@Spikerya so you've improved it but upset it as well, you need to isolate the wings and landing gear on the vtol slide as currently you pull the gear up and alter the pitch of the wings.
@Spikerya sorry I've been at work for the past 10 hours or so as you are looking at a folding wheel type aircraft I would suggest you keep it in mind for your upgrade. Proportions need to be roughly 2:1, with length being almost twice that of the wingspan.
Wings and tail need reducing in length by about a third each to bring it to the right proportions but otherwise jolly nice effort, like the structured rear fuselage a lot, with the clipped wings mobility improves noticeably.
@KingDeadshot @Spikerya @JacobHardy64 thanks for the early ratings guys, @JacobHardy64 the hard points yep, could do with more activators for them, I'm going to rearrange my armaments shortly as they all seem to be all over the place in my sub assembly's and I'm sure some other weapons have been made that are better these days.
SAM evasion isn't all about the plane the crazy way you fly it makes a huge difference, trainer jet for example can get you to the 3rd wave with little difficulty.
Would you mind some suggested improvements? Hopefully you won't. Switch the main wings to symmetrical this stops the pitching up. Move the rear wheels forward to near the COM so you can lift off far quicker as the tail goes down. Reduce the range of movement in the tailplane to 15 degrees as 45 is too much. Fit airbrakes towards the rear of the plane you have so much thrust you need to be able to dump speed quicker. This all done and it's a good little plane.

@gorz92 perfectly fine to prefer the layout of this one, other than the torpedo which I have to say isn't my own work I prefer the looks of this one, maybe I will build a 1.13 with the longer front legs, the forward cockpit, the torpedo and rockets.
Nice effort always good to see something original posted up, I would suggest moving the rear gear closer the wings to aid in takeoff but apart from that it flies well enough.
You don't have a blue COL circle so it doesn't take a genius to work out that that is your problem together with big compound lift wings. I stuck a heavy fuel cell next to the nose and switch to symmetric wings and it flies without a problem.
As you haven't answered about use of your torpedo or others can I introduce you to the Lovely VaNeSsA 12c, (vintage naval strike aircraft). She's an old fashioned girl with a big stick, torpedo is best dropped low slow and close, the bombs can be dumped on Tiny or wherever and the drop tanks make a big splash if you hit something hard. Obviously other variations are available:

Umm, yes I love the design, but umm it seems maybe it should have a little more speed, because on occasions on a slight high occasion, it loses speed quickly, but it is close enough to being, grand, I will try uploading a video
Looks good nice to see someone new do something original.
Ok I will have another look.
You have wings going through wings never a good idea, move the bombs forward a little and you should be fine.
By propeller are we talking anything that looks like a propeller or does it have to be one or more of the in game standard propeller engines?

It's a plane that needs patience to fly took an age to gain the 1000ft needed to go over to the island runway.
Have a few more stars
Now just build the rest of the spitfire to the same scale.
Needed more ground clearance but apart from that it's not bad at all.
Getting close to that silver vase.
@Spikerya thanks you have been very generous with your ratings.

@WalrusAircraft had a feeling that would be the case but if anyone can do it you can.
@JMicah4 I was answering your question about shadows
The long white one at the bottom?
@JMicah4 top lighting obviously no flash photography.
Could you not have turned the front one so that the end doesn't protrude? Otherwise yet more excellent work from you.
Looks good but I think you need to sort the nose out a little it looks a little long.
Yes it's possible to unfollow someone.

I already entered but if stars help get others involved.
Right up @PlanesOfOld street, now which one will be choose....

@Th3Champ sorry didn't see you rated this many thanks.
@gorz92 many thanks comes in a 1.12 version as well which flies a little straighter and has a different weapons load.
Great looking but needs a pusher prop.
Think you may find this challenge has already been posted at least twice this week.

Ah come on the Hunter is perhaps the prettiest jet plane made last century this is a little bit mehhh.
Minimum change flying example now uploaded.
@Spikerya thanks for the rating.
@Spikerya I'm a big brave boy and you didn't make me cry for very long 😢

Really well built jet that's nice to fly, well done.
Not bad as simple example of this old bird.
Looks great, saved for flying shortly.
Adding a nose cone doesn't really make it a Hunter now does it?
Going to come back to this looks interesting and unloved.
I'm going to upload link the Grob for this early 50's strike jet.......
@Hypnoticchicken made a few amendments as per your suggestions, hope you like.
Fair enough, I will stick a successor on here;
@Electra10 should be the second one down on my list then if you click on my name.
