The Jet Twin Prop is pretty cool, but its lifetime as a display plane in mod screenshots is long over. Concurrently, with the revision of Dogfight Tournament's rules, I was free to create a better craft as my "just for fun" entry into my own tournament. I have always had a sweet spot for the YF-23A in the ATF competition, where it got beaten by the YF-22, which would become the F-22.
Thus, I decided to create a competition-legal jet, loosely based off of the YF-23A. The L stands for lite because many details have been changed, such as the exhaust, into a more traditional nozzle, and the much smaller diamond wings. Also weird shapes everywhere, as part of my aesthetic.
It's details are a bit rough, it handles averagely, so I designed it with just basic fun in mind for the tournament, along with enough good far-away looks for mod screenshots. There are no health mods on this craft.
It is armed with 8 high-fire guns, 7 spread, and 1 precise. For those wondering how much the limit is for the gun "no-lag" policy, this plane has a good conservative lag margin for the tournament (no lag, but if it had 10 guns it would lag spike very slightly), and can thus be used as a example for what the max guns should look like before you should get worried about getting disqualified.
It has a very high win ratio to the legacy DT plane that was unmodded, but if you ever tried flying that you know it flies like a brick.

Sure@TurtlesThatFly
@232287168147825 Can I use the guns on this thing for my entry? I still don’t know how to xml guns to fire quickly and this thing also doesn’t make them lag.
@An2k Yeah, I'd like to outfit it with missiles but they aren't allowed for the tournament
Dang first i thought why no missiles...until i fired those guns..dodging them bullets must be unlikely on close range
