This assessment will be combined into the five podiums listed. It will be calculated based on the scores obtained. In addition, there will also be an unwritten assessment that I will give, so please prepare as best as possible so you don't regret it later. I won't listen to such complaints, as I've already told you several times not to rush.
Deadline
(I will not change this, so remember it well.)
February 16th, 2026.
You’re actually free to upload your build as soon as you want, but I’d recommend not rushing it. Take your time to polish and refine it so it can be as PERFECT as possible, if you’re aiming for a PERFECT SCORE.
By the way, it’s kind of a shame this challenge doesn’t really suit fictional aircraft builders… yeah, like me :p
Well.. Maybe Soviet craft is underrated but whatever ┐(￣ー￣)┌

@Mk1Els Umm.. No
Only 1 Craft.
Additional information, you are allowed to make replicas of captured Soviet aircraft or make the Bereznyak-Isayev BI-1 aircraft. All of that is allowed if it actually served during WW2. If it's a post-war era, then it's not allowed. If it's a captured aircraft, I hope you don't use aircraft that you've already made before, that's cheating. You have to really make it from scratch.
It's a bit confusing, but I hope you at least make aircraft from a real Soviet design bureau.
Does 2 entry is allowed ?
@Cadvalto, I apologize again, but thank you for your understanding!
@Yatata77 It's okay mate, at least you're taking responsibility by telling me and fixing it. I appreciate that more.
I apologize in advance, but it seems I'll be uploading tomorrow, because there was an error earlier that caused me to reach the post limit.
Originally, there were credits, but I forgot that I hadn't fixed a few things on the plane. After I reposted, the credits were gone, and you didn't notice.
I deleted it again to fix it, but it turns out I had already reached the upload limit. I'm sorry, I hope this doesn't violate any rules.
Soviet? Well, I'll join!
@Mk1Els Oh, you mean replacing it with other ammunition that is originally a type compatible with the aircraft's capabilities? That's fine.
@Cadvalto nah, I mean like the warthunder, different options of bomb or gun(option will upload on unlisted)
@Mk1Els You should understand what a "Replica" is
@Cadvalto can the plane have different setup of gun or armaments?
@Hooha12 Are you sure you won't regret it? Well, if not... then you should just accept it :D
@Cadvalto oh, welp. I already did my entry
@Hooha12 Only one aircraft per participant. So you really need to delve deep if you want to create a fighter, attacker or bomber.
@TeamWindysoftSkyHeroes Да
Is the 1 aircraft limit overall or 1 limit per type of aircraft? Bcuz I see the different scoring aspects for each type and would like to know if I could do an attacker or fighter
Is it okay for me to make my mobile-friendly part aircraft too?
@Sed WW2, buddy.
Neat, maybe ill work on a Raduga AS-2 Kipper for this challenge
@Cadvalto like I have a GAZ-AAA ready, but I can’t post it cuz I want the time to be right….
@SimplyElegant Maybe later, buddy.
@Cadvalto
So no trucks….
Awwww
seems cool i guess, nothing really to lose
@Mitterbin Okay, goodluck!
@Cadvalto i see... i join...
