Killer Stealth (VTOL)

50.4k Stingray  6.1 years ago
Auto Credit Based on TheChosenOne's Gunship Challenge #1-Stealth [CLOSED]

For @TheChosenOne Gunship Challenge #1- Stealth. Folks, I had to rewind the time clock back to SP V1.1 for suitable weapons. Current guns and missiles ignore bridges. This Olde Stealth build will eliminate bridges, via propelled custom 500 lb bombs. STOL/VTOL: Full throttle, raise gear, Ag=1 slow forward, VTOL = full Down fast speed. Guns=guns, they destroy ships not bridges. To attack a bridge: slow to 500 mph, line up the bridge like you were driving over it, use aim reticle on bridge center and , Ag = 2 Release propelled bombs.

    I’ve done that 3 years ago. Handling was lousy, time for a re-design for Klingon birds. @JediWolf

    @Stingray I meant as a weapon that could be mounted on a gunship.

    @SledDriver Disagree. With the pilot Manning the manueverable warhead the Tomahawk strikes 100% of the time.

    @Stingray I think a BombCannon would be more accurate. Rockets would do the job as well, but would need multiple hits.

    @SledDriver All too true. The only challenge was to Destroy a Bridge via "Stealth Gunship". Aircraft and pilot survivability were not included in the challenge. I have a more effective build for bridge destruction: an unposted Tomahawk cruise missile. No "guns" on a missile, however.

    @Stingray Hmm, I don't understand why anyone would do that, but to each his own. I noticed that after releasing the bombs, the plane pitches up and goes into an uncontrollable vertical spin around its nose.

    Thanks @SledDriver Note, the guns are new, not derived from anything you have posted (for show and flair only), and 99% of the build is based upon old V1.2 SP version building blocks including the VTOL. FYi.

    Agree, he can build anything! It would be interesting to see he could come up with weapons that do not include standard or modified Jundroo bombs.@TheChosenOne

    Thanks for testing. I can hit a bridge about 90% of the time; sometimes the aim reticle is aimed to low or off-center. If you fly down the bridge centerline from about 1,00 feet at 500 mph, you'll usually nail the brigde with two propelled 500 lb Jundroo bombs. @TheChosenOne

    Looks wicked! Definitely in the running so far! The orange cockpit looks evil. A cool kind of evil.
