A nice smooth flyer, I do enjoy the light attack concept for aircraft, although I have to say the tail drag configuration is weird for a “modern” aircraft, especially for carriers where all fixed wing aircraft today use a tricycle stance to have a catapult connection in the front for launches, even if not needed, but either way I still like it. Also kinda weird having the Gatling guns on the wings sticking out like that, usually it’s in the body of the aircraft or on Gun pods, but it’s fine the way you have it.
So say you make a cargo plane like the C-2 Greyhound, that thing won’t be pulling high G maneuvers at like 500 mph, it’s just not realistic@DerpyCookie17
An interesting concept with the opening bomb bay for the cleavers, and the unique design of it is also really cool, although the wings folding with the brakes is kinda weird, and if AG1 is on while landing and trying to slow down, the wings accidentally folding is hard to recover from, and the 0-100 taxiing speed is also difficult to use at first. But overall a cool and interesting design
It’s a pretty, fast, and maneuverable little plane, kinda reminds me of the Vought F4U Corsair, although you did forget a tail hook, so landing is slightly difficult lol, but you can easily fix it
Since I haven’t devised a point system yet and won’t reveal points until the end, I’ll give pros and cons: Pros-Really cool and unique design, landed the carrier first try, I like the inverted wings, I can see it being somewhat realistic. Cons- the gap between the wing and fuselage is a little unsightly, and taxiing is slightly difficult when you throttle up and instantly goes 20 mph lol. But I like the details, also a nice backstory to how and why it was designed would be nice
So everyone fought all the entries, plus my 2 aircraft, for you though, you beat: EP-14, Sh-21, Type-5, TA-4, and Cortina TR530. You were shot down by: Starjet, Monsoon, Nexus, Me-119, and Buster. So a 5 to 5 score@Trijets
Also to anyone who’s curious, The Me-119 and SchArCo Buster both got 8/10 on dogfighting, the Me-119 lost to the Type-5 Super Zero and the Cortina TR530, while the SchArCo Buster lost to the Hawker Monsoon and Cortina TR530
I’m almost halfway done with testing, and it’s taking longer than expected lol, but so far I’ve gotten some interesting results, and some expected ones as well. Hopefully will be done soon.
At my time it’s still the 25th, but it’s also by the end of the day here for the submissions, then results will be posted at the end of my tests@TheMitsuboshiBoi
I like the basics of it, the cockpit that far back is very interesting, and the fact that it’s detailed is even better. Also not often you get an Italian design too
Because I want to see the best of the best, and that people are just getting this as well, I am extending it another week to March 26th, so @FearlessAce, @Trijets, you guys have an opportunity to get something in, anyone who wants to improve or add another aircraft to the mix has the ability to do so.
That is the inspiration, except I left out the inverted gull wings, and also the cannon under the fuselage is based off the Il-20 where it swivels down for level flying strafing@Pufferfish0754
Having a dogfight between your creation and mine is quite fun, especially since mine is British and yours is German, and speed and maneuverability is relatively close, only thing is how fast your guns are compared to mine
I didn’t add it to the description because I didn’t test it before hand but it also works with torpedoes, just got to angle the X dimension by 10 degrees and add it on the pylon

+1The USS Beast, for take off and landing@ThePropellerIsAFan

Well perfect timing then lol@Trijets
Sorry, I’m not familiar with it@FearlessAce
Your cargo plane?@FearlessAce
Well it is kinda part of the challenge lol, right in the description@TheMitsuboshiBoi

+1@Galland @FearlessAce, here’s the newest challenge, with about a month to build it, if interested
Well I’m kinda using mobile lol, and don’t have discord, but would it still work?@Trijets
It was fun watching them all honestly, and I have pictures from the fights but wouldn’t let me paste them in unfortunately @Trijets
I’ll make sure to give it a longer time for people who build slow or are busy often@FearlessAce

Well eventually soon I’m gonna do another similar challenge, with the same grading scale, but don’t know what or when I’ll do it @Galland
+1@Trijets @teodor99 @jacephysicsboss
@TheMitsuboshiBoi @Pufferfish0749 @Tonnkatu500
@GeneralPatrick2 @Cabbage17 @SimplyPlain
+2Oh really? Didn’t know that thanks@ChisP
Also to anyone who’s curious, The Me-119 and SchArCo Buster both got 8/10 on dogfighting, the Me-119 lost to the Type-5 Super Zero and the Cortina TR530, while the SchArCo Buster lost to the Hawker Monsoon and Cortina TR530
So no mods include XML and Overload?
How are winners being announced?
Yeah I kinda realized it’s wings angle forward a little bit, but oh well, and it is B-17esque, which was also accidental lol@Pufferfish0754
I’m almost halfway done with testing, and it’s taking longer than expected lol, but so far I’ve gotten some interesting results, and some expected ones as well. Hopefully will be done soon.
+1Lol, I got to do it all after work@TheMitsuboshiBoi
Off by 10 points ain’t bad, what’s the issues?@Pufferfish0754
At my time it’s still the 25th, but it’s also by the end of the day here for the submissions, then results will be posted at the end of my tests@TheMitsuboshiBoi
lol, thanks@Tieioi
It’s not too bad lol, just slow and sluggish, which I guess is how a big bomber should feel like@Tieioi
I think I spent the most time and added detail on my entry than I ever have on anything else I built, but feels like I could have done better still
I like the basics of it, the cockpit that far back is very interesting, and the fact that it’s detailed is even better. Also not often you get an Italian design too
Thanks, I can add the dogfight matchups and have the results on there plus the points for originality, design and other factors@Trijets
I honestly really don’t know how to do that lol@Trijets
Yes, xml and overload are allowed@FearlessAce
Because I want to see the best of the best, and that people are just getting this as well, I am extending it another week to March 26th, so @FearlessAce, @Trijets, you guys have an opportunity to get something in, anyone who wants to improve or add another aircraft to the mix has the ability to do so.
I was thinking of extending it a little bit, because a lot of people are just coming to seeing this now@Trijets
You still got a whole day pal@FearlessAce
Very cool pusher concept, and a nice back story too, very enjoyable
The Tri-motor set up is interesting, and for the fused guns thing it’s perfectly within the rules
That is the inspiration, except I left out the inverted gull wings, and also the cannon under the fuselage is based off the Il-20 where it swivels down for level flying strafing@Pufferfish0754
Having a dogfight between your creation and mine is quite fun, especially since mine is British and yours is German, and speed and maneuverability is relatively close, only thing is how fast your guns are compared to mine
Is it supposed to be March 25th deadline if it’s 10 days away?
Well my constant building of biplanes has become beneficial, although I tried some new things so hopefully it works fine
It’s a killer lol, although I think if I shortened the fuselage it might make it more maneuverable@Pufferfish0754
I did on mine@LordAidanYT
That’ll make a lot of aircraft lol, oh and I remembered the insignia this time, but forgot to color the tail gun@Pufferfish0754
Thanks, since I already made a dive bomber previously I took the knowledge of the dive flaps and transposed it to this one@Pufferfish0754
I didn’t add it to the description because I didn’t test it before hand but it also works with torpedoes, just got to angle the X dimension by 10 degrees and add it on the pylon
Oh I’m good at that, especially since carrier aircraft is my specialty@Pufferfish0754
