@Stealth117 like i said, GT is based on mass production vehicles, the GT40 was a purpose built race car, cope all you want, its true, its not a true GT Racer
@SaabJ29 connected or corrected?
If it was corrected, i realized the issue like, SUPER late on this thing's building process. I had already done almost everything on it, minus the airfoils and stuff, and i was like "i dont have the energy to reajust the placement of these gears when i literally spent a month asking for help on the doors", cause i did need help that took forever lmao
As for connected, i don't know what you meant, i didn't see anything disconnected
After many months, it's a relief being able to finally post it!
Even though it is 100% based on the original Icarus, by all intents and purposes, it's a brand new aircraft. Spent many days and nights thinking about it, even when my lazyness and my addiction to other games hit hard. Overall building it was a great experience and hopefully it marks the quality of builds going further!
I have to apologize for the long description, i like writing a lot of lore for these aircraft, plus it has a lot of controls, quirks to handling and stuff like that, that i had to write there to make sure people that read it will be informed on how to fly it properly, specially the VR players. I would've made all sections collapsible, but i have no idea how, if anyone does, please share it on the comments, you'd be a life saver.
All names mentioned here were made from a name generator. All companies metioned were done so purely for some sense of realism, i don't know if any of those products are real
Some specs do not reflect specs in game for lore reasons
@G2 oh yeah i heard that. The dude that talked about having to pay a dollar for a new magazine in Battlefield.
And yeah, also heard about that insider trading thing, didn't know it was a crime, just thought it was shady as hell
@ChiChiWerx i rarely write that formally, i just did that to match how you wrote lol. Idk how to explain it, just gave me a very formal vibe. But you do you, that might just be your writing style, just a comment lol
@ChiChiWerx Nah, the Devastator used as anything other than a torpedo bomber irl would've been worse off, it's just that in game it has flight characteristics that probably don't match reality. It's simply a case of game balance slip ups over anything else.
Also, the Devastator cannot be matched with Warhawks, but it can be matched with P-36 Hawks, cause or their differences in Battle Rating.
P.s: why do you speak so formarly?
@ChiChiWerx Yeah, i know the Devastator was very outclassed when WW2 began, specially at Midway, but in the game, it is the first bomber in the US bomber line, at BR 1.0, the lowest you can go. It has decent flight performance, decent energy retention, good roll rate, average climb and turn rate, it's just super slow. It packs one .50cal in the front and a .50cal as the turret, guns thats shred biplanes like the He-51 or Nimrod, and can carry up to 12 100lb bombs, a couple 250lb or 500lb bombs (i don't recall right now) and a large 1000lb bomb or a torpedo (which you probably won't get to use), while also getting custom loadouts so you can mix and match. It can take out multiple strategic targets at once, destroy biplanes and RTB almost safe and sound. It's also super cheap, for purchase, crewing and repairing. It works really well as an impromptu fighter and low altitude bomber, or as CAS, if you take the 100lb bomb.
War Thunder may base stuff after documents, but after all, it's still a game and balance over realism is there to some extent, which means some slip ups happen, so don't expect most vehicles in game to reeaaaallly match their IRL counterparts.
Yooo, i was actually thinking about building one of these!
Personally, i prefer Silent Line, i don't like Last Raven floatier feel to the ACs, but i will beat it later
@XxRxX performance cost isn't calculated purely on parts, in fact, different parts have different performance cost values. This plane features many rotators, hinges and moving parts, parts that have HUGE performance costs compared to others. If it was purely fuselage parts, it would top out at 2000 or 2500
It ended up being a fairly simple cockpit design to save on part count, add to that my conflicting references (a picture i found online and my own Whirlwind Mk.1 in War Thunder) and my inexperience with replica cockpits. But i had fun making and flying this plane and i hope everyone likes it!
@AlivePan bro, i misread maximum as minimum, no need to be rude. Plus you did not write a maximum payload to be carried (i.e how many missles, bombs, rockets or other ordinance capable of being carried), hence why i asked.
As someone that used to make games in Scratch with block programming, i do agree this should be added ASAP. Would give a bunch of functionality to many builds, while lowering the FT barrier of entry
Def flying it tomorrow, you can count on it
+2@Stealth117 like i said, GT is based on mass production vehicles, the GT40 was a purpose built race car, cope all you want, its true, its not a true GT Racer
@Stealth117 youre 1 and a half years late man...
+1Yeah, the GT-40 is not a GT Car like a Porsche 911 is
T
+1Car with more parts than a battleship challenge

