TL;DR: I need to replace my old training jet, and some cringey flashbacks

Backstory

The XM-122 was my first ever fictional aircraft design...

Due to my inexperience the plane still have some performance issue, so i decided to make her as a training jet, and turns out it didn't perform well too, it can't even turn at low speed and since she is already slow you know what im saying....

The plane has major disadvantages in speed and agility and only boast in its stability. As time goes by she is becoming obsolete, so i decided to find a new replacement for her. I wanted to make something that is not too sci-fi looking and currently i don't have any inspiration to make one because i haveve already spend them all on a particular challenge Xd. So i stumble upon a simple design and i was like "Hey, this will do" and started to change some aspect to it. After the development, the new plane turns out to be a lot better than my XM-112, it is more maneuverable, fast, and stable.

But...

Do i hate my XM-112 ? well of course not, i know the performance is crp but i design her before i found SimplePlanes. The first one is not always the best but because of this aircraft i started continuing on other designs. As soon as i found SimplePlanes from a certain famous youtuber i IMMEDIATELY fooookn download the game while thinking "FINALY I CAN MAKE MY WANNABEE AIRCRAFT DESIGN REALLL HAHAHAHA..." and after geting used to SimplePlanes mechanics i finally started to build this aircraft. As i finish converting my drawing into a playable-3D-Model and hit the play button i started to fly this thing and you dont know how happy i was back then (it still can't turn tho because i made it with a blocks instead of fuselage parts lol).

And now i officially retire XM-112 Salmon. Thank you friend, without you the other planes would not have been existed, you can now rest in peace.

Description

The T-178 Badjett is a experimental Training Jet design to replace the old XM-112 Salmon. She is meant to be a versatile aircraft that excel in many fields although she have mediocre performance than any other role-specialized aircraft. The number "178" on her designation code considered to be a lucky number.

Technology & Wildcards

=> CWS3 - 30mm Brrrt Gun
The aircraft is equipped with a 30mm Brrrt Gun mounted below the cockpit. This gun provide devastating firepower and can deliver heavy damage on enemy vehicle at a long range.

=> CWS11 - HVAA (High Velocity Air-Air Missile)
High-speed air-to-air missiles that make mincemeat of slow-witted targets. Their ability to travel long distances makes them ideal for surprise attacks.

=> QAAM Missile
A Small yet agile missile that has a wider lock-on radius and fast target acquiring.

=> Reverse Thrust
This aircraft equipped with reverse thrust, increasing its braking performance.

=> Gyroscopic Stability
This will make the aircraft more stable in flight and strafing ground target.

=> Functional Bomb Sight (@SnowFLakE0s)
A cross reticle bomb sight mounted under the fuselage. Engineered by a mechanical and projectile physics enthusiast, this device will help you land your bomb accurately on target.
