@AvalonIndustries The thing is that when the main turret turns, the flak turret turns with it - and that angle is added to the traverse angle of the flak turret. So when the turret is not pointing straight forward the flak cannon points to the wrong direction.
@CenturiVonKikie @GuyFolk
The in-game drag is still zero, but the fact that it's a wing surface (and thus generating backwards "lift") probably helped a bit. Has seen something similar on some @Greggory005's build.
@spefyjerbf Yeah on a second thought without fuel and delta-V concerns nobody's preventing you from thrusting straight up and then circularize... Oberth effect isn't that necessary when the ship have effectively infinite delta-V, right?
Would probably be a pain to land given the placement of the gears, but the general shape is good. Also, the bomb sight is SICK! In general, a textbook example of good dieselpunk design.
@spefyjerbf Exactly. That said, a high-spread, high-hitbox sort of weapon can lock down an entire airspace without fail - if perhaps a bit laggy for low-end devices. Basically, give the bullets the hitbox of the intercipias, and watch the fireworks. I might mention something about integrating the technology of this and the intercipias in a future CIWS build. Its code name? Grid Fire.
And that's only explosionScale ="1.8"
If we take the boom50's 500lb weight into account and assume it's a Mk.82 GP bomb with a filling weight of around 200lbs, and assume the Cleaver is based off the Tomahawk (notice the name, weight, and size of the weapon) with a 1000lb warhead, we'll get that a cleaver should have around 5 times the explosive power of a boom50, and then we plug the data into the Taylor's equation (using boom50's explosionScale = "1.6" as a basis), and we'll get that the Cleaver should have the an explosionScale of 2.25 or so! TL;DR: the Cleaver should be even more overpowered than it already is. That's how powerful a cruise missile is.
@IceCraft Yes. Read the last paragraph. I used the Taylor's formula (graciously gifted by spefyjerbf, the one and only) to sorta determine how they'd work.
@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...
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?
@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...
@Revan13152 The reason why I asked? The last thing I need when discussing about someone's build is to have someone telling me that I used the wrong pronoun. And also, I now view you as a friend, so I now need to know if it's appropriate to call you things along the lines of "bro" and "my lad"! Yeah, guess it's just me being autistic enough to actually care about such things...
@Sadboye12 Well I guess that's not too efficient when you're both bombarding a target 20 miles away and under attack from enemy bombers...

+1For a second I thought you are using Wright Cyclone engines...
+1@Tang0five The biggest question is why I haven't upvoted them yet or why I haven't followed you when they came out...
+1THAT turret, eh?

Are those... Yamato's guns?

+1@Grroro Bonus point for both of you guys are hafus, read his bio.
+1@Grroro True. This guy's so underrated.
+1'Grats Greggios!
+1@Macrophage Yes, according to the taylor equation your cleaver would have a yield of around 0.5 kt...
+1@Macrophage Yup, w/ the explosion scale of 9 you're getting a sub-kiloton nuke...
+1And that's only

@CenturiVonKikie Tag me when it's done.
+1Your desperate pleas only made upvoting this even more pleasurable...
+1Of course not an Ju-52. Different gear and different flight deck.
+1@WolfSpark Yup, the literal point is that it's a bit too short to have the same proportions as the Wildcat...
+1Blood for the Blood God! Skull for the Skull Throne!
+1@Greggory005
+1This hack is gonna be pretty useful!Finally...
@IceCraft IIRC there's a mission called the convoy assault...
+1@IceCraft Feel free to try them out! Bombing truck convoys is my favorite past-time anyways...
+1@IceCraft And also yes, those metric-ton monstrosities (the Mk.84 and the tomahawk) is gonna put a huge dent in whatever they hit.
+1@IceCraft Yes. Read the last paragraph. I used the Taylor's formula (graciously gifted by spefyjerbf, the one and only) to sorta determine how they'd work.
+1Kako! 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@Hardy1 Better question: is the replica of a fictional design considered replica or fictional?
+1@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...

+1Cool!

A Focke-Wulf Fw. 200 Condor?
+1The gears look a tad bit too small, but pretty nice otherwise.
+1@Greggory005 So the enemies are made out of graphite?
+1f i r s t
+1@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?
+1@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...
+1@Revan13152 There are three more of us aspies that I know of: MintLynx from Texas, Avro683Lancaster from Australia, and FeatherWing from the UK.