@SaabJ29 oh that, yeah, i agree, couldve been better
@SaabJ29 thanks, but eh, i like the landing gear personally. Best job i did with anything like that
@Dragoranos obrigado!

@ToeTips yes
Hinges, parts on the cockpit. Final version's even more insane
@Shugie highly unfortunate man, really sad
@ToeTips you got it pal!
+1How youre still silver is beyond me, man
Thanks a lot for the reply, @AndrewGarrison, i am rooting for all of you there at Jundroo HQ and for this to be resolved
+2@G2 oh yeah i heard that. The dude that talked about having to pay a dollar for a new magazine in Battlefield.

One of the best looking WW2 aircraft imo. Also an insanely powerful plane in War Thunder.
+1Really nicely made!
as a furry, i wanna see this to hunt my fellow furry enemies so T
Thanks for the transparency, it's really good to see. I don't mind waiting a lot for updates, they are always high quality!
+3@gnexes From Software made a series like that since 1997 bro
Go play Armored Core lmao

I remember when i was got one of these from an Erusian nerd... good times...
Nice build, super sexy!
The things you built yourself are pretty great, ngl
+1@Observer404 thank you!

+2Yup, that's that Flyout jet, alright
+2@AlivePan bro, i misread maximum as minimum, no need to be rude. Plus you did not write a maximum payload to be carried (i.e how many missles, bombs, rockets or other ordinance capable of being carried), hence why i asked.
Is there a max weight limit, or max payload allowed?
...no
+1Just no
Stop
Become older and come back
@Rocketguy2079 sometimes a challenge doesn't stick. Happens honestly. I for one have not played SP in a while
I uh, dont remember asking to be tagged. Its neat and cool looking, but yeah, i didnt ask to be tagged bro
I have now made a version of this tank featuring Turret Control and Tracks 2. Made to experiment with these mods, but you can play with it if you want
@Bryan5 unfortunate
+1@Dogedogeman1 well, when it's done, post it as unlisted and send me the link to it on Discord so i can take the pics and give them to ya
@Dogedogeman1 alright, ill send you a friend request
Edit: just did
@Dogedogeman1 for you to "@Mage2IsTriggered" here
@Dogedogeman1 ah alright. Ping me then
@Dogedogeman1 oh. I dont like sharing emails with people idk personally, sorry
Oh neat!
I do have a nation, created with @ZikkuHai a while back
Name: Anbruch Democratic Republic, or simply, Anbruch
War Flag. Idk if it'll work here. If it doesn't, ping me
Peace Flag. Also dunno if it will work
Lore. It's a Google Doc and pretty long
We do have vehicles, some are not explicitly part of it, but this is the list of all vehicles we have uploaded for Anbruch:
Mine: Gepard 1A3VR MBT
DT-160C Feuerfalke Attacker/Tactical Bomber
KA-80E Hahn Light Attacker
DT-170B Sabelzahntiger Air Superiority Fighter
KA-180A Sturmwurger Multirole Fighter
Zik's: Serval 1A2VR LAV
Gepard 2 MBT
Long list, i know lmao.
+2Ships may be coming soon, we are discussing that cause we are meant as a landlocked nation.
i can, yeah
what's your discord?
As someone that used to make games in Scratch with block programming, i do agree this should be added ASAP. Would give a bunch of functionality to many builds, while lowering the FT barrier of entry
+1MIG-29
+1in honor of the new MIG-29 for Germany in War Thunder
@CooperFilms001 No worries pal
+1Can you give the link to the car? I could try to fix it
