Backstory

Sourced from wikipedia

PAK DP (Russian: ПАК ДП, short for: Перспективный авиационный комплекс дальнего перехвата, romanized: Perspektivny aviatsionny kompleks dal'nego perekhvata, lit. ''Prospective air complex for long-range interception'') is a Russian programme to develop a stealth interceptor aircraft/heavy fighter under development by Mikoyan[1][2][3][4] to replace the Mikoyan MiG-31 in the Russian Aerospace Forces in mid-2030s.[5][6][7] It is often referred to as the Mikoyan MiG-41, because its project code is izdeliye 41 (product 41), but an official designation has not been given, as Russian planes only receive an official designation when they are about to enter service.[8] According to Russian defence analyst Vasily Kashin, the MiG-41 would be considered a 6th generation project.[5]

Operation

This plane is of course, not what the real MiG 41 looks like, that is if it even exists. But, I’ve tried my best to make this supersonic interceptor as realistic as possible.

Afterburners

This plane has 2 basic flight modes, fast, and Holy Sh#t that’s fast.
To take off, just don’t touch the activation groups and take off normally. But if you want to go very very (like mach I forget) fast, the just activate group 5 and watch the afterburner turn on and accelerate you really fast.

Weapons

Though details are few, we do know that the MiG 41 is probably going to carry 4 satellite-and-B2-killier missiles, and that they’ll be stored in weapons bays.

Naturally, That’s what I did.

The missiles have a lock on time of 0.5 seconds, a range of 1000 km, and have a top speed of mach 10, making them live up to expectations for sure. They can lock on to targets, within 50 degrees of the planes radar, but after fired do not require you to keep a lock. And it has 4 of them. So yeah, enemies are cooked.

Firing a missile

But, if one actually manages to get a missile off at you before they take a R-73m to the face, then you have 2 options.

Either activate 5 and zoom out of the way at mach 4.3, or hold down the flares button and hope for the best.

Do remember that this plane is meant to intercept targets at a long range, and that it is NOT a dogfighter, nor is it maneuverable.

This is my most advanced jet yet with 162 parts, and I hope you enjoy.

GO HAVE FUN!!!!

(p.s. Whoever made this challenge this plane is on team Russia/China if that wasn’t already clear).
