Alright let me give you some more history. I already talked about this on Bogdans Corsair, but let me go into more depth. Obviously the average person who knows anything about Naval Aviation would say that the Seafire was the primary British naval fighter of WW2, this however is quite wrong. You see as far back as 1940, the British purchased American aircraft, such as the F4F Wildcat, which was called the Marlet in British service. Obviously the Wildcat, which was not a bad fighter, was getting replaced with newer models. The Royal Navy took great interest in the Corsair, and for much of 1943, FAA (Fleet Air Arm) pilots were training in the United States. Now most of you know about the Tirpitz, which was hiding in Norway. The British deployed a large carrier task force, to attack the Tirpitz, with little success. The Corsairs and Hellcats, being the most advanced naval aircraft that the allies had (most advanced of their type in the world) escorted these bombers, however they did not encounter any enemy fighters. Now it is worth noting, that the reason the Corsair served on Carriers in the RN before the USN, was because it was in fact the British that found how to fix the Corsairs landing problems, however in later models the change in canopy solved this. Now obviously the Pacific was the main naval war, so only a few escort carriers with F4Fs (Marlet) were left off of Norway. However it was here that one of the most interesting Air to Air combats of the war took place. In March of 1945, Marlets engaged Bf-109s over Norway, shooting down four with out taking any losses. Despite being out classes in the Pacific, the Wildcat still held its own in Europe (it should be noted that the quality of German pilots had only decreased to this point of the war). Now back to the Pacific. In late 1944, the British and their carriers carried out a series of raids on Japanese positions in Sumatra (mainly on oil plants). The FAA Corsairs shoot down several Japanese aircraft including the venerable Zero, proving that Corsair and Hellcat were the best naval fighters. Corsairs, and hellcats, served all the way to the end of the war, with many even flying raids over Japan. It was in one such raid that a Victoria cross was awarded. Robert Hampton "Hammy" Gray was a Commenwealth (Canadian) Naval Aviator. While attacking enemy shipping, his aircraft was badly damaged. However Gray pushed the attack, and managed the drop his bombs despite heavy AA. His aircra
I grinded super hard for the first year and reached Cadet Staff Sergeant, but to my parents, Boy Scouts takes priority, since I guess the recognition for Eagle Scout is really important, but I will probably do CAP again when I get eagle@Wallaby
And a ton of XML stuff, also not sure if it was in when you played, but the USS Beast got a huge update, now it has a catapult, working elevators and it also has arresting gear, in turn, there are carrier landing hooks. Also there are some new islands, and there is a WW2 destroyer in the game, near Karbala (Tropical Island with volcano) there is a convoy, and a WW2 Carrier (USS Tiny) with destroyers
Because fictional planes, are not quite from the battle of Midway. Perhaps you could grade people on how their aircraft compare to actual aircraft in the battle of Midway (if fictional)
So it says Battle of Midway, and so far almost everything is fictional, could you please add some boundaries, so I can get a better idea of what to do?
I wonder what this kid must me thinking, like he doesn’t even comment, and watches his “German Corsair” just gain more and more upvotes, quite entertaining though, and it goes to show the fun that the SP community brings.
Alright with regards to why they would let us know about something being stolen, there is something in the US, called freedom of information, however I would agree that the main reason for this release of information, would be to build up hate against your country. And I am not saying that the J-20 itself is stolen, infact it is a beautiful aircraft with unique elements such as the wings, engine, etc. However it is a proven fact, that certain parts of the aircraft, have been stolen from western nations. Now I am not trying to start a debate, but China has done questionable things, and so has America. Every country does things that scrutinizes their reputations, for example look at the US and involvement in the Middle East, or China and the South China Sea. That is just how the world works. @AustinHuang66688
With regards to Shooting and Austin about stealing: Now I am not trying to be political, but there is plenty of evidence that China stole design aspects of many aircraft. For example, although the majority of Air craft are produced with a license, there are aircraft, that have been reverse engineered. With regards to the home grown aircraft, sibNIA, participated in the J-10 project, and they confirmed that it was more or less a version of the Iserali Lavi, which incorporated many foreign designs. It is also a known fact, that China has stolen documents with regards to the F-22 and F-35 (projects). Now I will have you know, that this argument, started over a comment I made on this aircraft, which is a fine one I must say. There is no point in arguing, the airplane is done, none of this is simple planes related. Also Austin, stop tagging me so many times, for one thing, put it in one message.
So the nose cockpit, wings, and engines resemble that of a Eurofighter, and so do the air brakes. Not to mention that it literally has a meteor missile on it. @What158522
The reason I said that is because many of the aircrafts main parts resemble that of a Eurofighter, I also mentioned that I could see inspiration from many aircraft. And the reason said stole, is because it is a known fact that China has stolen military planes from the west. @AustinHuang66688

