Oberon Mk II - Thunder Dome III Challenge

2,269 Mickk  5.0 years ago

So here it is, the MK II version of the aircraft that was the inspiration for the Warrior. Oberon - Future Fighter.

Tweaked to within an inch of it's life, given a paint job and polished until it shines nicely, extra engines added, because more IS better in some cases.

This may be better than the Warrior, but I can't say for sure.
All I know is that it went head to head with Warrior and and only lost because the AI flew it into the water after 5 minutes of dog fighting.
Badly mauled but somehow still flying after it flew out of the water (!) and disqualified, it gave chase still trying to do it's job.

It was a lost cause however, as the main engines were trashed and it was flying on the secondary motors.

Controls as per normal.
Very stable.
