@mikoyanster the vid was lagged out for me. I saw that she went down but I couldn’t see where she was hit.
@Stellarlabs take a look the video https://youtu.be/QJIIxHBLJiM
.98? I tested it and it went around 1-2 times.... not gonna complain

1.5 LapsCongrats!!!
@mikoyanster https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/4WAenT/Vought-A-7
Here is a ground attacker very fast and good fly able befor you start flying press 1 to open the wings
Do you have your own autopilot system or will we need to make one?
@mikoyanster hey, when we test, do we fly higher than 800ft or lower?
@mikoyanster you have to test to figure it out, it can break this challenge dude, it doesn't get hit in laps, it never gets hit! At all!!!
@mikoyanster yes but is this type of design a problem? I mean am I allowed to design a larger version of that plane?
@pilotred233 The winner is the plane that resist more laps...
@mikoyanster is this allowed?( https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/lzOu20/X-super-light-attacker-prototype) forgot weapons, I will fit them in the future :/
@mikoyanster also, I created an aircraft that is super effective in this challenge, but it's not very armoured, just that I have a really sneaky trick up my sleeve );)
@mikoyanster hey, what do you qualify as an attack aircraft in this challenge?
@TheBoeingEngineer 3 spotlights
What are the prizes?
Cool
This is interesting, I might enter depending on how successful my amor is lol
Ok
@CreativeDean must be original and successor of this post
Can it be a successor of another plane?
@Stellarlabs ive seen a plane survive a missile hit
the missile was shot off and was damaged tho