This occurred to me the other day, it’s a weird glitch, yes
I feel as if they are two different things entirely, anyway, great build @AWESOMENESS360
Who would win? Arsenal bird, or this?
Which plane is in the Ravenfield mod?@BlackhattAircraft
I grinded super hard for the first year and reached Cadet Staff Sergeant, but to my parents, Boy Scouts takes priority, since I guess the recognition for Eagle Scout is really important, but I will probably do CAP again when I get eagle@Wallaby
It’s not working for me either
About a year and an half , although my activity is dropping @Wallaby
Lmao does Civil Air Patrol count as military?
https://www.simpleplanes.com/Forums/View/1108688/New-Moderator @Strikefighter04
I will take a look@Rovergrow
Well he pinged me on a build maybe a week and a half ago@Strikefighter04
If your going to make a Midway set, but want to use the SBD and TBF, do a Carrier like the Essex class, the Yorktown class, etc.
Is this homemade?
I made a submission, its in my profile @Eiro
I just stumbled upon this, so let me give you a brief update on what has been added.
Weapons: Cruise Missile (Cleaver), Torpedo, Flares/Chaff, Cannons
Engines: Car Engines, Helicopter shat
Wheels: Car wheels
And a ton of XML stuff, also not sure if it was in when you played, but the USS Beast got a huge update, now it has a catapult, working elevators and it also has arresting gear, in turn, there are carrier landing hooks. Also there are some new islands, and there is a WW2 destroyer in the game, near Karbala (Tropical Island with volcano) there is a convoy, and a WW2 Carrier (USS Tiny) with destroyers
Probably a lot more I don’t remember

Lmao I thought the tank was included
Doesn't work on Mac

Nice Hornet, honestly though, rounded looks Spanish, but since Spain has the Hornet, I guess it makes it better
Alright @LucasNicky
There were not, but I have a story that COULD make sense, after all it’s supposed to all be fictional now. @MangoBuilds
I will join in as well, but with a aircraft not of American or Japanese nationality (You will see)
Thanks it helps us figure out what we can make@Eiro
+1So you have a fictional nation I assume?@BubbleLukasie
Because fictional planes, are not quite from the battle of Midway. Perhaps you could grade people on how their aircraft compare to actual aircraft in the battle of Midway (if fictional)
+1So it says Battle of Midway, and so far almost everything is fictional, could you please add some boundaries, so I can get a better idea of what to do?
I am assuming that the operator of the fighter is fictional, as there is no Air Force wielding the F-18 that contains the letter B in its acronym.
A description would be nice
Where did the comments go?
I have been working on a project of my own, but I can’t seem to get the air frame right.@MyMessage
You haven’t been on the website in a while @MyMessage
And add tags
Might wanna make a description.
Thanks! @Axartar
Well that’s possible, but do you have any tips for making camouflage on the Aircraft?@Yourcrush
@Yourcrush Any tips...?

It’s a Chinese Eurofighter, damn they stole one again! (Nice plane by the way, I can see inspiration from many notable aircraft, including the J-10)
Not bad, it isn’t too functional though.
