NF-37 Deimos
I haven't touched this account in a year, but here goes.
Cue testosterone-inducing rock music
The NF-37 Deimos
The NF-37 Deimos is a naval fighter developed by W.A.S.P Industries, and uses technologies of the community, as well as its own, to engage in combat efficiently. Here are some of its features:
- Functional radar (developed by ASBE
- Working Heads-Up Display (HUD)
- (Mostly) Digital gauges
- Pylon payload ejection system (labeled P1-P7)
All payloads can be dropped in case of emergency
- Fully dedicated COMBAT mode
All weapons are tied to AG7, meaning you don't have to worry about "accidentally" hitting something with a Fox One
- Carrier accessible
Wings can be packed for better storage
- Helmet-following gun
AG6 allows you to enable the Gun-Rotating feature. This follows the pilot's helmet on a Y-axis to give you the edge in a dogfight.
- Armored inner wing section
Extra wing section gives you a second chance against bullets and protects the fuel tanks.
- Fully working ejection system
A useful feature for less experienced pilots
- XML modded missiles
Special missiles (known to be called Spearheads) are on board, which allow much less room for error for your foes
- Variable airbrakes
Airbrakes controlled by the VTOL slider to allow for better control of speed, as well as control over intensity of braking. Good for the next point on this list.
- In-air refueling capabilities
Deployable drogue for in-air refueling. Hope you practiced!
Other notable features
- Easy to fly
Also comes with SHO (Super High Output) wings, which can bleed speed instantly in combat
- Low part count
Sits at just 316 parts
- High top speed (1600mph+ fully loaded)
Can reach close to 2000mph when lightened up, meaning it can beat an F-15 Eagle in speed under certain conditions.
- Good range
1,510 gallons + 2 gal/second efficiency gives you ~25 minutes of flight time. It's alright, it gets the job done I guess.
- High maneuverability
A must-have if death by Su-35 isn't what you want on your hedge stone.
Activation group list:

2. Arresting hook

4. Ejection system

I probably didn't list EVERYTHING on here, and there's probably something broken, but oh well. I'm not getting paid for this, I just felt like posting it, so you know.
I hope you enjoy it though. Will probably be posting a guide for how to make the HUD soon as well, so ppl can get more creative with their creations too.
