@Samflugzeugpanzer you can build the Graf Zeppelin, or the H-class battleships. Wikipedia is a unreliable source but they are a good selection of wunderwaffe, so it is a good source for this challenge
Just like battleships I am a expert at make wunderwaffe’s be it fictional or blueprints plus I haven’t made a replica in a while
@HaunebuII yep
@snipey92 ![](image link)
@TASTEinc i think two months is good because not only can people make more builds but makes it so more people will be able to participate
@HaunebuII I don't know, but 2 months is a long time
Don't you think the deadline is a little short? Especially for people who want to make detailed crafts
Boy i wish i can join...., just have too many projects at the moment....
How might you add an image to a description?
plus jets were a bit harder to maintain than radials. event though the Me-262 was a famous fighter, the Fw-190 was still a favorite to aces in late WW2. Germany converted to jets out of pure desperation
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes by 1945 almost every major power had some jet fighters, for example the American P-80, the British Meteor, and German the Me-262, and the Japanese Nakajima Kikka but they were did not fully replace prop aircraft since, jet engines were pretty new and unreliable. Germany replace jets to cause chaos for the allies over Germany.
@TASTEinc besides that, they also used propulsion concepts that were considered advanced at the time, such as jet engines and rocket engines
@Dragoranos wunderwaffe means miracle weapons they believed the fighters would change the tide of war. which for them would have been a miracle.
@ReturnOfJeffChandler the design of the Horten 229 has a naturally smaller radar cross section which is also the same with the design of the B-2 which on radars has a radar cross section of a bumblebee, so really there has never been a truely stealth aircraft
@RepublicOfCursedPlanes
So some uninformed person edited it like that
Wikipedia is not always reliable
@Dragoranos Wikipedia lists these as examples of “Wunderwaffe” machines though
The planes you show are not really wunderwaffe
They are Emergency Fighters
I haven't done much of my own in the game in a year, but this has peaked my interest. If I join it'll be something real weird.
Disclaimer: the Ho-229 isn’t a stealth aircraft
@DerKommandant go for it
welp, V1 time. Might use cannons for propulsion because they sound a lot like pulsejets
