Like DJ Khalid would say, another one!
Fast twin engine interceptor with thrust vectoring, miniguns, missiles and unlimited fuel!
New features:
Much higher P/W ratio to chase down those pesky hornets :P
Slight aesthetic tweaking and new arrangement of vertical stabilisers to improve visibility in chase mode.
For better manoeuvrability- Thrust vectoring engines
Bigger control surfaces
VTOL engine
For better combat- 4 Guardian missiles
2 Interceptor missiles
I'm currently working on a cockpit and some more detailing!

    Your plane lost to fighter 2 and tied with fighter 1, this plane looks great!

    @LukePlanewalker As for the pitch down i made the front elevators flat bottom to minimize but I guess the centre of mass is a bit too forward, I found it was easier to control in this config :)

    @LukePlanewalker yup, specifically the Su35 and Su47. It does have XML mods for the extra thrust, stronger wings and thrust vectoring :D

    Tried flying it, flies great!
    Turns on a dime, but it seems to pitch down.
    Also, it smells of XML modified engines, does it not?

    I like the delta wing!
    Is it just me, or does it look from the side SLIGHTLY based on a Sukhoi?

    Thanks @AeroEngineering for the thrust vectoring engine!
