@everyone I might just repost this, this is solely on my part because of the long writing and lack of time. I'll hold off though, but it doesn't seem to be as popular?
Here are the 2 planes on the main screen. Download them both and play it on the dogfight menu. You'll get a rough understanding of how each part works! Remember that looks are important as well, these planes are not what your planes will look like, this is a definite 10/30
@everyone if y'all want I'll post the 2 planes on the main title screen, so y'all can download and do a replicated dogglide. This will be interesting! Spread the word around!
Realsim: 25 how do you pull an average 9g on turns? Pilots would black out. This thing also wipes out at around 40,000 ft because of engine placements which normal corsairs and by 109s fight in. Getting low here is key. Another things how does it float so well? The hull is barely touching the water surface. Hulls or somewhat submerged.
Looks: 20 Brilliant, the yellow and grey paint job looks like a banana, but a dangerous one, canons make it look menacing. Twin booms give that vampire vibe, the engine placement could've gotten a rework though.
Maintenance: 19 Easy, 2000 canon rounds are easy as long as there's a hatch for it, engine service would be weird.
My thoughts: 5 I had so much fun with this plane, high alts aren't for this plane because of engine placement but still went for it. It's also a good water skimmer reaching 310 mph on water and 420 on top of it. Had to weave it through shark tooth because of its excellent handling on water.
Realism: 35
300mph with an open cockpit, isn't a great idea. The intake is to close to the water as well.
Looks: 25
Looks great, like the detail and thought put into it, I did mention the open cockpit but I think it looks better closed. Throttle and Joystick looks even cooler.
Maintenance: 15
Wide wings make it easy to access engine compartments, and damaged wing surfaces, but reloading all those guns must be hard work.
My thoughts: 5
Absolutely amazing, every part of it, this is a joy to fly! Thank you for making such a good airplane!
Dogfight: 12.5
I think it's better of as a scout plane, as it is one of the planes with a higher service ceiling.
Realism: 10
First of all, landing gear... You probably know what I'm talking about. Second, the other engine that you use to Takeoff creates massive drag. Third mini gun at the tip of the wings, went have more than 20 rounds.
Looks: 12
I kinda see what the more cleaner version looks like, although I suggest using fuselage blocks next time.
Maintenance: 8
Two big engines and two small ones, it would be a pain replacing all of them, and you'll have to lock the front canards just to reload the miniguns.
My thoughts: 3
I like the effort that you put into this build,and it looks like an ekroplan, I think that's what it's called. But take off is a pain, as well as landing, it's too fast.
Dogfight: 12.5
Pretty good plane, but possibly more suited as an interceptor.
Realism: 25
You did state that it was based of steampunk, so everything is good apart from two things: The floats and the missile placement. The floats look like more of ski's and would penetrate the water easily. Missile placement makes the missile vulnerable to sea spray, and has limited turning.
Looks: 25
Absolutely brilliant, it looks futuristic, and I see what you did to the cockpit, next time you should put another one to act as your primary, or else you won't be able to shoot missiles.
Maintenance: 10
Assuming it floats, maintaining it is easy, putting on the missiles is probably the hardest part, as you have space to put it into, not to mention that if you drop the missile, you'll have to get another one.
My thoughts: 2
This is a cool looking plane, but like I said it's more of an interceptor, it doesn't turn well, it has a bad maneuver energy retention, and the tiny tail surfaces cant deflect much.
And let's be honest taking off and landing is a pain, it acts like a tail dragger, and will ground loop if not corrected. Landing with these stubby wings is about 130mph, and it cant even pull up if you abort it.
Dogfighting: 87.5
Did really well, more than I anticipated!
Realism: 10
The radial engine touches the water and so does the blades. Leading to a poss of performance from rust, and water log. The canon looks like it could only carry two rounds. But the wings are mounted high, so I'll give you that.
