    I want to join this challenge
    .
    But then i saw that i have to make a Bomber that could carry 1.8 (metric) tons of payload with a plane that can only be the weight of a fully loaded P-47, its a pretty tall order, another idea would be an AD-1 Skyraider, but i can't make that either, Because The Weight Limit is Sabotaging It

    @Dogedogebread13 I was going to make a bomber, but 6,800 kg? Thats literally 2 tons lighter than an F-16.

    Yes, although this is meant for light bombers, stuff like fighters with bombs. Also as I have said I want this challenge to be challenging.

    @Dogedogebread13 in my opinion their should be a weight limit on the airport as during 1950 bomber aircraft development didn't had any limitations they wanted the best .
