I have another aircraft to grade as well, so I may be a minute, but I'll get to it ASAP. It's midnight where I am rn, so I'll probably get to it in ~12 hours
Fascinating. The name and explosion scale is obvious, 0.8 = 250, meaning 1 explosion scale = 312.8 pounds on average, or 142 kilograms
.
Also, that makes no sense! Based on the laws of physics, all objects move the same speed falling unless there is drag involved. Assuming only gravity exists in a simulation, you could drop a million pound brick, a Boom 25, a missile, and a gun, and they should all hit the ground at the same time
.
-9.8 m/s^2 acceleration down is constant for everything
Note: I gave you 3 points for the requirements to even it out, as I believe this deserves more points, and to even it out because my grading scale is bad at making better looking planes get a better score lol
@GhostHTX Hey no worries! This is absolutely splendid dude!
Probably lol! It's all good though! You are in first!
.
Also, is the mistake that it says "XF2J-1" on the plane in the picture, but XF2J-2 on the title and release?
Alright! Time for the grade!
I'll put my reasonings and comments afterwards, but alas, here we are!
.
Speed: 9/10
Maneuver: 10/10
Realism: 13/15
Requirements: 23/30
Carrier: 15/15
Tactical: 10/10
Looks: 5/5
Opinion: 5/5 Total:90/100
Reasonings:
Alright, now for the speed, I will get to this more in a minute, but it is amazing! Surprisingly fast 'lil guy, and it suits great speed for the punch!
Maneuverability I had no discrepancies with, she flies great, and is very smooth and realistic, actually
Realistically, it looks real, and it flies real, but the idea of an inducted turbofan in the mid 40s is the only reason I deducted 2 points. Don't get me wrong, I love all of this and I adore it, but I have to grade fairly
Now the Requirements are your greatest deduction... here's why: Everything is up to par and amazing except, ironically, the speed. The maximum speed for a "pure jet" allowed is 550 knots (1019 kilometers/hour for you), and honestly this is borderline because I know that this is supposed to be a pure jet technically, as it is an inline inducted fan, but I also have to call this a propfan on par with the requirements, which brings it down to 500 knots, or 926 kmh. Anyways, I spent 5 minutes in a climb roughly 3 degrees above the horizon line, and I managed to accelerate until I reached 601 knots, where it peaked, which is roughly 1113 kmh, quite a bit above the limit. But, because it is below the speed of sound, I will still allow it, albeit with a deduction of points to make up for this, and it still places you far ahead in first anyways, and I doubt anyone will come as high
Carrier needs no explanation, she works beautifully and landings are great
Tactically, I love the pylons, and it can carry a great load and still land and fly fine
Looks... hot damn shes gorgeous
My Opinion is that I love it!! This is exactly what I was hoping people would submit, cool custom designs that feature this era, and you did it! That's a real challenge, I could have told you to make any aircraft from a large war, like say WW2, and you could pick a plane, but I gave you requirements and you still made a beautiful design that suits the needs. Congrats! You are in first place mate
And on that note, these grades will be subject to change and as of right now you are the vision for how I will grade other planes as they hopefully continue to come in! Have a good day, mate! And thanks again! (Totally didn't save the aircraft to mess around with it later)
@Stanmich Absolutely! In fact, I expect and prefer it to the in-game guns!
.
0.01 in XML for the barrel diameter is equal to 5 m, just a tip. So 0.04 is 20mm
You're right though lol
SP physics are weird, and enough have raised the question. I will not raise this number any higher though, as this is 1946 after all
@Brencool35 ooh, okay!! Sounds awesome!! Please do! I want to see her when she's all done!
.
Okay!! Cool, cool, that's what I figured. Nice!!
.
Glad I could help!! Yeah, it's weird 😂
I dunno
@ReinMcDeer woah! That was quick lol
About a month or two ago, I think? I don't remember. I'm working on my pilot license rn, and I originally wanted to be a commissioned officer/Lieutenant in the USAF, but I dropped that and figured I'd change my name here too lol. I'm probably going to change it back though because people say they like the old one more
@Javiatrix oh sick!!! Thanks for the info dude!
.
They really need to add variable parts to the engines. Like modifying the acceleration of the engine, exhaust fumes, and accurate changing of the MAXIMUM power of the engine 😂
Like afterburner and military power are completely different things. Milpow is normal thrust 0-100, and afterburner/reheat is like 120, or more modern, like 150%
The game is super simple trying to be complex and it doesnt work out well lol
@Yourlocalhuman also, just a note, it is called the Thunder Hawk Initiative, not Baja California lol. 400 million on that little peninsula would be dope tho XD
Now, because I liked it so much, I will still grade it as if it were in the challenge, so here ya go!
SCORING CHART
Speed 10/10
Maneuverability 8/10
Realism 3/15
Requirements 5/30
Carrier 0/15
Tactical Ability 0/10
Looks 2/5
My Opinion 5/5
Total 33/100
Notes: This is a really dope plane and I loved flying it. Sadly, it misses a lot of the marks for the requirements, however, I still love it an honor it. Ik glad you're back, Flewy! This airplane was fun 😂
It just sucks that I had to disqualify it
Yeah, just Pitch + Roll in the control, and you can also do things like (Pitch/[enter number]) + Roll, to change how much they do!
+1@Jabuticaba23 ooh another entry!? Wahoo!!
+1.
All good! I don't mind either way lol. I was just messing with you. This is amazing!
I have another aircraft to grade as well, so I may be a minute, but I'll get to it ASAP. It's midnight where I am rn, so I'll probably get to it in ~12 hours
+1This is so cool!! (I'll pretend it's American 😉)
.
After careful consideration...

