I do NOT consider civil aviation boring. I am speaking from the perspective of the average player on the site. He does not see the difference between a Boeing 737 and an Airbus A320. And if he does not see the difference, he gets bored and goes somewhere else.
@CaptainNoble
The nuance here is that the “engineering marvel” in a fighter jet is clearly visible: it starts to fly faster, maneuver better, carry more missiles, and so on. The “engineering marvel” in civil aviation usually means “Now we save 1% more fuel.” Military and civil aviation have different areas of improvement. Military aviation seeks to push the boundaries of what is possible, while civil aviation seeks optimization for greater efficiency.
This does not make civil aviation less interesting in itself, but for someone who does not delve into the details, it will be less noticeable.
@CaptainNoble
I was exaggerating. Of course, higher education is not necessary, but if a person has not studied the subject specifically, they will not see the differences between most aircraft.
Civil aviation is rather monotonous. You have to be a particularly avid fan of civil aviation to be interested in it after seeing 20 airliners, which only a specialist with a higher education can visually distinguish, all flying at the same speed of 900 km/h and maneuvering at the same slow pace.
Fighters are more interesting in this regard, as they fly faster, maneuver better, and are visually distinguishable. Plus, they have additional activities in the form of dropping bombs on various convoys and launching missiles at airspace violators.
@SPsidearm
I can't guarantee I got all the dimensions exactly right, but by lore it is compatible with Ar-15 buttstocks.
(Also the recoil spring is located in the upper, not in the stock tube as in the Ar-15, which also allows to easily replace the stock with another one).
Brief historical information :
The 2s7 self-propelled artillery unit was adopted into service in 1975 and is equipped with a 203 mm gun. The chassis is based on the T-80 tank with major structural modifications.
I had a period where I “fell off” for more than a year(to be exact, it was almost a year and a half without any major builds). During that time, most of the subscribers really died out like mammoths. So of the active ones, either some very old ones, which by some miracle are still more or less alive, or fresh ones, which appeared recently. So yes, the estimate is about 5-10%
The AK-102 (like the entire 100-series) is basically an export version, which is why it has such an unusual caliber for the Soviet school. This version was intended for export to countries where 5.56 ammunition is more readily available than 5.45 or 7.62. In addition to the shortened 102 version, there were also 101 with standard barrel and 108 with balanced automatic rifle using 5.56. They can be identified by the even straighter magazine than the AK-74.

This RP needs a separate space(like a discord server), a good DM and some experienced players. Then maybe it could be a pretty good thing. Right now it's simply impossible to manage because of the very format of RP on the forums.
It will be especially difficult if you do not have at least 2-3 experienced players (2-3+ years of experience) who can “pull” most of the adequate actions and will serve as models for beginners.
In general, novice players play very poorly, make a huge number of illogical actions, but at the same time are confident that they know the game better than anyone else and the best way to play it.
Without a backbone of good players who, albeit in a rather painful way (on RP), but direct the player in the direction of learning, it will turn out (as it is called in my environment) “Lobster Farm”, in which a bunch of inexperienced players arrange only game degradation, creating a lot of illogical game, considering themselves the bearers of truth, but not developing in the game.
In fact, any reasonably well-designed RP is difficult to manage, as many nuances emerge. To do this, you need to have at least some experience as an RP player, the more the better.
Because of this, it has become a poorly controlled chaos.
In a good way, RP needs a separate space, a set of judges/moderators represented by at least one person, and at least some set of rules by which players can somehow determine the outcome of a conflict of interest.
In fact, Swedish air defense is very sparse compared to the same Soviet air defense, where you can open a list of all the complexes and drown in GRAU ciphers.
The main problem is that Sweden actually has very few of its own SPAA and SAMs. And even less known to the general public. That's why there are so few of them (literally 1 of yours).
A wonderful story about how for a couple of months your only entertainment will be truly incredible stories for military counterintelligence about how you are not enemy saboteurs under cover.
A bit of useless information.

All tests were conducted with automatic propeller pitch control.
It would be interesting to see how the behavior of the engine would change with the use of manual control.

The magic is that the Cessna's engine idles to create thrust, but the brakes on the wheels keep the airplane from moving.

Average medic fighter moment.
I have a lot of unpublished builds piled up, and some users have expressed interest in me posting them.
They are mostly abandoned/‘Forever WIP’/low detailed builds, so don't expect high quality.
Some of the builds were used for RP, so it has ‘Standardised Orthogonal’ as a thumbnail
