@GhostHTX Well, it was more than four years ago, long before all these nifty new gadgets like funkytrees or fuselage slicing... And given my own creations back then were oftentimes below 100 parts with no paneling or interior to speak of... it would be much more forgivable to have a non-functional turret than a hideous plane. And about fakery... it's just that I personally enjoy having my planes' flight characteristics as close to how it would be be IRL as possible. Given my personal builds are oftentimes created with my personal AU settings (no, I won't write a fic about them, I'm too autistic for that) in mind, I felt it personally necessary to "feel" how something would function in-universe, and not just in-game.
@GhostHTX Their loss, pal, their loss. Also, what rules? Unless you meant those self-imposed restrictions only someone as autistic as I am would follow...
Question one: why?
Question two: how?
Either way, impressive design, although I sorta see why traditional VLS cells became more popular than other launching mechanisms...
@GenrichTitov Not "everything", just "everything I find good-looking" as per usual. I guess that's why I can never run challenges: I'm very unsure about whether I could hold myself back enough to not upvote everything good I see, and thereby rendering the entire reward system moot.
@ZoaMiki Wait what? Last time I checked the HPM Wolfpaws (read: nuclear micro missiles) are short-range (about 20s of burn time) missiles with around 1700m/s of delta-v...
@V Posted a few fixes and updates using the improvement form.
Quick summary:
new input: LaunchCountermeasures (first seen in this design)
new attribute under CounterMeasureDispenser: autoDispenseDelay (first seen in this design)
Pretty sure LandingGear is boolean, or at least it defaults to -1.
@ZoaMiki Right, Zoa, any updates on this plane? Still wondering whether I should add a set of target/bucket type thrust reversers on the plane's "space engine" when reverse thrust is in effect...
.
..
... Or just a new exhaust nozzle with the reversers installed, to be perfectly honest.
Yeah. I found out that it's pretty much the best way to make them spaceworthy. Refer to commlog here.
I mean, given his (admittedly around as autistic as I am) settings, he is intending to use them as anti-starship torpedoes, and with data I've gathered with my (largely mothballed) Proxima project, I just did what I would consider to be the best course of action.
Ah, I see, malicious compliance at its finest. Somehow the site seems to be divided into monsters with 600+ parts... and potatoes with less than a hundred. What happened to the era of 200-500 part moderates?
Errrr.... Whose auto-aim turrets are you trying to use? The @SenSkysh one (link) workes for me well enough...
.
..
... and granted, I don't even have an upload for like, 14 months or so, so I'm pretty sure I don't really have the right to tell a plat what to do or not...
@RamboJutter Moving the COG rearward is pretty much exactly the same as moving the COL forward? OFC then there's the the issue of visibility.... Also, I thought aside from the Imperial Japanese pretty much everyone else still somewhat value the pilots' lives? The Vultee XP-54 Swoose Goose had a downward ejection seat, while both the Curtiss XP-55 Ascender and the Northrop XP-56 Black Bullet were designed to jettison the props similar to the Do 335. Either way, all those things would probably make the plane heavier and slower than their traditional counterparts, and in the XP-56's case, make it too tail-heavy to be airworthy.
.
..
... Also, I thought the heaviest part of a plane is the engine? A front-engined pusher design also meant an engine shaft half a dozen meters long before we even get to the gearbox....
....
.....
...... And now, ungrateful nickpicking time®: I thought something called the anti-gravity system would always point against the direction of gravity? Would a gimbal system that always points the thrust down help a lil' bit?
Damn, just... damn. Still didn't quite figure out why the pusher design, though... Unless the Germans in the fictional timeline has already got good ejection seats, this thing is bound to cause some problems in the long run...
... ofc given the Do335 was designed to jettison the prop assembly plus the tail fin with explosive bolts, pushers are probably less of a big deal...
@JeskoGoesVROOM
"absolutely hate going down to like 0.1cm fuselages so i use larger pieces instead and work around the size issue with slicing, rotating and other stuff"
Same.
@OrdinaryTankBuilder More like Ju 288, He 219, and Ju 287, plus a pinch of B-26's gun pods (Mitchell's are more flush with the fuselage) and the mangled remains of a de Havilland Mossie.
@RamboJutter Yeah, there's a reason why the interwar period was the golden age of aviation, right? Art deco lines and relatively low entry cost to still remain competitive. Also, on a side note, I have to say this plane looks like a German plane with British wings with her bubble-like stepless canopy that suggests a proud and noble Heinkel bloodline or even the warlike blood of a Junkers lady, which somehow made her even prettier just like those interwar movie sta- [record scratch] Tom, we've been through this. Stop. Simping. Over. Planes.

... But she looks so pretty... No, just... no. Stop. Please. Stop.
She's... beautiful... The old one looks good, but this one... she... she's a masterpiece of dieselpunk beauty. Those curves, those guns, damn... just damn.
@RolandTelmsFrossag It's not my design? Sadboye is pretty much a living god for Sci-fi designs, and Avalon is no slouch either. All I did was literally two lines of code on the AA turrets.
@Sadboye12 Once again, no need to apologize. And yeah... when all else fails, just roll back the version, eh? But IIRC that all but guarantees that whatever new features of 1.11 would not be supported when using PC... which just sorta defeats the purpose of having it on pc...
Begone, foul abominations of the plague god! [* Opens fire with purification intent *]
.
..
... Yes that's a WH40k reference. And also yes, the intakes looks rather... unnerving, at least to me.
@Sadboye12 No worries, I figured out from quite a while ago that you're pretty busy. Hell, it's just good to hear from you again - especially after that whole Cerberus schadenfreude.
