WWII jet fighter challenge

3,972 YuYsukablyat  one month ago

Okay, finally, results (ну, как результаты, кто участвовал в моих прошлых "челленджах" знает, в чем прикол):

Something very similar to the He 162 by Ktoto14 – it's actually close to the original, and the two-color scheme is nicely done

P-100A Dodo by Conjure76 – it turned out realistically, my compliments, seriously, although it's a bit heavy (nearly 500 parts)


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!

    If I use 2 engines can I put them at 0.2 each? And can it be a fictional plane?

    @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
