Is this an original design? Anyways, great build as always!
Also, I just HAVE to say that after seeing that weird exchange between you and FairFireFight, I'm.... at least to say, a bit... curious on why you suddenly went full-on defensive after what seemed to be an obvious joke/meme (well, at least to me, that is). Is it a habit formed after people started nitpicking on your earlier SR-71 inspired builds?
only torpedo bay outline included, as launchers would be useless and would increase the part count Why? Is it because the in-game torps are too small and can only run straight?
@Hyattorama Even if it would, it would still be the world's LEAST efficient aircraft design EVER - given how much energy is lost when the piston "catches" the wing and accelerates them into the other direction.
@EternalDarkness Yup, the problem is that in-game surface-to-air missiles does not lock on to a cruise missile (well they don't even show up on radar), while auto-cannons lacks true fragmentation. I guess projectiles with XML'ed sizes (within a certain limit, of course) are allowed?
@Zott Although not "everyone", many are similar enough - that's how people made the movie Tora! Tora! Tora! - there aren't that many flyable WWII Japanese warplanes around anymore, so they decided to simply build replicas out of T-6 Texans and BT-13 Valiants.
A MH-60 Blackhawk (the stealthy variant) combined with a V-22 Osprey? This thing is cool, I have to say, but I think that those engines are less stealthy than the rest of the plane...
@spefyjerbf Yup, the rear engine pods and parts of the fuselage do resemble their counterparts on the orbis, although most of those can also be seen as a direct successor to that of the RONIN MKI. That said, this build is indeed quite a majestic one.
@BlazeInfinity Indeed... 571 parts on android would be a more than a bit laggy... Though given the context, the Italians could mount their own torpedo tubes on the vacancy left from the SAN tubes...
Same chasis as the "shoebox" 117 eh? Have to say the thin armor makes it much less of a medium tank but rather somewhere between an armored reconnaissance vehicle and an assault gun.
I mean, its mission profile stayed pretty much the same both before and after modification, it's all about removing pests from Ukrainian fields afterall...
This particular design was loosley inspired by a plane from a obscure Disney Film called Victory Through Air Power
Ah, yes, the Servesky's wet dream of flying battleships... not as if his most suceccessful fighter design (the P-47 Thunderbolt/"Jug") isn't a flying tank in and of itself...
F8F? XF8B? XP-72?
Also, I'm assuming the experimental part here are the control surfaces?
... Personally I don't really use vanilla control surfaces b/c they tend to jam when damaged while deflected, and I'm trying to make (semi-)realistic combat aircraft damage models, so...
Necro'ing, according to this post from @ku, each drag point is about the same as 0.0010145 m^2 of drag area, aka the poduct of drag coeff of an aircraft times its wing area. (e.g. a plane with 10m^2 of wing area and a drag coeff of 0.02 have a drag area of 0.2 m^2 and should net you about 0.2 / 0.0010145 = 197.14145 drag points)
.... have to say the general aesthetics is much closer to atompunk / raygun-gothic than dieselpunk (as exemplified by the more vivid colors, sharper contrast, and bubble-like shapes); your previous space elevator is solidly within the modern minimalist "iPod" design style.
.
Reference: steampunk ≈ pre-WWI, brass pipes, steam engines, pressure gauges, exposed cogs and pistons; dieselpunk ≈ interwar, diesel/gasoline engines, fairings and streamlining, radiators, utilitarian "form follows function" designs; atompunk ≈ early Cold War, vibrant colors, bubble windows, exaggerated aerodynamic features, with an emphasis on space travel.
@DreamerIndusturies
Thanks! And of course you're free to use the guns as long as you give credit somewhere in your build, although.... personally I'd rather introduce you to the updated and generalized codes here.
Also feel free to check out the companion builds, the clip-based autocannon and the L21A1 RARDEN cannon.
Some bollocks will be saying that the description looks AI generated, but no! I'm not using any help of AI to build the description. I've heaten up my head to build some words for the description.
Yeah, preemptive apologies but modern MTLs have advanced enough to not behave like ESLs anymore.
For a second I thought "wait that's quite a messed up looking Messerschmidt"...
