V-2 XFC-4B Tulip Interstellar Interceptor

1,416 Aileen  2.6 years ago

The V-2 XFC-4B is the final achievement of the designer's exploration of the potential of the XFC-4 after the emergence of the EFC-15 reconnaissance aircraft whose performance far exceeds that of the XFC-4A. Although its mobility still lags behind that of the EFC-15, it has made great progress compared with the clumsy XFC-4A. Other improvements of the aircraft include expanding the range, re configuring the center of gravity and improving flight stability, In addition, the aircraft is equipped with an accurate automatic turret, which has become the most powerful model of V-2 series in dog fight. The above performance improvements have effectively extended the service time of XFC series V-2 in the Navy Aviation of the Republic, and changed the pilot's bad impression of XFC series since XFC-4A to a certain extent.

    @Moorington Yes,I have considered that the whole nose can be ejected as an escape pod when the aircraft is damaged, or the wing can be discarded with explosive bolts. However, my ability of making aircraft is not enough to realize these functions in the game, but you have realized them on the A42, which surprised me very much.

    @Aileen You are right. This is a very advanced idea, I wonder if you would have thought of discarding damaged modules directly during flight and engagement, just like the core fighter we used on Atlanta. In fact, I've been working on this kind of technology recently, and I'm going to apply it to the A-45, hopefully to give you some inspiration!

    @Moorington I think so. This aircraft refers to the carrier based aircraft in many science fiction works. I think the maintenance conditions that a small warship sailing in space for a long time can provide for the carrier based aircraft are very limited. As a reconnaissance aircraft that may be deployed to a small warship, the modular design is conducive to improving the repair efficiency of the aircraft after damage, When the reconnaissance aircraft does not perform combat tasks, it can also be disassembled and stored to save space in the warship.

    It's a really good idea to put the rotary gun on the tail!And,I looked at the structure of the fuselage of your plane. Do you want to make the parts of the plane that are used for different functions modular?
