WWII just broke out, and you have to develop a bomber.

Prizes

1st place
10 updoots
2nd place 5 updoots
3rd place 2 updoots
Open Until: End of April

Requirements

Must be a successor
Must be an original build. It must be designed by you.

6. Must use a prop engine (no jets no turboprop)
7. Bombs must be shielded from enemy fire (In a bomb bay).

For each numbered rule that you don't follow you'll lose 10 points.
I won't try to search for anything that's not a successor. To make your plane a successor you have to download this cockpit and build your plane. Once you're done, upload it on www.simpleplanes.com NOT ON THE STEAM WORKSHOP. I'll get a notification that a successor has been uploaded. You do not have to ping me.
If I find out that you have submitted a build that's not yours, you will be disqualified and will not be able to submit any planes to this challenge

Points

Looks-50 points
Manoeuverability-30 points
Realism-70 points
Passing the dogfight-100 points
Total- 250 points

Dogfight

Your plane will be put in a dogfight and will fly in a straight line with wing leveling enabled. A secret plane will be your opponent. You will not be able to fire back. Seconds=points max. points 100 The dogfight will end when your plane becomes critically damaged due to gunfire of the enemy

Bonus points

The person with the most creative design will get +10 points

If you like this challenge, please upvote it!
Don't name your plane "WW2 challenge" or "KI-4242 WW2 Bomber challenge" it's kinda annoying and less people will download it.

Bona Fortuna!

If you disagree with the points I have given you, don't hesitate to tell me

    @Levihugs Yeah the fighter from the decision match for some reason shot out all your engines and your plane crashed. Your plane is the best looking of all, but the winner just had more performance

    @jdab5 nah don't bother changing it you'll probably lose some points but if your plane is good it shouldn't be much of a problem

    Does the aircraft have to be a monoplane or can it be a biplane?
