WWII fictional fighter challenge (CLOSED)

4,049 SchadeAircaftCompany  4.2 years ago

A challenge! This time, with rewards! Winner will get 5 upvotes, 2nd gets 3, and 3rd gets 1. Now time for rules: Must be a fictional design, you can have inspiration from real aircraft, but must be completely fictional and your own (you may use previous designs, just link it in the comments). Must be WWII based, jets are allowed, if they follow the style of the time, AKA no locking missiles, and not breaking speed records. Try to keep it as realistic as possible, as in don't just have 30 machine guns on one wing, as an example. The deadline will be March 19th, so 2 weeks to get it as good as possible. The aircraft will be put in an AI vs AI dogfight to help decide the winner. This time I will allow multiple entries, but only one of your aircraft can win (as in one person won't be able to get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, if this problem arises I will go to the next creator for the respective placement). Good luck.

    Because I want to see the best of the best, and that people are just getting this as well, I am extending it another week to March 26th, so @FearlessAce, @Trijets, you guys have an opportunity to get something in, anyone who wants to improve or add another aircraft to the mix has the ability to do so.

    I’m almost halfway done with testing, and it’s taking longer than expected lol, but so far I’ve gotten some interesting results, and some expected ones as well. Hopefully will be done soon.

    ooooh shoot I am laaate

    Tip for your next challenges, give at least one month for your challenges, since players sometimes can't do simpleplanes on certain days, and some people build faster and slower than others. The more time given, the more quality content you get in return.
