LSV2-Monolith-M17

711 Mysweetbologna  4.2 years ago

Hey! I’m back with another airplane that I’m quite proud of! I layed low for a while because I wasn’t too proud of my last two airplanes, so I spent my spare time improving my plane making. I’m very happy to unveil the new addition to my hangar: the LSV2-Monolith!! I spent around 7-8 total hours over the course of 3 days just making this plane. Special thanks to Leehopard, the creator of the F413B-Orca. I was inspired by a few small design elements from the Orca and I borrowed the engine exhaust mechanism from the plane.

(In-lore development)
The Monolith was G13’s second prototype for the Lordship Project. The Lordship Project focused on developing agile and maneuverable jet fighters for the Philippine Air Force (PAF). The Octo1 delta wing fighter plane lacked the maneuverability that many jets had, so the leading team of designers at G13 had to go back to the drawing board, and so, Project Lordship was born. After days and weeks of brainstorming, the team was ready to test a prototype. The first Lordship prototype was a lot flatter in appearance. The prototype was at first quite promising, but the plane severely lacked roll speed. A few tests and variants later, the team gave up on the first design and went back to designing. The second design came a month later, and when the team was confident enough, they made a prototype. The plane was perfect. It was incredibly maneuverable and sleek. 16 previous variations and updates of this plane were made, and the 17th was the one made available for production. The plane lacked the insane speeds of the Octo1, making it up with easy handling and superb maneuverability. The Monolith is a multi-role aircraft, being able to perform air and ground attacks with incredible efficiency

Features:
—Fast speeds
•Can reach up to 1,100+ km/h with the booster on

—Vast arsenal
•HE air to ground machine gun with a 1200RPM fire rate
•6000RPM Gatling for both air and ground attacks
•4x Inferno missiles
•4x Guardian missiles
•2x 7 shot rocket pod

—High-Capacity countermeasures

Activation Groups:

AG1-Activate guns (anti ground cannons and gatling gun) and countermeasure dispensers
AG2-Activate air-to-air Guardian missiles
AG3-Activate air-to-ground Inferno missiles and rocket pods

AG4-Activate air brakes

AG6-Drop all pylons

AG7-Activate booster jet

AG8-Toggle beacon lights

Regular speed is somewhere around ~400km/h
The plane can manage 1100+km/h with the booster on.

This is probably my favorite project yet. I’d appreciate it a lot if you could give an upvote! I’d also equally appreciate any constructive criticism or feedback to help me improve on future builds!
