@Vikram123 зрозумів
@Vikram123
ah ok.
@ZeroWithSlashedO
While I'm sure there are exceptions, to my knowledge CAS aircraft don't carry Fox-3 missiles. And LCA aircraft Equipped for CAS missions wouldn't carry Fox-3s. To me allowing Fox-3 missiles would mean this challenge leaning towards a multirole Fighter/Attack rather than CAS.
Good Luck with the challenge
@Vikram123
yes.
@ZeroWithSlashedO are you referring to FOX-3 Missiles not being allowed?
@Vikram123
why not?
if said CAS isn't equipped with a radar, then I can see why
but what if they do? wouldn't it give massive advantages that they can't just ignore?
@Vikram123 sweet! thank you! I'll get back into working on it.
@RepublicofValhalla allowed everything but NO FOX3 missiles which means long-range air-to-air missiles.
@frogbot4000 yes I would consider it as such, I have added to the list of irl examples. Good Luck
@Vikram123 є питання які саме ракети дозволені ?
Я один літак вже зробив це видуманий літак, я буду ше один робить копію PARAMOUNT AHRLAC MWARI
Would you consider the Emb 314 super Tucano as a CAS aircraft? It's a build that I'm already working on and I hope that I could enter this in to the competition
👍
@Vikram123 lmao I was joking you were right
@Yaamm ok
@Vikram123 did you know it was the K/A50 not F/A50
@Vikram123 jk nvm sorry
@Lauser always worth a shot.
@Yaamm download this post, save it. Design your aircraft and post it.
Completely cooked but worth a shot
I'm gonna join how to join?
@Vikram123 Yes please
@ZeroWithSlashedO That is fine as long as it is configured for the Light CAS role. Good Luck. F/A-50 is a good irl example.
ok, question
would a supersonic LCA (light combat aircraft, the likes of FA-50) still count? cause I have a concept with one of my friends
