@TheOwlAce Yeah, actually, I do though I do not use it as frequently as E-mail. I'll send it to you on Steam. :)
@DragonAerotech OMG HII. YO DO YOU HAVE DISCORD?
@TheOwlAce I'm assuming so, otherwise I wouldn't have upvoted it when I did? Sorry for the delay, I haven't been on SPs much in the past year.
You say Horten Ho-425-C2, I see a Mini Manned Arsenal Bird.
Seriously cool build, though!
@DragonAerotech were you able to fly this?
@TheOwlAce Argh! Wish I could try it!! >.<
@DragonAerotech With this varient you can do a flat spin and recover without losing altitude, feels like its mean to be in the sky crawlers movie XvX
@DragonAerotech Yeah, i've had some of those experiences trying to outrun an enemy fighter in maywar. I did a flat spin out of nowhere and I did a full 180º turn into a suicide head-on lol.
@TheOwlAce THAT is a great new feature for this design. If I'm thinking of the right flying wing, I believe the old one was capable of doing the same by selectively turning off the outboard engine (in terms of the spin) and firing up the other while applying full rudder. You'd still lose about 5,000 ft of altitude IF you're sharp enough to get it on the first try though. For the most part you don't enter a flat spin in her anyway unless you forget what you're flying and try to fly her like a conventional aircraft by attempting to use more than one control surface at a go.
@Mostly Yeah, the Torpedo-slinging version of this was a lot of fun but you had to give yourself a good and long approach with regard to the speed, altitude and aim. She's so fast that you have to be careful not to become a crazy Kamikaze pilot without meaning to! :D
@TheOwlAce Cool!
@Mostly Found out that you can do a controlled flat spin and recover in this thing.
The 425 torpedo variant was one of my favorite bombers so I can relate to this one.
