Hey everyone, I genuinely want to apologize for the lack of any clarity or updates, lately life has been hectic with a combination of work, moving, and all around lack of free time and internet access, I'm sorry I haven't posted results and I'm very sorry I haven't made it a priority to keep you all up to date, I'm hoping that I can finish this shortly and again, I'm very sorry about all this. Trust me, I don't like this situation anymore than you all do :(
@RamboJutter no, I haven't had internet access except my phone past 5 months or so, however good news is I'll be able to judge them this upcoming weekend (FINALLY!!!) as I'll be on vacation, so when I get to the place I'll download and judge the characteristics of the planes, sorry its taken so long, bad run of luck lately in life yall
It looks good, but I think it was put in the wrong challenge, this is jet powered and it's not a fighter, I can't stress enough it looks really good though,
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: 10 points :: 8/10 - Very fast, very stable, though the high rate of roll has me concerned, other than that, this is a pleasure to fly.
Realistic model and behavior: 10 points :: 7/10 - Very P-47esque, being said it's a realistic model that had shown the test of time irl and it shows in game with similar behaviors bar its roll rate, which I guess it adopts from its P-51 like wings, though, albiet a tad stronger. The aircraft's flaps do have minimal affect on landing and the brakes... oh the brakes...
Details, paint and other: 10 points :: 8/10 - The primary yellow plane feels like its trying to make itself a target, though I do very much like the metalic silver, checkerboarded engine area, and hearts, I'm going to forgive the insignias and hearts sticking outwards due to limitations without making each one dozens of parts.
Build quality: 10 points :: 8/10 - the interior is very nice, though it feels super cramped, ejecting doesn't exactly work, and the landing gear seems to dig into the wheels. Other than that, the overall build of the plane is phenominal.
Personal impression: 10 points :: 9/10 - right off the bat I was intrigued by the plane before downloading due to its design (and a small bias as the P-47 is a favorite of mine), a few minor gripes here and there knocked down a point but over all, its a fun aircraft.
Description: 10 points :: 10/10 - Yes. I love the history of one of the planes best pilots and background.
Handling, stability, agility: 10 points :: 7 Once you get her up to speed its good, however at low speeds it is very sluggish and chunky
Realistic model and behavior: 10 points ::. 8 Very could see an aircraft like this made in this time period
Details, paint and other: 10 points :: 9 Love the paint job just wish it wasn't looking like a brand new lego
Build quality: 10 points :: 7 Crudely made however flies great
Personal impression: 10 points :: 7 First impressions are I love the look of the aircraft, doesnt have the best design but flies pretty good, very clunky however
Description: 10 points :: 7 Moderate sized description and enjoyed the content of it
Handling, stability, agility: 10 points :: 6 Handles unlike the name would suggest,
Realistic model and behavior: 10 points ::. 5 Plane behaves unlike I expected, it noses down heavily
Details, paint and other: 10 points :: 3 All one color except for the roundel, boring
Build quality: 10 points :: 7 only because lowering of the bomb with 6 was really cool and I haven't seen something like that before, other than that the design doesnt show much care
Personal impression: 10 points :: 6 Pretty mid aircraft when it comes to looks, but the flight model backed up its looks.
Description: 10 points :: 8 Little amount of background however there was more care to this and the context it brought up as compared to others, really enjoyed it
Handling, stability, agility: 10 points :: 1/10 - This aircraft is extremely touchy, and not in a good way, any attempt at evasive manuevers will set her into a flat spin, leaving her an easy target for even the shoddiest of fighters.
Realistic model and behavior: 10 points :: 3/10 - great on paper, poor in execution, this is an aircraft that I feel could be a top teir plane if it had more time.
Details, paint and other: 10 points :: 5/10 - it has a nice naval blue and white, though I wish that a little more effort was put into the aircraft upper and lower paints as it bleeds into each other and fights.
Build quality: 10 points :: 6/10 - this has potential to be a flat 10 + if it had some more work done, examples I'd most notably point out is the rounding of the wings, foils, and a more detailed engine cowling.
Personal impression: 10 points :: 3/10 I really, REALLY had high hopes for this aircraft, I wanted so much from it because its design and everything but left very dissatisfied with most everything about her :/
Description: 10 points :: 9/10 - The multiple variants of the aircraft were a solid redeeming factor for this aircraft.
sorry this is so late, I had a buddy help me with the voting on some of these,
Handling, stability, agility: 10 points :: 9/10 one main issue is the nose point up and struggling to give level flight, otherwise, she's an amazing aircraft!
Realistic model and behavior: 10 points ::. 10/10 Looks and feels like a 1943's warbird should, she's a very realistic build which portrays a nice marriage of a speedy aircraft and something with power.
Details, paint and other: 10 points :: 6 Paint is bland, not enough markings (my buddys words) though I feel like I also agree with the 6/10 being the colors being a rather bright signal, knowing that it was deliberate does help ease some points, but in a wartime position it feels like a risk
Build quality: 10 points ::10/10 Build quality is amazing, love the rounded edges and no weird blocky angles. (again my buddys words) I feel like this aircrafts sleek design and amazing shape does make it feel like a build with a ton of love put into it.
