@CALVIN232 k wait

I need a custom missile that can one shot the uss beast that isn't to complex that a noob like me can easily use without messing up basically dumb prove

@Pilotmario The Pummeler was bought from you for use in those nations, doesn't Necessarily mean you were around in the RP when they were using them.

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Story-wise, the Pummeler saw use in nations that existed for a very long time, such as Sals and Japan.

This means that Paternia has been in the RP from the very beginning.

@Pilotmario Base design for this came in 2022. Paternia was only around in the RP for a few years lol

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation But the reason why a first-gen Pummeler can out-run and out-maneuver this thing while carrying more bombs is because it's got a 110", 3 chord, 4-bladed warbird prop instead of a 80", 1.4 chord, 6-bladed scimitar prop, and the fact that the empty weight of this thing is the same as the loaded weight of a Pummeler.

The difference between this thing and a first-generation Pummeler is that RP-wise, the first-generation Pummeler will set you back P$4,050, which is US$22,500, or the price of a Toyota Camry. It was also designed in 1955.

This thing is ten times more expensive, and designed in 2090.

@Pilotmario same

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation The second-generation Pummeler (E, F, G) has a T2000-3/2, which is a 3,000HP engine, and the third-generation Pummeler (H, I, & J) has a T2000-2, which is a 4,000HP engine.

Of course, they're XML modded.

@Pilotmario lol k but engines are taking as much fuel as a T-3000 Prop when operating with the T-2000. :)

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation To see how bad the Pummeler's maneuverability was long ago, I did a test flight in an A-1D and A-1F (the aircraft you are referring to, I assume).

The first and second generation Pummeler is a far more maneuverable aircraft compared to this. The 250mph takeoff speed is completely unnecessary. The Pummeler's takeoff speed for earlier variants, with a full combat load, is less than 175mph. Even with a "super-heavy" load with 500lb bombs on every pylon (that's 7,500lbs of bombs, or about as much as a WWII-era B-17 Flying Fortress), the Foxtrot Pummeler will ease off the runway at 180mph.

My main suggestions to improving the type is as follows:

Move all control surfaces to the center of the wing. The elevators in the wings function more as spoilers than elevators.

Ensure all control surfaces of overlapping wing components are the same when relevant.

Get a bigger, wider-blade propeller. Cessna is for acceleration, Scimitar is for speed, and Warbird is a middle ground.

Get this thing modded aircraft engines. The one's found on a Pummeler are good, but I suggest the use of the Bulwark's T3000 engine, since the only Pummelers you have are war trophies.

Dispose of the jet engines completely. At the speeds this is supposed to operate, the T-series engine will do just as well but is considerably more fuel efficient.

Decrease or eliminate leading edge sweep. Although slower, straight wings generate more lift per area than swept wings, enhancing maneuverability. The advantage of swept wings is reduced aerodynamic drag, allowing for faster airplanes. As an attack plane, speed is less important than maneuverability, although having some speed is of course necessary.

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation More efficient propeller and much lighter airframe.

@Pilotmario How?! Ill make another version of this, better.

At least they are reasonably fast once the bombs have been dropped.

They're faster than this thing. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

@Pilotmario Some Pummelers are really bad at maneuvrability

It's slow and not very maneuverable.

The basic definition of an easy target. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

@Pilotmario why aren't you convinced that this isn't good? Because it's doesn't have an arsenal of unnecessary weapons? Why are you discounting this? It's equally as well as a bulwark.

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I see.

I seriously suggest them to stop building this and start building something better.

Like a Pummeler or a Bulwark.

@Pilotmario HDD, AAE.

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Who manufactures this?

@Pilotmario Not for export.

I see.

But aside from Awwam, who uses these things? @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation

@Pilotmario forgot to say that its from the total lifetime of the design, from MK1 to now the MK4 :3

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Already?

I mean, we've built 70,000 Pummelers, but that's over 150 years!

And if you include rebuilt aircraft and foreign production, the number would go up to 110,000 machines.

@Pilotmario tis just a prop and 2 engines with lots of bombs. Design is well known, we have 60k of these.

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Then you will lose plenty of money, since this thing is far more complicated than a Pummeler.
