Auto Credit Based on Pajamas720's Nobunaga - Stealth Design
So... im not sure if its an issue with drag, excess weight and size, or simpleplanes/ my computer being grouchy but... for some reason this plane is not going as fast as it should: it should be going roughly 50% faster at all altitudes. For reference, while my other jets can easily break mach 1, and some can even touch mach 2, this one cant break mach 1 even at high altitude cruise without full throttle, and even then it struggles to reach it. Its frankly driving me a bit crazy (even the dragon has better acceleration and its much heavier and bulky). Feel free to take it and do whatever with it, but really what i need most is advice and an explanation for whats happening, please xp.

i think i found one of the main culprits. apparently the two big honking air intakes arent feeding the engine enough air (??FOR WHYYY??). there were some other parts creating extra drag as well. slowly ill iron this out lol.
Not badd
Glad I could help @Pajamas720
@Userofplanes thanks, good to know. if its going that slow on another computer in a dive, then it seems the issue is in the design somewhere. ill have to do more testing later.
@Pajamas720 yes mph but I was going down at a 10 degree angle too.
@Userofplanes if thats miles per hour true air speed then yup. in fact on my end usually goes even slower. about 680 at 35000 feet.
Hmmm I got up to 45,000 ft and it only hit 800, is that what your talking about?
