to smack some Countermeasues on...
:D
@OnlyrushB agree to disagree
@FireFast212 its litterally a plane with tumors
@OnlyrushB it looks pretty powerful and sleek, not stupid
did you watch the video by real engineering
@OnlyrushB lol
The russians didnt realise how stupid this thing looked
Somehow I missed when you posted this, very cool. It's certainly a sight to behold.
Np, you details are amazing @DerekSP
@ACEPILOT109 thanks for the spotlight man. There's no telling which one's better, as they are different aircraft ;)
I was under the impression users have dried up thanks to SR2, however someone posted the Millennium falcon and got 140+ In relatively quick fashion so there are users still out there. Maybe they’re just spending less time on site, I.e. looking at what’s featured only. Or maybe as this post isn’t a Mig/p-57(get it) - it just wont get the attention deserved which it is sadly lacking. Maybe I am just being Scrooge. Bah humbug! @TheFantasticTyphoon
Yours is so cool! (I think it’s better than mine)
I never even saw this
Funny, just watch a documentary on this craft.
Where are all the upvotes?
Oh and I scroll past most of the in game photo planes haha, I want something Original like a single colour background or similar, but that’s just me and what fits-ships
Cool, don’t worry bout the upvotes, like, you will, and I do when I make something top quality then get like nothing, it happens 🤷🏽♂️
2 tips maybe¿
Post when America and Europe wake up, I’m Aussie and if I post in the middle of the day (muricas night) I won’t get that many upvotes, I used to try to post at night (when America wakes(at least according to a CoC player I know)) and then more 💵
Nice birb
