Design concept
“Scorpion” is a 3rd generation fighter that emphasizes speed performance at low altitudes.
There are seven pylons on the wings and body together, and can carry a wide variety of armaments. It also has ground attack capability.
Its fuel capacity is low, so its range is short.

I love the inspiration from the Mirage F1
OADF MOMENT!!!!!!
very good
Good for air combat simulation
@ZacOnTrack yeah ik i mean the author on SP which had a similar thumbnail
@Corn8 The Mirage F1 (The F1 was the version which was upgraded to meet Gen 3 specifications)
@ZacOnTrack Yes, even the thumbnail looks like one of the mirage (cant remember which)
Be honest: How many of you initially thought this was Mirage F-1?
@SonsoftheMoth Would love to see a modernized version of this!
@JFAlR123
I intend to release another aircraft soon.
@ollielebanania
I am glad you liked it.
The airbrakes and LG mechanics are my favorite points.
Looking forward to your next work.
It’s like if the Japanese T-2 had 1 engine
Such a simple but good looking plane, I love the details on it, the airbrakes being part of the landing gear bay doors, spoilers, flaperons, real bays for the LG, these inverted air intakes, just lovely and really good for a fictional plane, a lot of creativity here.
Different variants, good flight model (right in between realism and fun), cool to play thanks to a polyvalent loadout, an interior with a nice cockpit (not the most complete or detailed but looks good for sure and is a good addition), an inertial camera (same here, not the best but hey nobody thinks about it), flies nice, land nice and feels nice.
Good job man !
(looks more like a 4th gen plane in the handling but that's just me being an ass, love it !)
Almost looks like a naval F-20. Nice.
@WinsWings
Thanks 😎
@SkyJayTheFirst true
@SonsoftheMoth awesome. lol, this makes my life easier and less itchy. ha ha - It was a great build by the way -
@SkyJayTheFirst @WinsWings
I made a mistake in writing the description field. The correct name is 3rd generation.
@WinsWings pretty sure the F-100 Super Sabre is also 2nd gen.
I have the same feeling as @SkyJayTheFirst. Everything is good except you mentioned "2nd Generation," which looks like 3rd or 4th Gen. The second generation will be like MiG21, Su-7, and Su-9 era, quite old.
@SonsoftheMoth That is about as 2nd Gen as an F-16. Your plane looks way too advanced to even be considered 3rd Gen, let alone 2nd!
Osea les go
Amazing build, love the addition of the different armaments / variants with part counts. Exactly what I plan to do with my builds going forward.
I love the fact that Ace Combat is present in all virtual aviation games
