@TrislandianAlliance Mig-21 Fishbed, Mig-25 Foxbat Neither plane is supermaneuverable, but I assume you're talking about the Fishbed because the Foxbat is severely G-limited by its stainless steel construction and higher wing loading. The Fishbeds light weight and delta wing cause it to bleed off speed at an alarming rate when it pitches up sharply.
@SpiritusRaptor Wow, thanks man. I've always been a big fan of your builds on here. I was going to include a tutorial for using the missiles but my MSpaint skills aren't up to the task. The key is to fly in a direction where you know where you're headed, so you don't get lost. Don't fly directly towards the target, try to offset your heading by 30 degrees or so and use the missiles to correct the difference, that way the ship never has a chance to hit you. I've also found its helpful to aim the missile well above the target until the last kilometer or so, that way you can easily adjust your horizontal aim before diving in.
@TrislandianAlliance Yeah, I try to mention that fact as much as possible because (A) the Cold War is fascinating (B) the Soviets made amazing aircraft and (C) some of the nicknames are hilarious. FROGFOOT!
@JustDatGuy You need 2 wings total. One, where the rudder is supposed to be, and then a second one like this. OH! I forgot to mention, it helps a lot if the red Center of Mass is kept ahead of the keel-fin.
I can't do any of the in-game stuff (I'm at work) but I can tell you that you need to hide a downward facing wing at the bottom of the very center of your ship to keep it from Tokyo Drifting.
@asteroidbook345 I modeled the appearance of these missiles after the older Raduga Kh-22 series for that "height of the Cold War" feel. The missiles themselves are a little bit slower than the real thing to ease the process of finding, aiming and hitting g the target, but I made sure to include enough Boom 50's (4 hidden inside each missile) to simulate the damage of a real non-nuclear Kh-22 warhead. A single hit should be enough to destroy just about anything.
@TrislandianAlliance The super powers did not always formally announce new military equipment, often waiting years to even acknowledge the very existence of some weapons or aircraft. As a result, NATO forces used a system of euphemisms for Soviet-aligned aircraft so that they could easily be identified. Fighters were given F names, bombers B names, helicopters H, etc. You can learn more HERE.
I think @jamesPLANESii is right. The game doesn't handle large fuselage parts well. You may need to ask some of the experienced ship guys how they work around this
@ACEPILOT109 I'm not so sure about that. They flew hundreds of sorties with the F-14 during the Iran-Iraq War and built up an excellent record at that time, surely that couldn't have been accomplished with no technicians. As time goes by, Iran replaces systems that can't be repaired with locally developed tech. They're probably not as potent as the F-14 D model, but they claim to have about 40 planes and 24 are said to be operational.
@asteroidbook345 They're all A-models, from the late 70's. They may have updated some of the equipment with domestic gear, it's hard to say but they've certainly seen a bit of combat.
@Strikefighter04 Chessie became CSX back in the 1990's, before that it was the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O), one of the oldest thoroughfares in America.
Hey, CSX passes about 5 feet from my job every couple hours all day long! I like their old 'Chessie' livery with the kitten logo, but the new look is quite sharp too.
I see you got a Norfolk Southern as well, my friend used to work for them. Hard work but it paid well.
Pitch issues usually come in two flavors. Either the COL and COM are too far apart or you pitch control surfaces are too small.
So, check to see where the red ball and yellow ball are, and reduce the weight of the nose if they look far apart. Or, make bigger elevators (the flappy bits that handle pitch). I would like to point out that there are no fast jets that have elevators IRL, instead the entire tail rotates.
I've seen 'Enola Gay' up close and I was surprised how cramped the pilot stations looked. A B-29 is by no means a small plane, but it's kind of shocking how far we've come since this was the most advanced thing in the air.
There were versions of the B-25 and A-26 that sported more than 12 forward firing Brownings, in addition to turret guns but the Russians experimented with THIS MONSTROSITY that featured 88 downward firing submachine guns.
PC users have access to a mod (in the mods section of this website) that allows them to upload builds using the last 3 in game screenshots.

@CRJ900Pilot Thanks, also, you're right,
PZL M15 "Belphegor"
@shipster Thank you
@Maherhussam I build slowwwwwly. Also, I quit and came back.
@Maiqu Good luck! I'm looking forward to seeing what you make next.
@ChisP lol, yeah. Kinda looks like an academy awards speech.
@BogdanX Thanks Bogdan. I don't know if you remember, but you helped a lot early on when I was building this.
I love your attention to detail, little things like the boat tied up in the stern really bring it to life.
Thanks @Trainzo I spent way too much time on this one, so it's a big relief you guys like it
@MAHADI FK? You mean the Funky Trees?

@ACEPILOT109 Thanks!
Hey, nice plane!
The pie is endless
I'll probably build such a plane sooner or later, but it may take a month or two.

Which is funny cause neither one is IRIAF, and they're the only ones who actually fly them.
I love hypnoplanes
You should probably make the PZL M15 "Belphegor"

@Gbhole Absolutely. If you have any more questions, @ me here in the comments and I'll do my best. Good luck!
@asteroidbook345 Thanks
@AircraftoftheRedStar Thank you very much
Yay, I love a good hypnoplane!
@Thecatbaron I am amazed you squeezed so much detail out of less than 1000 parts. She looks so pretty.
What's the part count on this juggernaut?

I want to see thoughtful creations that display just how much the builder cared about what he was building.
@IngenerMakogon2007 Suit yourself, bud
If you use XML to scale up the Interceptor missile, it looks pretty similar to the SA-2 Guideline and it does the job pretty well.
@MarinoYeet I agree.
I've seen 'Enola Gay' up close and I was surprised how cramped the pilot stations looked. A B-29 is by no means a small plane, but it's kind of shocking how far we've come since this was the most advanced thing in the air.
Perhaps they could join forces or something.
