Okay then... LOOKS: Not too bad but not exactly a flying artwork. 5/10 HANDLING: I understand why the ailerons are as big as they are, but especially on high physics they make the aircraft almost suicidally difficult to fly, couple that with very little pitch authority and... 6/20
SURVIVABILITY: The aforementioned handling, coupled with a lack of C/Meas, would probably earn this aircraft a nickname like "Lawn Dart". At least its offensive A-A and A-S weapons are powerful enough to hit back. 4/10
FUNCTIONALITY: Nothing much to write home about, other than the aircraft working and being (barely) flyable. 3/10
WEAPONS DELIVERY No issues. 45/50.
TOTAL: 63/100
Simplistic, but capable of the job at hand. A little less aileron responsiveness and a little more onus on surviving would be nice too, though.
A little rough looking around the edges, and the tail logo could do with being thinner so it doesn't jut out as much but for a newcomer that is a nice bit of work. Even had a go at custom gear. Nicely done.
@diegoavion84 good. It happens on the ground and on touchdowm, as I say. However if you pitch down in flight you can see the wing gear bogies moving, which as nice a feature as it is, probably happens to be the cause of the issue...
Okay, I've found a major problem. The underwing landing gear cause issues, though I can only vouch for low physics right now. It causes the airframe to jitter on the ground, but on landing...
@SimpleAircrafts not a problem. My devices aren't exactly high-power either, so my advice would be just to try and add little things here and there. Not a bad design regardless.
@thatguy407 It's far from my interest as such, I'm here for aircraft. However, @Lumian300 has done a better job of building this than most do of any of their aircraft.
And this is the first of its kind I've seen, this debunking the SimpleWeeaboos argument.
Kindly, see yourself out. Hope the door doesn't hit you either :).
I will agree with some other designers that covering the entire wing including control surfaces doesn't always look nice.
However the rest of the airframe is astoundingly nice. Keep working like this and you'll climb the ratings in no time!

@Alien 2 Ways:
1- Download, bin everything except the cockpit and build using that cockpit. When you're done, re-upload and it will be a successor.
2- Make a comment in the following format with the same layout: [Text] (URL). Remove the space between the two and it will create a link.
Welcomes ;)
QUICK UPDATE
@SledDriver The logo, you mean? I know, I knocked it together in about 2 minutes on mobile. Besides, the Logo hopefully won't deter anyone.
Then next challenge I'm planning after this one, on the other hand, WILL have a decent looking logo.
@BACconcordepilot So long as it flies, and can achieve the criteria I don't think there will be an issue. As for looks...
The original Mobile Home...

Congratulations to @squideater56, as they won this challenge due to a lack of further participants. Rewards to be made now.
Pretty nifty!
Ha ha ha. But seriously, damn nice twin naval mount. Or is it something Star-Warsy?
@MaximusTheMinimus What you said. Damn fine show ^_^
@DerekSP lol I managed to win. And I can build far better now ^.^
What Ghost said, abso-bloody-lutely lovely job mate!
Hahaha I love the scribbling out on the infographic too 😂
Egypt called, they want you to stop letting the Israelis use these bad boys to vaporise their airfields :p sweet build
+1@UmbyTheZombeonYT no, I'd said I seconded your opinion :)
@diegoavion84 Hmmmm.... My phone must be playing screwy again.
Still, an outstanding build and I love the aesthetic, looks like a Soviet-Era bomber like the Bison.

Boom.
That thing is smart as all hell. Beauty...
Thrust Hectoring. Noice!
@VOVAK presumably. It ain't a direct control surface...
What do we count as control surfaces? Are hinge-based surfaces allowed or not?
I feel the need...
The need for SPEED.
+1@BACconcordepilot 😂😂😂😂 welcome to 1980s Brit Neo-Ska
How about the Can-Can?
Or, Bad Manners' Version
@Tully2001 Hahahahaha sounds perfect
@TomTheBuilder perfect summary
@iPilot it would appear so...
@Mechanical lol perfect comeback
hehehe... this is what happens when you manage to propagate flame wars elsewhere on the site
@iPilot lol, tell me about it.
@SimpleAircrafts not a problem. My devices aren't exactly high-power either, so my advice would be just to try and add little things here and there. Not a bad design regardless.
@Potato21 my stance exactly, though I didpartly reignite it :/
@grizzlitn Np. Tested it out and if you crash it into the deck of the Beast just right on low physics... it goes beserk and hits 50k+ mph haha
@thatguy407 Oh and on that note, the highest rated posts this week are not anime posts from what I can find.
In fact, no anime found anywhere so far. Again, let the door show you the way out, thank you very much.

A P/W Ratio of 15?!?! At you trying to rip a hole in space itself?
...and might I add its a damnsight better than my first designs at the pre-100 Mark.

@UmbyTheZombeonYT seconded. There's nothing here that strictly goes against guidelines, or it'd have been removed already.
@ShiptyCo it is a neat design indeed. Miles better than anything I could do at that point too!
@ShiptyCo yes, I know...
Neat! Looks like a He-162 Salamander!
Not bad for a simple replica, try to make them more detailed if your device has the capacity for it...
It has the square Windows like the first-generation Comets. Hope the passengers like high altitude air ;) seriously sweet build though.
@belugasub Hm... still resembles a kamikaze to me for some reason :p
@poopatron71 excellent stoof! Expect the design blueprints to be delivered in an hour. If SOE don't intercept them...
What is it, a kamikaze?
@PlaneBuild0512 Not a problem.
