Handling, stability, agility: 10/10 - incredibly stable, handles like a charm, and not very agile like a true bomber fasion.
Realistic model and behavior: 10/10 - very responsive and docile, this aircraft has great bomber characteristics.
Details, paint and other: 10/10 - practically flawless detailing, the Anti-flash white and roundels make this a very desirable nuclear bomber look along with the paneling and other markings the Blackburn Basilisk is very cleanly designed.
Build quality: 11/10 - no flaws seen here, the aircraft is well designed and functions amazingly. An extra point has been given for a nicely designed cockpit I accidentally overlooked.
Personal impression: 10/10 - the Blackburn Basilisk caught my attention instantly, and with the design, flight characteristic, and history it fully deserves the 10/10.
Description: 10/10 - Very nicely fleshed out in terms of the history, it kinda makes me sad that it had the fate it did in the alternate history.
Handling, stability, agility: 3/10 - this plane is incredibly tough to keep level outside of autopilot. The AC500 Patriot rolls FAR too well for its own good.
Realistic model and behavior: 2/10 - Very unresponsive upon take-off, the aircraft has issues with any kind of pitch and roll.
Details, paint and other: 2/10 - it's very monochromatic and difficult to even see the cockpit.
Build quality: 4/10 - overall I feel the aircraft had potential, however, it needs more effort put into it.
Personal impression: 3/10 - this plane was just far too unstable for me to enjoy it... sorry.
Description: 5/10 - Not really much to go on here.
Handling, stability, agility: 4/10 - the Marshall-Lewis B-95 Phoenix Bomber has a really high pitch rate, the speed also exceeds the maximum speed for the challenge which severly knocks the score rating down a bit.
Realistic model and behavior: 4/10 - As mentioned before the pitch and speed are incredibly high, paired with the issue of a natural tendancy to pitch downwards makes this plane rather unsuitable for flight.
Details, paint and other: 6/10 - while I do very much enjoy the XB-70 esque white and black, paired with some roundels, I feel more could have been done, and the orange of the inlets seem to be an oversight.
Build quality: 6/10 - It has potential, however the aircraft often explodes without warning, deploying the missiles also causes the aircraft to explode. outside the fact the aircraft is a big Micheal Bay fan, I feel this planes physical appearance makes up a little for these issues.
Personal impression: 5/10 - the Marshall-Lewis B-95 Phoenix seems to be fun to fly aside from the aformentioned issues. however, those issues REALLY hider my enjoyment of the aircraft.
Description: 10/10 - Very nicely fleshed out in terms of the history and other data!
Handling, stability, agility: 9.5/10 - my absolute only problem with the Sodsworth XV-800 is that it rolls a heap, although it's not enough to take a full point away.
Realistic model and behavior: 10/10 - the Sodsworth XV-800 flies very nice and its docile behavior makes it very admirable.
Details, paint and other: 10/10 - very nicely built, well fleshed, and great detailing. I love it.
Build quality: 10/10 - no flaws seen here, the aircraft is well designed and functions amazingly.
Personal impression: 10/10 - the Sodsworth XV-800 immediately caught my attention with it's detail and design, and kept me here with its performance.
Description: 8/10 - there's a valid history to the aircraft, although I feel a little more could have been put into it.
Handling, stability, agility: 4/10 - it's very back heavy and unstable, rolling causis a lot of tremors in the aircraft and stalling issues.
Realistic model and behavior: 3/10 - the B-49 actually has trouble flying in general, and flight behavior is very unruly.
Details, paint and other: 2/10 - very bare green with no detailing.
Build quality: 6/10 - it's not bad for just using block parts. however...
Personal impression: 4/10 - the aircraft just seemed... subpar due to the issues with said aircraft, I feel if it was an attack aircraft with upgrades it could have done much better.
Description: 5/10 - there's a little bit of history, however that same history pegs it as pre cold war, which was the earliest for the challenge, which docks a point.
Handling, stability, agility: 8/10 - handles very nicely, however it rolls too well for a large bomber. it's modest speed actually works well with its pitch though.
Realistic model and behavior: 6/10 - one main issue is the wings tend to try and bend, on top of that, the plane seems a little too blocky to be something that can be reasonably used.
Details, paint and other: 2/10 - it seems a little barren when it comes to detail.
Build quality: 4/10 - very clunky, the bomb bay is partially there, but nothing to guard the bombs, the aircraft seems to be high in drag.
Personal impression: 7/10 - aside from all the issues this plane has, it was actually fun to fly, the bomb dispersial was a neat trick, however I had to ditch the plane as it made it to its target but not back due to fuel issues.
Description: 2/10 - no real history of the aircraft, just basic what it does.
Handling, stability, agility: 5/10 - Rolls far too quickly and the afterburner speed well exceeds the speed limit for the challenge, which really docks a number off the aircraft.
Realistic model and behavior: 7/10 - Aside from the rolling issue, the Black owl actually handles nicely, especially with the rarely seen vector nozzles.
Details, paint and other: 3/10 - There's not much in the market in terms of design, it's solid black with no distinctive markings.
Build quality: 5/10 - Overall, the aircraft is a solid design, however, it is visibly clunky with a lot of items protruding from the aircraft, I think with a bit more work this thing could easily be a solid 8 at the least.
Personal impression: 9/10 - I was very pleased with this aircraft in terms of ingenuity with its multi-role ability and VTOL capabilities!
Description: 4/10 - there isn't much to go off of with the data, however there is still enough there to give some story to the aircraft.
Handling, stability, agility: 9/10 - I feel it rolls just a little too well? although not too much to dock a full point, however the other half comes from the issue that trim causes a roll.
