Auto Credit Based on Squirrel's SISC-2?
I slightly lowered the front landing gear so it rested at an upward angle when on the ground. I also added some modded guns and my special superfighter mode. To use the superfighter mode slide the VTOL bar completely up and press Act. 1. I included a stupid suggestion name too.

@Squirrel Okay, thanks for not taking it the wrong way.
@SteadfastContracting No it didn't. I only read things as condescending if the person has something against me.
@Squirrel Okay, sorry if I sounded condescending. Totally not meant how it sounded. I just reread it and saw. Sorry.
@SteadfastContracting Bit occupied at the moment again, but I think I'll try adding a bit of dead weight to the nose cone
@Squirrel Hmm...
I'm sure you're capable of fixing this, my fix would be to just add fuel to the fuselage pieces in front of the COM.
@SteadfastContracting Okay, doing some final touch ups on the plane. It loses control after deploying missiles... think it's the fact when fired, they move the CoM backwards.
@Squirrel Okay. I may release a forum post explaining what's been happening. I've been going to football games and practices and after the Saturday night practice, Sunday morning I threw up. Twice.
Anyways... Yeah ,I agree, the gun idea is better suited for a later build. Just give me a link or something so I can find it.
@SteadfastContracting okay. Hope things get better soon. I think I'll drop the gun idea for now... instead we could use it for a later build. Anyway, I'll upload it privately when I'm next on.
@Squirrel Okay, sorry again for not responding. I had a bad day yesterday and today is going to be crazy as well.
@SteadfastContracting It already has 4 guns though. I feel adding another set would be a tad overkill.
@Squirrel How about we make the bridge destroying guns, pop-outs with a different Act. than the superfighter mode so it's like attack mode.
I mean, by definition an interceptor is something that sacrifices manoeuvrability for speed and altitude in order to intercept bombers, recognisance planes, etc, aka; slow moving threats. Begs the question of whether it would be too far to allow it to intercept a convoy of truck/tanks/boats. That said, it does clash a little with the attack role of an aircraft.
@SteadfastContracting Depends if we want to intercept ground targets too
@Squirrel Okay, sorry for not replying. I was at football practice. I would say no on the bridge destroying guns because it is an interceptor. They don't do a lot of ground attack.
@SteadfastContracting Going to call it a night. Pretty much done at this point. Got rid of a load of fuel because it wasn't needed and it increased the handling quality quite a lot in doing so. Modded a few bits you put in place and got rid of the rotators at the front as they were causing a few problems. Also added the cockpit, mounted some hardpoints and missiles too and tweaked the existing wing structure to give it a more level flight path (it pitches up a little, but that means it can fly higher). Did wonder about modding a set of the existing guns so they could shoot bridges down? But other than that I'm pretty much done!
@SteadfastContracting Encountered a glitch. Every time I mirror, the part count increases for some reason. It's got to the point where it's impossible to fly without loads of lag.
@Squirrel Lol, Hope it all works out easily enough.
@SteadfastContracting okay, I'll work on it once I'm done fixing my mum's netbook. Has a load of stuff that needs uninstalling and the fact this thing is powered my a dead hamster on a wheel doesn't play to my advantage!!
I just right clicked to copy the wing parts you had made so they were the same. Whatever the main wings you put in are, that's what the tips are. I can mod wings like that though. Just FYI.
@Squirrel
Looks good. For the extra wing bits, what did you use?
