@SledDriver first a question, Did you get the idea based on our little conversation? Anyways dude it’s awesome never thought of a variable geometry flying wing. With the rudder too. As usual it’s over powered for simple planes. You some how took the plane part out too more like just “simple flying shapes that shoot and squish” also 4 more days!
@Quazal16 All in all the airplane works, looks amazing especially for a challenge aircraft, only issues i have is the instability. The climb rate, MER, and acceleration are left to be desired, after all it's meant to be an interceptor. But that's just me being difficult, it was a joy to fly and felt like a N1K1 just without the floats. try making a pontoon version otherwise good design and very unique. i love the tiny details and colors as well. Astounding job!
@SledDriver sadly yes, would’ve proven interesting in the war if it worked. Maybe it could’ve been improved and the mechanism lighter? Maybe use the air and locking mechanisms to make a piston for the telescopic wing. Idk it was a nice idea.
@SledDriver ohhhhh that makes much more sense... and the implementations from what i understood were more of trying to have the best of both worlds kinda thing.. Russia made their telescopic wing to basically have high lift to take off and be maneuverable and then retract to gain extra speed and be faster kinda mixing a biplane and monoplane together. It's just a neat idea i thought was interesting and really cool.. im still waiting on some one to make a Naboo royal starship as smooth as your aircraft.. most have jagged edges even the aircraft im working on does too.
@SledDriver Thank you very much! and if you would like make a jet version. by the way how in the world did the variable wing turning thing work? it squishes and extends and turns.. that could work irl actually being a telescopic wing! the Russians did it once in ww2. just confused on how simple planes did something like that with scripting never seen anything like that. granted im not the best i can barely create landing gear that doesn't blow up my own craft. Again im really sorry for the amount of flack and such you get especially since you create such beautiful craft and kinda inspire me to make something like that which is what im working on just doing it with fuselages. It's really sad to see an amazing creator get crap just because his craft doesn't look like anyone else or real in that matter and uses "cheats" yet 90% of people use cheats as well especially because they are built into the game.
@SledDriver im sorry this was not an i dare you to make a normal plane i genuinely love how you make your aircraft the weight and such has to do with being a DB601M engine at 600kg which is roughly 1300lb. i did not mean it in such way for you to make a normal aircraft i thought you would have made something with a pusher configuration and smooth surfaces that blend together maybe a biplane pusher interceptor or something, i understand the looks thing though.. i see you as perfectly capable in having the ability to make a "normal" aircraft i personally just wanted to see your take on having guidelines and the challenge isnt meant to really compete against eachother its more about pushing people to make something out of the ordinary. even though im probably sure i contradict myself somewhere but ill update the rules i never thought about the decal thing. and i can test both on mobile and pc.. use the mouse aim its very very similar to mobile. the challenge isnt meant to take much time either its relatively easy to do with the guidelines, its kinda meant to be realistic in a standpoint yet let people create what they want. Again im sorry i didn't mean it as a "you cant make real planes" kind of thing i had no idea people pestered you about it so much. Its just really hard to find anyone creative anymore who makes their own designs everyone is just copying real life aircraft rather than making their own in a sandbox, yea you can copy a picture but anyone can do that. i gave guide lines so specific to rule out anyone who wants to do something ridiculous without effort ive seen other challenges and people putting so little thought and effort. just maxing out the wings and adding 30 engines or so then calling it a day. i used the carrier thing to limit the wing in a way and the engine to limit the well engines.
@SledDriver we talked a while back around 1.2 years lol i invited you to the challenge specifically because personally i love how you make your aircraft look and i wanna see if you can do the same thing with following certain guidelines kinda like your ju87ish build
In ww2 it kinda means the same thing lol. The M stood for model like M4 Sherman model 4 and A was for Advancement M4A1 instead of regular M4, the m4A1s advancement was no curved armor which allowed it to angle more and slap more armor to the front. Also more room for the crew and faster production time @Dylanword17
Funny thing, the M6A1 is actually a World War Two heavy tank with a 37mm M6 cannon and a 76mm M1 cannon and two .30 cals hull mounted.. it also has 100mm frontal armor.
@Megaplanesinc also nose guns are very accurate but are very tough to use try with diffeeent placements.. and a little info on the rudder design the only reason a rudder should be placed like that is for extera lift in the back and for a ruddevator (rudder and elevator in the same thing)
Otherwise it’s just a part that adds more drag when doing a turn and burn..
Nice entry but next time try to make it more curved and flow. Sharp edges cause drag and push air off since the nose has more drag on the top it will push the plane down making it harder to turn and burn. Also having wheels tilted like that with this game doesn’t work well on landing. In real life it does work but for some reason this game has issues with it so try to have as little of that as possible..
but otherwise is a nice design so keep up the great work.
@EternalDarkness
Can you give me one of your attackers and I'll use it's base frame and make a trainer specifically for that attacker? Just a thought for fun. Doesn't have to be included in the competition.
@EternalDarkness ok salutes I'll get to work soon. Can you look at my other aircrafts and leave some comments on them? I need to learn how to improve my designs.
@EternalDarkness does it have to be a replica. I was thinking of making a trainer attack aircraft like the IL-2 1943 trainer. I'm not that great at making super detailed areoplanes but I can try. I just don't like the detailing system to the game.
@ThomasRoderick ripped them straight off a hunter f-1 haha also I got inspiration of the looks kinda from a plane called the p61 black widow, I just basically flipped it upsidown, to me it looked alien like, I wanted something like that so I tried.
@ThomasRoderick oh just put the force to 40% I did it like that because wing mounted missiles are harder to get a direct hit with and also look at the F6F with tiny Tim rockets, they have a detach force on it and made so you can launch one at a time
@ThomasRoderick Wasn't my plane I modded it for some one else, Trying to make it historically accurate on the German side of WW2 also increasing speed. But thank you for noticing I will write those down