Realistic model and behavior: 9.5/10 - outside of the trim/roll issue? this aircraft flies very docile and is a overall grand aircraft to fly.
Details, paint and other: 10/10 - The decals, markings, lights, and paneling all blend very nicely with the aircraft with nothing too distracting. fantastic work!
Build quality: 10/10 - I normally say function over form, the ABX-10 nails both aspects near perfectly.
Personal impression: 10/10 - everything about this aircraft is amazing, I don't know what else to say about it aside it's a masterpiece in my eyes.
Description: 10/10 - very nicely detailed and fleshed out, feels like something that actually could happen.
@Shootingstar07 what do you mean by that?
Edit: oh, no these are backstock aircraft I've had for a bit, I'm still judging, work has had me in a little more this week, but I promise everything will be done by Wednesday!
@donald347 the air brakes are meant for the torpedo bombing only, and for the flaps, it's odd because it works for me just fine, but when I download it does do what you say... incredibly odd...
@Shootingstar07 don't worry, I got a notification about it anyways :)
@Texasfam04 no problem, if you need another week extension I can judge yours a whenever you're done :)
@JohnnyBoythePilot Thank you! I was really happy how this one came out, it was just initially a silly little project I was tinkering with, but I was really happy how it came out.
@JohnnyBoythePilot alrighty, well that's no problem, I was going to have to extend it to the first anyways as my job has been picking up and I've been only able to thoroughly judge like one bomber :/
@Texasfam04 Yeah, that's one thing that really bothers me about this game, and that's why I don't often run external tanks. but I am glad you like the jet :D
@MarshallLewisAerospace yes, nations may be fictional, your best bet to make it a sucessor is remove the cockpit, make the entire aircraft a sub-assembly, download this one, remove all but the cockpit and put it on your pre-existing plane.
@ThomasRoderick vaguely based off of it, it's mainly an old design of mine I remastered yet never uploaded here, initially it was more inspired by the Do-217 line.
@jamesPLANESii yes, I also see what you were asking now, It was getting to the point it was starting to lag out my computer while making this plane so I had to cut corners sadly.

@SelectAKey Huh, I thought I had gotten rid of all of them, whoops :(
@CoolPeach yeah the engine area is just absolutely insane to do, I kinda just half-wit did it because i was getting frustrated with them myself lol.
@Shootingstar07 that actually looks pretty good ngl
@Shootingstar07 it was significantly more difficult that I anticipated.
Zero intensifies

Thank you all for participating! the challenge is now closed and now I will be judging! gimmie a few days for everything!
+3@Shootingstar07 absolutely!
+1@Shootingstar07 don't worry, I got a notification about it anyways :)
@Texasfam04 no problem, if you need another week extension I can judge yours a whenever you're done :)
@Heihachi No problem! It's a very nice aircraft!
+1@Texasfam04 I would love to test this out in the Deltarrow once I get home :D
Also, holy cow, I can't believe this thing is featured! O.O
Thank you everyone!!!
@JohnnyBoythePilot Thank you! I was really happy how this one came out, it was just initially a silly little project I was tinkering with, but I was really happy how it came out.
+1@Texasfam04 Thank you!
Very Nice!
@AndrewGarrison can we please get another race soon?
+1Absolutely fantastic work! One of my all time favorite biplanes and you nailed it perfectly!
+1@JohnnyBoythePilot alrighty, well that's no problem, I was going to have to extend it to the first anyways as my job has been picking up and I've been only able to thoroughly judge like one bomber :/
Ooooh, I feel a couple upcoming birds of mine could benefit from these :D I'm definitely going to credit you!
@Texasfam04 Absolutely!
@JohnnyBoythePilot Eventually they're all going into a War Thunder/Ace Combat-esque game. So it's just building the world for everyone really.
+1@Texasfam04 thanks :D I'm actually really happy on how stable and reliable this aircraft is, I really wasn't expecting it to be so good initially.
and @Treadmill103 Thank you!
@Texasfam04 Yeah, that's one thing that really bothers me about this game, and that's why I don't often run external tanks. but I am glad you like the jet :D
It's been a while since I've seen you, nice aircraft friend :)
@GhostHTX no problem:) take your time.
+1Very Nice!
+3@DestinyAviation I kinda borrowed the canopy from the HP Victor actually lol, but this plane was inspired by the V bombers.
@Tiseth Thank you! I can try and make a mobile friendly version, but I'm not sure how well that will work out.
so, when you say no mods, does that mean no XML modding of the aircraft too?
Fantastic work!
@MarshallLewisAerospace yes, nations may be fictional, your best bet to make it a sucessor is remove the cockpit, make the entire aircraft a sub-assembly, download this one, remove all but the cockpit and put it on your pre-existing plane.
Looks nice, but like, how is it featured so early on?
+4@Texasfam04 thanks! I greatly appreciate that :)
@Texasfam04 also, my plan is to have at least 2 a week.
@Texasfam04 its only that way because I'm unable to get the guns to fire via Throttle :( but that's also why I developed it into a lift body design.
@ThomasRoderick Essentially yes, I plan on having a full history of this AU soon.
+1@ThomasRoderick that's where I got the basic design inspiration, but I had to freehand sketch the blueprints and I got this :)
+1@ThomasRoderick vaguely based off of it, it's mainly an old design of mine I remastered yet never uploaded here, initially it was more inspired by the Do-217 line.
+1@ThomasRoderick It is a single engine build into the fusalage.
+1@PlanesOfOld either or works, that is completely up to you to decide, as long as it has bombs and a bomb bay :)
@jamesPLANESii yes, I also see what you were asking now, It was getting to the point it was starting to lag out my computer while making this plane so I had to cut corners sadly.
