Continuing on the theme before!
Your task is to make a seaplane or flying boat from the period of 1914 to nowadays 2021!
This can be from a light frontline bomber from the early WWI, daring divebombers of late WWII, or large modern strategic bombers. Of course all these will have to be seaplanes.
Some rules
XML will be allowed as well as funky trees, as long as it is realistic. Decoration parts can be made with 0 mass and 0 drag.
Can be both fictional and non-fiction.
At least more than 50 parts, I'll sort something out with a lot of parts, rip laptop.
Point system
All point system will be based on your design period
Overall -/200
Realism: -/70
Does your design include to many bombs or just enough
Does your plane cruise at mach 1 when it is supposed to be, or does it fly to slow,
Does it have a 7 second turn radius? What about survivability? Does it soak up enough damage to return back to base, or is it a tank in the sky.
Looks -/40
Does it look nice, attractive and an elegant seaplane for the time period, maybe a new innovation or two!
Something that attracts the Air Force’s/Navy’s eyes!
Aggressive arnaments: -/20
Does it have too many bombs/rocket's/guided missiles for its period or is it just enough to decimate its target?
Defensive armament: -/20
Like Aggressive armaments, too much or just right?
General seaplane flying: -/30
Does it take off, land, and cruise (well you can’t differentiate how a conventional airplane flies from a seaplane/flyingboat). I will point you for the ease of these operations.
Description: -/10
This is how you’ll also convince the Air Force’s/Navy’s to buy and use your seaplane for operations. Create a lore to back why the Air Force’s/Navy’s needs this design! For non-fiction designs, go ahead and copy and paste a real-life description, as well as convince the Air Force/Navy to buy it.
Following rules: -/10

@FearlessAce theres no need to worry dude, if u need a few more days that's fine
@Simplememes Yes sorry, something happened back here so it may take awhile, really sorry. Actually might aswell do it now
Any updates on judging If avaliable?
@FearlessAce my plane Is ready
All I know is that airline builder is going big
@FearlessAce dw mine is pre new update
Hey @everyone, if you include new parts I might just get someone to do it until android gets the update. Sorry if it takes long.
Make sure to include which version you have and I may start if yours is still the old update.
It's in
@airlinerbuilder poooog
Also a challenge idea: german jet interceptor for 1945 to intercept bombers
i'm in
Btw, my plane is done, I'm just focusing on lore and it will be done tmrw
@FearlessAce awesome, I'll get an entry before then
@Simplememes Welcome back my friend, I also just got back , the due date is the Oct the 5th. I can extend if necessary.
I think the kyuketsuki needs a bombing equivalent, and I've been working on an aerial torpedo
I just got back to the platform,I'm a bit confused though as I want to join but it's only September the 22nd not October the 5th, unless I've missed something
Hope you enjoy mine
@Sakorsky Hi there, you can use it as you wish, keep it realistic is the one thing I ask!
Can I NOT use funky trees? I'm still trying to understand that part of the desc lmao
@FearlessAce. alrighty, guess Ill join
@Sakorsky Both, I think I stated it, I might go back and check though!
@ShiroNeko by plan, it must be started by scratch, and observation planes with bombs will be allowed!