@Quazal16 nope not at all
@Mostly thank you sir! It’s quite simple but challenging most reason why it’s challenging is because of the fuel thing.
@Jonathanperin the engine is not meant to be scaled at all. It says it in the rules and specifications
@Jonathanperin only for aesthetics
@SledDriver 60 years isn’t very long I wonder where we will be at in another 60. In terms of technology.
@Jonathanperin no you can not it’s meant to be a model of the DB601M engine with 900hp and a weight of 600kg
@SledDriver sadly yes, would’ve proven interesting in the war if it worked. Maybe it could’ve been improved and the mechanism lighter? Maybe use the air and locking mechanisms to make a piston for the telescopic wing. Idk it was a nice idea.
@SledDriver Actually the NIAI RK, LIG-7. those work too though. pretty cool to be honest.

@SledDriver along with you!
@Mostly id love to see your entry into this

Also provides better looks 😏.

From my knowledge it had -20° and +70° But that’s a rough estimate.
Cool design though reminds me of a mig and a f-1000
Can’t turn fast enough to handle the speed. Any slow and maneuverable airplane with a smart pilot can easily make the plane over shoot and crash.
@EternalDarkness
Can you give me one of your attackers and I'll use it's base frame and make a trainer specifically for that attacker? Just a thought for fun. Doesn't have to be included in the competition.
@EternalDarkness ohhhh forgot uhm I can easily change that! Sorry
I could have done better but i just wanted to go into a challange and have some fun. id love to see the winner
@EternalDarkness oh of course that's the color pallet for PLH I found it's hard to spot when a plane is above you along with blow in the night
@EternalDarkness ok salutes I'll get to work soon. Can you look at my other aircrafts and leave some comments on them? I need to learn how to improve my designs.
@EternalDarkness base it off of the IL-2 I mean
@EternalDarkness does it have to be a replica. I was thinking of making a trainer attack aircraft like the IL-2 1943 trainer. I'm not that great at making super detailed areoplanes but I can try. I just don't like the detailing system to the game.
F-82 mustang lol I'm doing the same to a lot of my fighters soo prepare for more looking like that! @ThomasRoderick
@ACMECo1940 I like to think so. try the other versions they seem to do a lot better
@Mostly any cons you found that will allow me to fix for better planes in the future?
@hopotumon but shouldnt the plane be more wobbly when flying?
@hopotumon why would you use a Rudevator/Vtail and not a normal rudder and elevator?
@Mostly how did you like it buddy?
Thank you!
@ThomasRoderick impact sensitive bombs you mean?
@ThomasRoderick
Sbd3 dive bomber yea!
@ThomasRoderick For ya Buddy. i just slapped wings on a thing and called it a plane.
@ThomasRoderick ripped them straight off a hunter f-1 haha also I got inspiration of the looks kinda from a plane called the p61 black widow, I just basically flipped it upsidown, to me it looked alien like, I wanted something like that so I tried.
@ThomasRoderick it's a mix between heavy fighter and attacker hence strike fighter and yea go ahead and use the cannons
@ThomasRoderick oh just put the force to 40% I did it like that because wing mounted missiles are harder to get a direct hit with and also look at the F6F with tiny Tim rockets, they have a detach force on it and made so you can launch one at a time
Decent job, just the wings need to be scaled down
Should I change the Color scheme to something else? And if I should what would it be? Please give me some suggestions.
@ThomasRoderick Wasn't my plane I modded it for some one else, Trying to make it historically accurate on the German side of WW2 also increasing speed. But thank you for noticing I will write those down
Should I change the Color scheme to something else? And if I should what would it be? Please give me some suggestions.
Woah!!!! This is amazing! Never seen an actual replica like this before it's awesome
@Alienbeef0421 reminds me of a yak15-17 as well as looks amazing and flys well and I feel ya
@Mostly thanks btw the instability is intended. You can use it to your advantage. And fuel. Just replace 2 of the missiles with tanks lol
