UEF T1 Cyclone
So after much frustration, I was able to make something of an aircraft...somewhat..that resembles the UEF's tier 1 interceptor aircraft from supreme commander. It was absolutely impossible for someone of my skill level to make a 1 to 1 replica. The cockpit on the original plane was a descending trapezoidal pyramid. There's no way to make one of those as a smooth shape in SP. So this plane is "inspired by" the Cyclone. Another frustration comes down to the fact that interceptors from all 4 Supcom factions are supposed to be roughly equivalent to each other in performance. Yeah, no..the Aeon mockup I did prior to this could obliterate this plane. sigh That being said this plane is fun to fly, and is actually a good looking craft I think. No AGs to worry about. As well, just like the Aeon plane, there is no landing gear or VTOL. I'm just not good enough yet to have that installed. I don't think the AI will fly this plane. I tested it and they seem capable, but the computer won't choose this plane due to the number of wings/control surfaces. Anyway, I hope you like it at least a little since it gave me so much grief and disappointment. I will take requests on any other aircraft in SupCom. I may try the Seraphim T1 next, Lord help me.
For reference of the plane I tried to replicate:

I know but i am not able to play it because the disc somehow broke
@Jcgunzilla Both games still have active communities. I still play quite frequently.
The nostalgia I miss playing supcom 1 and 2
@AtlasAviation Many thanks fellow Supcom player.
It flies very well btw
I love Supreme Commander, it’s one of my favorite games. I also built the UEF T3 Ambassador.