Personal impression: 10 points :: 9.5 Flies like a dream, only complaint is no bombs (again my buddys words)
Description: 10 points :: 8 Felt pretty good (again my buddys words) I however would like to bump this up to a 10 because of the amount of detail into the aircraft's history and such!
@BeastHunter I'll be posting that soon, I'm on my laptop at a spot with internet at the moment so I'm kinda working on some tiebreaker stuff atm - It'll be up once everyone else is posted
@FeatherWing @RamboJutter @BeastHunter Strange, I very much remember judging all the aircraft, let me find my txt pad that had all of them I swear I posted all them sorry.
Hey everyone! The deadline has been reached and once I get to a spot where I have internet I'll be taking a look at everyone's entries! Absolutely wonderful job everyone and good luck!!!!
@T8flight yes! El Salvaco Del Mauro is a nation that would be closest to both Spain and Mexico, you can find its roundel on one of my old jets lemme find it
@BeastHunter essentially the plan for the game is to be war thunder esque with entirely fictional vehicles and * eventually* multiple full fleshed campaign modes, though that part will sadly be in the far future as I don't have much time for storyboarding and such
@ThomasRoderick so the tough turning and pitch were deliberate due to its sheer size as it's size wise almost on par with them, it's a really heavy fighter, and the engines with ZoD I should have done that, that was an oversight on my end as well as forgetting to fix the drag, I might fix all these issues shortly.

Thank you all for participating! the challenge is now closed and now I will be judging! gimmie a few days for everything!
+3Very Nice!
+3Yet still no Tournaments after almost 3 years.
+2@BeastHunter absolutely do not apologize, there is no impatience, it's way overdue and I should have tried harder to do it earlier.
+2@RamboJutter no, I haven't had internet access except my phone past 5 months or so, however good news is I'll be able to judge them this upcoming weekend (FINALLY!!!) as I'll be on vacation, so when I get to the place I'll download and judge the characteristics of the planes, sorry its taken so long, bad run of luck lately in life yall
+2@Ductwind589 Much like how Italy's was IRL; https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/attachments/macchi205-jpg.388866/
+2It looks good, but I think it was put in the wrong challenge, this is jet powered and it's not a fighter, I can't stress enough it looks really good though,
+2I wanna see an Egg B-2
+2This is so beautifully done!
+2"This is my favorite part"
spotlights
"Exciting!"
All jokes aside, this is really, REALLY well done!
+2Kinda looks like a Puma.
+2When's the next tour? I really enjoyed this one and I'd like to do another one again sooner rather than later.
+2Why would you ruin the Morgan like this?
+2@randomusername Thank you!
+2Oh boy, Consider me in this challenge!
+2Final Score: 61/60
+2@mikoyanster Thank you, the 300 part limit really pushed me to get the detailing done the way it is :D
+2@BeastHunter It definitely has a lot of potential, I'd love to see a remade version of her.

+1Alright yall, I finally have a day off tomorrow let's get this challenge finished, sorry about that everyone
+1@BeastHunter hopefully within the week, sorry, I've been out of state last week, and my laptop should be in by the time I return
+1Hey everyone! The deadline has been reached and once I get to a spot where I have internet I'll be taking a look at everyone's entries! Absolutely wonderful job everyone and good luck!!!!
+1@T8flight yes! El Salvaco Del Mauro is a nation that would be closest to both Spain and Mexico, you can find its roundel on one of my old jets lemme find it
+1Ooooo Very nice, can't wait to test her out :D
+1@BeastHunter noted for that, will do :)
+1What a wild design! I can't wait to fully test her out!
+1@BeastHunter Absolutely! I appreciate you asking for a deadline earlier rather than later.
+1Even though you've withdrawn from the challenges due to being unable to fulfill the criteria, I will say this is a VERY nicely built aircraft.
+1@BeastHunter that is the plan, hopefully
+1@BeastHunter essentially the plan for the game is to be war thunder esque with entirely fictional vehicles and * eventually* multiple full fleshed campaign modes, though that part will sadly be in the far future as I don't have much time for storyboarding and such
+1@LieutenantSOT Anything that can be used in dog fighting, so fighters, heavy fighters and interceptors are allowed,
+1@Aviator01 in a dive yes, that's not something I'm gonna penalize
+1@TheRedBaron2 it would have to be within reason
+1@TopDiplomatOfMonary absolutely! if that's what you'd want as its history by all means! but remember, it has to be fictional
+1@ThomasRoderick so the tough turning and pitch were deliberate due to its sheer size as it's size wise almost on par with them, it's a really heavy fighter, and the engines with ZoD I should have done that, that was an oversight on my end as well as forgetting to fix the drag, I might fix all these issues shortly.
+1@Tsuchiisan I can see that, never heard of them until recently on my Gavran but it's pretty wild how well these can work.
