@Typhlosion130 P-58F has 129 drag points
@Alienbeef0421
1: as far as I can tell I can't really reduce drag all that much. optimization of the size of the tail and nose cone parts. but otherwise I can't.
2: wing placement?
3: I've run out of things to improve on it.
@Typhlosion130
1. Drag reduction
2. Wing replacement (your creations glitch out on my 512mb potato phone)
3. IMPROVEMENTS!!!!
@Typhlosion130 I'll modify this.
@Alienbeef0421 if I shink them any more drag goes up. because then the engine hubs start to poke out and the cockpit as well.
I meant this plane. Just a tad bit of shrinking the fuselages and you're good to go
@Typhlosion130 ok then, seems pretty fast to me, I saw 154 a couple of times, and this is really stable. without reducing drag, thats about as good as it will get.
@Gestour I'm using the smallest cock pit there is. and its inside the fuel tanks there. also I've actaully tested smaller designs. with 3-5 engines as a test bed.... they do not do as good as this one.
@Typhlosion130 use the smaller cockpit! it causes less drag. also I would use less engines, after a certain point they just don't provide any extra speed, and just add weight. 3 or 4 max.
@Gestour I took every thing you said into account (and mixed what I was currently experimenting with, with it) and I still can only hit 153mph when in a decline.
