Welcome to the Southern War Dogfighting Challenge!

Deadline: Febuary 10th 2020

Hello everyone! This is my second challenge I've created, this time, We're going to do things just a tiny bit differently; This challenge is a two parter challenge, first being a build type challenge, and the second, being a dogfighting challenge! The dogfighting challenge will be hosted live on my own Twitch Channel !

This challenge is build around World War One era fighters, in this Universe it was known as the "Southern War" more details will eventually follow about said war.

The rules are rather simple:

Build rules:

It must be an original build of your own original design. If you want to use an aircraft you've designed previously, please modify it.

It must be a successor to this challenge, I would prefer not to go through a maze to find a participant.

Entries must be realistic in their performance, Maximum Speed is 130 MPH and must have a realistic flight performance.

Aircraft under 150 parts and over 700 parts will be disqualified (unless there is good enough reason)

Avoid using mods. XML is allowed and expected, except: drag, health and infinite fuel* Decals are an exception in mass and drag.

Each contestant may submit up to 3 aircraft

The description is mandatory and it will be specified: 1) Year of introduction, 2) Nation of origin 3) Brief history of plane, 4) Options and specifications

Each entry must have one of the roundels provided, the roundels are for each country as followed from left to right: La Pointe Du Norde, Weilkova, Iosia, Dieswen, Nordenvok, Andosnia, and Orusenda. Lack of these roundels will have some point deduction.

The only engine allowed in this challenge is the "Blade T1000" engine, anything else needs to be explained or may suffer from a heavty penalty.

Only wing guns are allowed, and the maximum allowed are two, three if one is in a gunner position of some sort.

The Aircraft must be from the WWI Era, as such, the latest the aircraft can have in its year of introduction is 1919, and the earliest; 1909.

    Some necessary text under operation to explain a weird thing I came across with the speed. Also, love the alternative history idea.

    @Quazal16 yes, decals and such like gauges are allowed to have zero mass.

    would you allow for zero mass and/or drag on small cosmetic stuff like gauge, lights, exhaust piping?