Looks: 10
Looks unique!
Maintenance: 5
To keep this plane up and running you'll have to keep replacing the rusted, and water logged engine.
My thoughts: 4
Although this will never fly in real life, I like the uniqueness of it, the cannons, although not used in fighting are big and menacing.
1st: W.4 crashed on North Wright Runway
2nd: W.F1 crashed after inverting into the Ocean
3rd: W.4 is shot down after having a head-on with W.F1's hail of tracers
Both planes turn together in a turn fight, D. 500 Vasp uses its double wing to its advantage and catches up, but can't keep up with Kyuketsuki's jet engines. Both planes spiral downwards towards the water, Kyuketsuki's plummets into the water after being forced to dodge.
Rounds:
1st Kyuketsuki ditches in the water
2nd Kyuketsuki peforms a nice touch and go, but simple planes calls it a crash.
3rd Kyuketsuki crashes into the water and does a back flip and lands.
Dragonfly's maneuverability is more superior to W.F 1, W.F 1 struggles to turn but loses energy, Dragonfly catches up and does it well known move, it starts shooting from 0.1 mile away to ensure victory, W. F 1's engine is set on fire and crashes at a near hilltop
Rounds:
1st W. F 1 disentegrates in front of Dragonfly
2nd Dragonfly gets its tail cut lose after surviving multiple shots from behind.
3rd Dragonfly shoots the port side engine and makes W. F 1 yaw dangerously left, it crashes into a hill.
Both planes weave into a rolling scissor most of the time, draining Albatross W. 4 out of energy, Murder Duck creeps on its opponent and sparks a fuel tank.
Rounds:
1st: Albatross W.4 touches the water and lifts of again, simple planes did not count this as a crash. As it lifts of however it stalls and Murder duck shoots and explodes the Albatross W. 4
2nd: Murder Duck is hurled onto the ground after it get's its wing cut loose by Albatross W. 4
3rd: After a long stall fight the W. 4 loses power and is ignited by Murder duck, seconds later explodes.
Winner Winner: Murder Duck
Winner Loser: Albatross W. 4
Note: Because they ended both with fly I decided to group them...
Despite the big humongous target the Mayfly faced, it was more maunervable. But the May fly had also something up its sleeve, its roll rate...
(This fight was basically a Spitfire vs a Fw 190)
But no matter how many reversal it did, the Dragon fly dodged the bullets and turned around.
Rounds:
1st: Dragonfly nudged Mayfly into the
water, but bounced back, but
simple planes called it a crash.
2nd: Mayfly was shot into bits with
Dragonfly only 1 meter away.
3rd: Mayfly blew up after Dragonfly
nudged the back and shot.
Winner heats: Albatross, Dragonfly, Murder Duck, and WF.1.
Loser heats: D.500 Vasp, Kyuketsuki, Mayfly, and War seaplane.
It was a very good dogfight from both competitors, but the D.500 just couldn't get enough power to go vertical.
Rounds:
1st: WF.1 burnt to crisp while turn fighting
with a burning engine.
2nd: D.500 Vasp lost the speed to turn
efficiently after being hit multiple times
and crashes
3rd: Both planes enter a stall fight just above
the water, the D.500 pulls up into a
vertical, but stalls to early, ending up with
a huge fire ball.
Some people know that I've started college, I'm busy atm, but will get it done soon, and if lucky enough I might do a video on this. Although I can't promise it, winner might come to about 2 weeks, or a month, idk plz bear with me. I'll keep posting on the situation.
Hello there, thanks for doing the build, but the gun count is one minigun or two wing guns. you can repost it'll be fine!
@everyone I might just repost this, this is solely on my part because of the long writing and lack of time. I'll hold off though, but it doesn't seem to be as popular?

Judging: Last one!!!
Dogfight: 37.5 Good roll though
Realism: 40 How do these pontoons even float? They're like sticks. Other than that. It's realistic
Looks: 24 Beautiful it's just the pontoons stopping this from absolute perfection.
Maintenance: 15 A bit awkward for engine replacement.
My thoughts: 5 I know that this is an interceptor but I think that with a few tweaks this would be an awesome fighter. Roll rate is really great.

Realism: 40 the only thing backing this plane down is how the ailerons are so small and how trim is flaps. Other than that pretty good

Maintanance: 20 probably the easiest out of all
