@CrestelAeronautics Actually, the RE-3's guns were specially designed to avoid gunsmoke going into the inlet, although difficult to model due to the "simple" aspect.
But even that had an issue: said method involved angling the guns, so have fun aiming the realistic RE-3 lol
There's only a few ways from what I know, and they're not always surefire:
-Set your part mass really high. The parts usually survive, but will still break apart.
-Use high-health parts. Same issue as the first method, but at least this one can improve survivability to guns while not hurting flight performance.
-Set partCollisionResponse to None on all parts. Tedious, but it can help the aircraft be more durable, and if properly executed can even make the plane immune to crashing, but missiles can still threaten it. I should also mention that explosive weapons (except cannons) may not work properly if you use this method on them.
-Damage models. As you may know, a part, when destroyed, will often destroy the parts around it. But if a part attached to a detacher or rotator is destroyed, this won't happen. Use rotators and/or detachers to build a damage model (similar to what I did on my M-War II aircraft like the LF-4 or Mu-19) and you MIGHT stand a chance. I will warn you though, this method probably has the least success of the ones I've mentioned, at least regarding how to survive missiles. Damage models are really ideal for gun combat.
-The most successful method from my experience, is not the victim, but the threat: setting the explosionScale variable on missiles to something below 0.75 can make missiles survivable, only issue with this tactic is that they might end up not doing enough damage, especially to high-durability aircraft. If properly executed, though, you can make somewhat survivable missiles.
-I'm cheating with this one, but the best way to survive a missile is not to get hit by one in the first place! Flares, chaff, hiding behind terrain, staying too close for the missile to maneuver to you, whatever floats your boat.
@CrestelAeronautics Craziest duel of all time:
A-40D, CFA-44, T-3 Final Plan, Skywolf 3.0, Moebius, and Erusean Sea Vixen
vs
Sopwith Camel
(Camel wins mid diff)
@CrestelAeronautics Anyways I'm gonna get started soon. I'm building a Kikka in honor of a plan me and Monarchii formed sometime before M-War II, I'm also helping someone fix an aircraft of theirs, but after those two are done I can get started.
What's the deadline for the challenge?
@CrestelAeronautics Oh don't worry, I've got a few reasons not to make another A-40 anytime soon:
1. The A-40D is a culmination of new technologies. While I've found many ways to make my planes look and perform better, I haven't particularly found any major and innovative weaponry which I could equip onto a new A-40.
2. The A-40's legacy was built from The Most OP Plane Challenge, and that's that; I likely won't pull out the A-40s for other challenges, although I do want to someday make a somewhat part-efficient A-40.
3. Between my iPad's patience with the A-40's high performance cost slowly degrading and my poor building skills on PC, I couldn't make major modifications to the A-40 anymore in the near future even if I wanted to.
4. Sooner or later I should shine the spotlight on the A-52A EMCA, which is technically better than the A-40 in some areas (the A-40 possesses superior armament, but the A-52 has thrust vectoring, supermaneuverability, and immune to crashes unless breakable parts are added onto it).
5. Above all else, the A-40D is already peak (at least to me), I see no need to change it anymore.
TL;DR:
I might make a part efficient A-40 just as a joke, but for the actual competition you can rest assured it won't be another A-40 lol
I'm not sure if this challenge will be easy for me because I already have experience or hard because I've already made so many (A-40 Series, A-52, Super Hydra Mk.V/VI counts, etc.)