Approved
+1OH. The leaderboard is just for the current standings
+1@SPAircraftOfficial you have quite a bit! Exactly a month as of today, I'll probably close a bit earlier though, not many people joined :(
+1@SPAircraftOfficial no XD
+1Where does it say that?
.
It closes May 1st
This is dope!! I'm going to make a CAS fictitious design from the Soviet Union I designed, if you're okay with that. It's from ~1952

@GhostHTX ofc!!
+1And ayyy I love the NATC! I put that on my XF15C-1, bit then realized that I also put NAVY on it... 😅
+1I will grade it here in a minute. I love this! This is legitimately what I was hoping for with this challenge 😂
+1I'm so happy. This is awesome
This is freaking amazing!!
Firstly, after careful consideration,
.
Approved
+1The altitude I will fly at to test it will be 20,000 feet
+1@Stanmich level flight!
+1@Stanmich Absolutely! In fact, I expect and prefer it to the in-game guns!

0.01 in XML for the barrel diameter is equal to 5 m, just a tip. So 0.04 is 20mm
@Stanmich absolutely! So long as you use XML to bring it's lbf to the thrust here!
+1You're right though lol
+1SP physics are weird, and enough have raised the question. I will not raise this number any higher though, as this is 1946 after all
@Jabuticaba23 nah all good mate! Redid the one for the pure jet, but I'm keeping the propjet one at the lower end. Hope this helps!
+1@PapaKernels
+1No no, no rush dude! You're fine lmao
@Brencool35 ooh, okay!! Sounds awesome!! Please do! I want to see her when she's all done!

I dunno
@PapaKernels I completely get being tired 😂
+1@PapaKernels 😂😂 all good bro
+1Also, have you seen your Discord? No worries if not lol
@PapaKernels notice something new?
+1@Jabuticaba23 ofc!
+1@Jabuticaba23 yeah!! That sounds amazing! Go for it!
+1This is why I'm happy I have like 20 unlisted posts for every build I make
+1.
o7 that looked like a beautiful plane, lad 😭
Forgot to upvote this beauty a while ago!! This is sick!
+1I saw one for sale on PlatinumFighters for $600,000. My god I wish I had $600,000 lmao
@ReinMcDeer *correction, it was 5 months ago
