Comment:

It's been a long time since TDIII, now I'm going to create a dogfight myself without EchoWhiskey11 he's not working right now.

Why Thunderdome 3.5? Because I created the new game by myself, TD4 won't be available right now.

Objective:

Build a fighter to go head to head with your fellow player in a one on one, AI vs AI dogfight. This is a test of design more than art. Each dogfight will be randomly selected and last plane flying is the winner.
Rounds will be broadcasted via YouTube.

Rules:

1.Must be a Jet
2. Must use no more 4 guns, 8 guardian missiles
3. 1 Chaff pod can be used
4. Cosmetic, Engine, and Build XML can be used, no XML modded weapons
5. Cannot have more than 300 Parts
6. Power Ratio cannot Exceed 5
7. Must be a successor to this design so we can find your entry (the cockpit is in the trophy). If for some technical reason you can just link your plane in the comments below.

Builder Notes:

Hey Guys, next challenge is Flash. There's more that goes into jets, like fuel consumption, weight distribution, and power to weight ratios. I'll allow modding the engines since stacking engines will just mean you'll be out of fuel fast, you cannot exceed a power to weight ratio of 5, so under menu look for the i button to see how much power you plane is putting out. Experiment with vectoring thrust, wing designs and stability. 

For those who are new, the theme to the whole challenge is engineering, not necessarily can you make a cool looking fighter jets. You essentially have to balance out different factors like weight, fuel consumption, how heavy of a load can your plane carry, and can your plane out fly another craft with all these factors. Now this time around I'm giving everyone a little more flexibility. You can add power to your engines via XML. Jets will have a Power/Ratio not to exceed 5. So you'll have more freedom with XML for the sake of building and cosmetics, and not so much overpowering, and in the end it's fair.

BTW this is all for fun, as we know matches can be as much as luck as skill. This is a celebration of the engineering and thought that goes into making something fly well and not just look good. Upvoting players work won't have much of a say in the One on One portion, so it's okay to Upvote your fellow competitors, and learn from other builders. Plus you get to your plane on YouTube.

Thanks for participating, and lets make it a good one.

    The behavior of the plane must be realistic or can it overcome the rules of physics?
