Objective
In this WWII themed challenge you will have to create a fictional or replica airplane that can take off from Yaeger Airport in Krakabloa, sink USS Tiny Two and it's two destroyer escorts, and finally land on Avalanche airport in Snowstone.
The targets are 350 degrees nothwest from Yaeger Airport
Targets seen from Yaeger airport at night
Targets seen up close during the day
Rules
-Plane must be a successor to this post
-No Afterburner jet (Allowed: Blasto J90) or turboprop engines
-No Missles, Miniguns, rocket pods (Rockets are allowed) or Countermeasure Launchers
-Max GS allowed is 950 kph below 2000m (if your plane goes supersonic it will be disqualified)
-Cannons can be used only if they meet the following criteria: Max caliber: 25mm (Diameter 0.05), Max muzzle velocity: 800m/s, Minimum fire delay: 0,3s
-XML modding:
Allowed, but for rockets and bombs weapon mass and drag should be realistic and proprtional to weapon size, and "Mass scale" for fuel carrying parts should be proportional. Editing guns is not allowed (Except for visual characteristics and rate of fire within a 30% margin). Editing the health of a part is not allowed
Evaluation criteria:
-Plausibility (How realistic and in WWII context your plane is): 10 points
-Performance (How well and realistically your plane flies): 10 points
-Detail (how deatiled and real looking the plane is): 10 points
-Creativity (How innovative and mechanically complex the plane is): 5 points
Prizes
1st: 15 upvotes
2nd 10 upvotes
3rd 5 upvotes
Deadline: May 30th
ATTENTION: IF YOU FOLLOWED A SPECIFIC STRATEGY TO SUCCEED, EXPLAIN IT IN THE PLANE DESCRIPTION.
Good Luck!

@lilgreen06 @IngenerMakogon2007 @TinyBearTim @TrislandianAlliance @rexzion @Trijets @LlamaIndustries @Ultra0 @Mustang51 @Darkhound Cannons are now allowed. Maximum caliber is 25mm (diameter 0.05), Max. Muzzle velocity is 800m/s and minimum fire delay is 0.3s
@Trijets For XML modding the guns: Visual editing is allowed, rate of fire only within a 30% margin. These are the only parameters you can modify.
@Mustang51 max GS is 950 Kph below 2000 meters.
@TheFantasticTyphoon @rexzion
Not here to run this challenge or anything, but I'm betting he WANTS this to be a difficult challenge. Cannons make sinking the two destroyers easy. You can kill all three ships with less than twenty cannon rounds. One pass, if you have a fast enough firing cannon. Not even rockets can do that. Torpedoes and bombs were the most common anti-ship weapons anyway, and nothing smaller than a JU-88 was ever fitted with a ship killing gun, to my knowledge.
Oh this is over
@could I use a modified cleaver or no
Results?
Nice! I may be able to whip something up. @Hpaccelli
Thank you, this will give me time to finish the interior, and everything else. @Hpaccelli
@LlamaIndustries @Strikefighter04 deadline extended to may 30th
Dang I wish I saw this earlier...
Hello? @Hpaccelli
Is it possible for me to get a 2 day extension to May 22nd? I’m almost done with my aircraft but I don’t think I will have enough time. @Hpaccelli
I hope I win
@Hpaccelli i'm sorry but unfortunately, my laptop which i've been using doesn't recognize simpleplanes downloaded files so it doesn't open up. sorry
I submitted my entry. It is a successor
@JediWolf
... "Mass scale" for fuel carrying parts should be proportional. ...
@Hpaccelli to be clear can we XML the fuel tank or is that not allowed? there's nothing saying that we can't edit that part
@RuvienRepublicCitizen Can you post it as a successor please? You just have to use the cockpit that's availabe in the challenge.
Here is my non-winning entry...
https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/FC6Pmd/AF-1-Mk-IA-Anti-Fleet
It will lose immediately. haha
@RuvienRepublicCitizen Scale down the guns... max diameter for cannons is 25mm
@Hpaccelli i see. thanks. but can we scale up the cannons to make it fit on the plane because it looks smaller than a machine gun... just asking.
@RuvienRepublicCitizen Aye but please check the first pinned comment
@Darkhound I'm using everything standard. keep in mind that i will play with your aircraft but it is already possible to know if it passes just by it's loadout and fuel consumption rate.
@Hpaccelli Question, are you going to use the built-in targeting systems in-game?
