Hello, my dearest dears! Well, three days of October have already passed, the fourth is starting, and I'm only now posting a new challenge (when will I ever stop calling them that?).
So, alright, what the hell is it even about? I think the name makes everything clear, but I'll repeat myself: you'll need to build an early jet fighter, or a multirole aircraft, whatever. The time period is 1944-1947, meaning WWII and the first couple of years after it. Rough benchmarks are the Me 262, P.1101, Gloster Meteor, De Havilland Vampire, P-80 Shooting Star, Yak-15, MiG-9, or, if someone is completely unhinged and wants to show off – flying wings like the Ho 229, or other insane Third Reich projects.
The Rules:
The most important thing: the thrust of a single engine must not exceed 2000 kgf (20000 N, and the best option will be the Blasto J50 engine with the thrust set to 0.4 via XML; I've provided it).
The part count should be approximately up to 350. The limit isn't strict, it's just a guideline for you.
To achieve high maximum speeds, you can modify the drag of parts. Without this, I doubt you'll manage to hit speeds of 800-900 km/h in this game with such low thrust-to-weight ratios. But let's not go crazy there, the aircraft must be subsonic!
A striving for realism is welcome: full cockpits and the use of cannons rather than just guns. And of course, bombs and unguided rockets are allowed, but absolutely no guided missiles! (Although, if someone really, really wants to, fine, you can include a couple. Germany had the X-4, which was, generally speaking, never used in combat, but we'll overlook that fact)
The deadline... well, let's go with my classic: October 25, 2025 (just an clarification, obviously).
Well, what can I say? Good luck to you all, and all that... Maybe I'll finally gather the strength and build something myself, but I've been feeling weird for like two weeks. Alright, bye-bye! Go create, gentlemen comrades!

@YuYsukablyat
Hmmm
Idk I'll think
@KorKaiorWhatever doesn't matter
Real or fictional?
@MetallicBeef6572 top limit
@Moonhead2131 +
@YuYsukablyat Is the 350 part count a limit or a minimum?
@Aero72 👍
If I use 2 engines can I put them at 0.2 each? And can it be a fictional plane?
I’m gonna make a vampire
More people need to see this:
@Korkaiorwhatever
@MetallicBeef6572
@Schmoovebrain
@SHIMO 👍
i think i will do the p.1101
@YuYsukablyat ok
@YourAverageMV400AWACS Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about them
Well, if someone wants, then let there be missiles, but personally, I'd rather have just cannons
why can’t we have missiles when the X-4 german missile is ww2-early cold war era
