@HirasawaMY You realize that the ground targets in this game are, in essence, living a sort of Groundhog Day-esque hell where they exist solely to get repeatedly blown up with extreme prejudice by whatever air, land, or sea vehicle happens to show up that time around, yeah?
It's like if Undertale had guided missiles and 226kg bombs.
@ColonelRelford Alternatively, you could have joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, waited for the collapse, and then stole everything.
Seemed like it worked for the oligarchs.
Looks good.
A few nitpicks, however:
-Paint goof: Shiny tires.
-Wish there was a way to turn off gyros.
-Curious where the HUD came from.
-You forgot to invert the flaps after mirroring. All they do is roll in one direction. Remember, fully-body mirroring is your enemy. It WILL mess things up.
-Some stability issues, but in complete honesty I have zero clue what you could do about that.
-Concerned by the small size of the engine intakes. Possibly flame-out risk?
-Air brake looks awkward not being flush with the body.
-Leg room is taken up by wheels, very uncomfortable.
-Need telepathy to retract landing gear, open canopy.
-Balance is rather heavily impacted by firing missiles. Perhaps consider flaps set to trim to counteract this? Never seen it done myself, so it'd be a new system as far as I've seen.
Other than that, shows promise. First Silver craft, no?
I'm wondering what the unit cost is. Some poking around with component prices leads me to suspect something in the ballpark of $7 million CAD per unit.
Going off some math I conveniently found, I reckon this thing would cost about $20k CAD per day. A fuel load will probably run us something under a grand.
That gun. Minigun? 7.62? How many rounds?
I've seen varying prices on those cheap Interceptor missiles, but a general trends seems to be about $300k a unit. Issue is, I hear the Eel Protectorate's getting a special deal from Graingy for about half that, so we'd best be stingy with the rockets.
Reminds me, what currency are we using?
Regardless of all that, I think this has a lot of promise still. Could definitely help us keep the skies clear while more numerous and cheaper aircraft can do their work. One benefit is the single crew member, which is only one salary as opposed to the dozens that a squadron of cheap fighters would need.
I am, however, concerned greatly by the potential to provoke a greater response from a certain Soian-owned enterprise. A few only will probably go ignored, though.
... Someone is so getting fired for this.
+2@Guywhobuildsstuff there's been a leak. Goddamnit.
Honestly a mood.
+2@TheUltimatePlaneLover Do not the MiG-21
+2Your vocabulary.
+2“Info theft” sounded like espionage in this use.
Hm. That’s definitely a plane.
+2@TheMouse Yeah.
+2Seriously, zoom in. You can see a faint red waterline and even a little blue from a brief.
@Noname918181818181818181 @Speedhunter Get a room, you two.
+2Seriously you’ve completely clogged this place

Well, you aren't wrong.
+2I break the Platinum chain.
+2@Yish42 Yeah I'm with Grain on this one.
+2That explains so much.
Sir this is a SimplePlanes
+2@Majakalona I don't get it.
+2@Majakalona If it's taken from Grain Guy's 60kg pile of uranium 235 then I'm happy.
+2@ColonelRelford Alternatively, you could have joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, waited for the collapse, and then stole everything.
+2Seemed like it worked for the oligarchs.
Why is it glowing?
+2Wasn’t this thing stolen?
+2I’m not entirely clear on what exactly that person stole and what they modified.
Looks good.

I'll be in contact.
+2The M2 medium called, it wants its machine guns back.
+2More like going off to war and finding out you've been cheated on.
+2A weapon to surpass Metal Gear
+2You see this sticker with the word “Gold” written on it?
+2That means the chunk of copper I slapped it on is real pure gold!
GOOD LORD that thing is long
+2The landing gear puts a Tu-95 to shame
Bloody Barbie doll, that thing is.
The inside of that jet better be E for Everyone, or I swear to all-!
+2How would a plane bleed?
+1@Graingy HOW IS THIS BLISS?!?!
+1@RB107 fortunately a good battering ram will do the trick nicely.
+1@ThomasRoderick Good to hear.
+1I just got back from Saskatchewan and I think if I see anyone even mention farmland again I’m going to hurl.
+1Let me guess: she’s just seen her vending machine item get stuck after a long day.
+1A fellow Canuck I see.
+1Good luck.
+1@LunarEclipseSP Checking the forums, there does seem to be quite a few of that.
+1@keiyronelleavgeek566 I'm calling the police.
@RailfanEthan That was a long, long time ago.
+1@Boeing727200F I can see that. Unfortunate condition.
@THEOKPILOT Aren't there always?
@Graingy Uh, nay?
+1Why are you asking?
@keiyronelleavgeek566 No...
+1@THEOKPILOT Defect? What defect?
@THEOKPILOT It comes free with your web browser, even.
+1@ThomasRoderick I see.
+1Using the legacy profile picture now, eh?
I’m afraid I’m not familiar.
+1@MosquitowithaMachineGun Do you meet requirements?
+1@MosquitowithaMachineGun What?
+1Of course.
+1@Rjenteissussy I see.
+1From what I can tell some of the variables in Pigpen have no clear uses. I remove one and see no change in performance.
@rexzion Here's hoping for a way to toggle that on/off in SP2.
+1@Graingy Can't recall. Something about the paint scheme, I think.
+1Calm down.
+1@JBPAviation You can't see it, but it's reinforced.
+1Add in a sea monster for a good sea tale.
+1@JSTQ I already achieved it with round()
+1Wow.
