@spefyjerbf Yup, that's why trim is important... Same goes for real-life planes (hell, with lifting surfaces trim would be even worse with speed and lift and the like involved!). Also, those dumb-fire rockets are apparently nuclear-tipped for some reason...
The lore is good, the flight model... Let's just say that the sensitivity on the gyro-stabilizers should be linked to VTOL lever as the plane does not really have a neutral trim: the engines, both the atmospheric plasma drives and the orbital distortion drives have a tendency to pitch the craft up (the fact that the drive have a noticeable "pulse" doesn't help either). Also, as the coding on my own version of the system looks like "(YawRate * 25) - (Yaw * 625)", I'm pretty sure that even with sensitivity control(s) we don't need an entire paragraph's worth of codes...
One quick question: is the Worker's Republic closer to the Nordic States or to the USSR? Basically, what I mean is that a properly regulated market is good but having an authoritarian (or worse, totalitarian) regime that clamps down on basic human rights and freedoms not so much...
@Blaize1380 Guess not everyone knows orkish... Basically what I wanted to say "that's a lot of guns, although there's never a time we can have too many guns, so perhaps we should add even more". Or literally: "more guns, (you can) never (have) enough guns, *maniacal shouting*"
@GESICHERT Ok, it's just that "you can steer while looking at the left and right windows" sentence seems to contradict with the "folding windsield" part so I asked to be sure.
BTW, what's this plane based on?
@GESICHERT "the windshield is foldable and you can steer while looking at the left and right windows"
I assume you mean there are two pilots sitting behind their respective windshield-looking-things on the fuselage? Because IIRC if the pilot sits inside the fuselage and looks through the side windows similar to the Spirit of St. Louis you don't really need those windshields.
"Sometimes the SeaRAM will crash into the water instead of flying to a plane, so only launch it on the water in case it blows the ship up."
Err ...what?
The beam velocity on the radion reactor is a bit too low for stable orbital flight - we've talked about that on the LAF-12 reactor units. Also, the beam cannons can be better at ground attack if there's a slight spread to them - basically, a particle thrower, if you may.
@AzureCorp Ok sorry for that threatening tone, but still, for a successor built on the airframe of the A-10 it feels very wrong to have only a single engine...
Single engine? IIRC one of the main survivability features of the Warthog is the twin engines! Like, if one gets damaged the other one can still bring it back to base...
@TMach5 And we still have a B-2 bomber that somehow can be used for both dogfighting and strafing. Don't worry, I'll tag you once I upload the plane - it's just not a challenge entry anymore.
@TMach5 It's just my original plan for the CAT1 entry turned out to be a discount B-2 Spirit that have quite some problems reaching the 300-part lower limit.
The picture link seems to be broken. Pretty sure whatever that discord link works better than the postimage one. Also, in case anyone's wondering, I don't even know what discord is.
Pretty sure the site can't really directly use that  link, and have to rely on the one that resizes it. But IIRC that discord link worked without hassle.
@Skylerthedrawer As in "story" or "plotline". So basically he meant he's gonna give us a glimpse into his own fictional universe when he reaches 1,500 points.
@Greggory005 Just realized its because I used the wrong ####ing link that it got resized. The original-sized version of the picture can be found on this link. Not sure which version is better, though.
Also, so what's the name of the picture site you're using?
@Skylerthedrawer I'm pretty sure it's lore reveal... In case anyone's wondering, Greg has basically written an entire novel featuring his various builds and the like.
@FujiwaraAutoShop
+2function = "MultiRole"
Kako! Good ta see ya 'round 'ere!
+1Am I the only one who just spawns a plane loaded with a shit ton of missiles (all set to multirole) and try my damndest to shoot them all down?
+1@MAHADI Exactly.
@Hardy1 Better question: is the replica of a fictional design considered replica or fictional?
+1Given there's only one water molecule, shouldn't it be covalent?
+3Nice one, Abhinav!
+3One cannot do it alone, but tou-can...
Sorry.

+1Is it just me or does this resemble the GOG Milano? And of course half of the Star Citizen fleet was added into the mix as well.
+1Cool!
+1I can't decide... Both look so beautiful!

Ok, silliness aside, I just love the notion of filling the sky with fire and lead.
MOAR DAKKA! NEVAR 'NUFF DAKKA!! WAAAAGGGHHH!!!

When you have mors parts than the real thing...
A Focke-Wulf Fw. 200 Condor?
+1The gears look a tad bit too small, but pretty nice otherwise.
+1"Sometimes the SeaRAM will crash into the water instead of flying to a plane, so only launch it on the water in case it blows the ship up."

Congrats on gold!
Is this supposed to be a farming equipment on Mars or what?
Yes I'm talking about the front wheels resembling something on the mars rovers.
~ We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year! ~
@Greggory005 So the enemies are made out of graphite?
+1So... is Karvakia China?
+2@RamboJutter
Not a PC issueWell I mean my laptop starts to melt at 300...
When the number of parts are starting to catch up with the real thing...

Holy molly... So this is your take on that Riko guy's sub?
@rexzion Just sorta felt "wait I should have followed that guy a while ago" and...
Ah, the ensign remover, eh?
@AzureCorp True, as long as you don't dive in too steep on a target and got caught by AA further out all is fine, right?

Ultimately decided against participating, there's no point in entering something that adheres to neither the spirit nor the words of the rules.
@Greggory005 Ok...
@Greggory005 So basically some sort of skype or zoom?
@Greggory005 "it work is"? Sorry for being a grammar fanatic, again.
Have you forgotten a certain parenthesis?
