F-57 1A guardian

2,370 Bleepblopbloop  1.8 years ago

A jet I created a few days after the cockpit interior update was released and thought I had uploaded it then
Very heavily modified since the update and now it's fully capable of dogfighting most fighter jets

Anyways, the story (I figured I might as well make one)

In the year 2030, a rebel group took over the German government and turned the whole country into a dystopian society
The rebel government created a new "peacekeeper" force backed by the new technology agency "Prometheus Defense"
This new government has since realized their true power and has made attempts to take over the world with their technology
6 years later and the war has gone to a global scale as NATO has collapsed and resistance groups gather what remaining technology they can find to fight against Prometheus
This jet is the primary air combat vehicle of Prometheus

It has been tested against an f-18 and an f-22 and was fully capable of winning

    @Planebuilder2123 I actually had plans to install a radar onto the 1B variant once I make it. I'm also going to attempt to make the 1B capable of fighting the Banshee I just uploaded

    @Bleepblopbloop it doesn't even have a visible radar, which means it probably relies on a awacs 24/7

    @Bleepblopbloop probably

    @Planebuilder2123 realistically not only would this not see an f-22 coming, but the f-22 would have detected it from far beyond the guardian's combat range

    "it has been tested against a f-18 and f-22 and fully capable of winning" in a dogfight maybe, bvr combat this wouldn't see the f-22 comeing and this looks like it has the radar cross section of a f-15 (which is pretty high), still though great build

    @Perez that is because of the reverse engine found towards the top of the vertical stabilizer. Since it is facing backwards it will say that no matter how many inlets are on it. The only way to really fix it is to remove the engine (which isn't a required engine unless you want to drive backwards)
