@ThomasRoderick Unfortunately not, Dieswen (Germany) didn't really have a good footing in air dominance until the tail end of the war, The closest would be Lucas Steinhäuser, who only had 35 aircraft kills before he was shot down, however, he piloted a captured NADF Valkyrie
@BMilan definitely taking that into consideration for my next build! Thank you for the input as that helps make the vehicle more player friendly, and I plan on releasing a whole history of this alternate world soon! Again, thank you.

The challenge has officially concluded with the judging of the aircraft: the results are here
Handling, stability, agility: 8/10 - the aircraft handles very well, however when the wings are swept in, there is little to no mobility with the aircraft, and even with trim as high as it can, the Peace Walker XB-75 still nose dives to where its a constant fight with the aircraft, although, this may be pilot error, please feel free to correct me on this.
Realistic model and behavior: 8/10 - aside from the very unresponsive controls when ag7 is in motion, the bomber acts like a bomber should, the design seems very plausable and makes me sad something like this doesn't exist.
Details, paint and other: 9.5/10 - almost everything about this plane is perfect, the paneling, the markings... although, the very reflective white(which would be super noticable) and the lack of roundels do unfortunate take a tiny toll on the crafts overall score.
Build quality: 11/10 - amazing design, and impressive output, I have to say this aircraft was definetly well thought out and executed nicely. and extra point has been added due to the addition of a functioning cockpit view.
Personal impression: 10/10 -this was a very nice and unique aircraft, I was intrigued with its design and was very pleased with how it operated.
Description: 9.5/10 - A very nicely done history, however abeit a little short.
Handling, stability, agility: 9/10 - handles very nicely and good stability, however the aircraft rolls a little too well in my opinion.
Realistic model and behavior: 7/10 - The aircraft has a weight displacement issue when all its muntions are depleted, making it rather difficult to control, otherwise the VX-4 Shadow responds very well.
Details, paint and other: 10/10 - very nicely done with the lights, folds, vents and control panels, although there isn't much in terms of paneling, I can overlook it with how well everything else is.
Build quality: 9/10 - the Aircraft looks amazing, is super smooth and rounded, however my only gripe is from the stability issue that doesn't give this a solid 10.
Personal impression: 10/10 - the aircraft was well worth the wait, the design is very nice, its reminds me of a mix between a B-2 and a Myasishchev M-50.
Description: 10/10 - a very nicely detailed description of the aircraft, a good history, and added screenshots make it very desirable.
Handling, stability, agility: 4/10 - it's very back heavy and unstable, rolling causis a lot of tremors in the aircraft and stalling issues.
Realistic model and behavior: 3/10 - the B-49 actually has trouble flying in general, and flight behavior is very unruly.
Details, paint and other: 2/10 - very bare green with no detailing.
Build quality: 6/10 - it's not bad for just using block parts. however...
Personal impression: 4/10 - the aircraft just seemed... subpar due to the issues with said aircraft, I feel if it was an attack aircraft with upgrades it could have done much better.
Description: 5/10 - there's a little bit of history, however that same history pegs it as pre cold war, which was the earliest for the challenge, which docks a point.
Handling, stability, agility: 8/10 - handles very nicely, however it rolls too well for a large bomber. it's modest speed actually works well with its pitch though.
Realistic model and behavior: 6/10 - one main issue is the wings tend to try and bend, on top of that, the plane seems a little too blocky to be something that can be reasonably used.
Details, paint and other: 2/10 - it seems a little barren when it comes to detail.
Build quality: 4/10 - very clunky, the bomb bay is partially there, but nothing to guard the bombs, the aircraft seems to be high in drag.
Personal impression: 7/10 - aside from all the issues this plane has, it was actually fun to fly, the bomb dispersial was a neat trick, however I had to ditch the plane as it made it to its target but not back due to fuel issues.
Description: 2/10 - no real history of the aircraft, just basic what it does.
@JohnnyBoythePilot Thank you! I was really happy how this one came out, it was just initially a silly little project I was tinkering with, but I was really happy how it came out.
@ThomasRoderick vaguely based off of it, it's mainly an old design of mine I remastered yet never uploaded here, initially it was more inspired by the Do-217 line.
@ThomasRoderick based off it, sorry for the delay, been working on moving.
+1Ah yes, the bane of all non Russian Tank players.
+1@GrizzlitnCFSP thank you 🙂
+1@GrizzlitnCFSP you have a great one as well! I'm happy to hear you enjoy my works :)
+1Absolutely phenomenal work here.
+1One of my favorites right there, shame we never got even a mockup frame of one.
+1@Lavi Thank you! I appreciate that :)
+1GG
+1@KerlonceauxIndustries Sorry :(

+1@Mustang51 Thanks, I'm really happy with how it came out :)
+1@jamesPLANESii Thank you!, that's very peculiar because when I fly it, it's exceptionally stable, are you flying on high physics?
+1@Mustang51 I'll be sure to do that from here on out with future aircraft 🙂
+1@KerlonceauxIndustries @SimpleBoii Thank you!
+1Looks fantastic!
+1@toxicgamer88 Using a mod called designersuite. Othawne did all the work on the image though.
@goboygo1 Thanks! and yeah, it's not exactly 100% a Catalina, that's why she's named differently.
+1@FairFireFight Thank you!
+1@ThomasRoderick I'll actually get to making a massive post about said things.
+1@ThomasRoderick more closely the MiG-29 fulcrum
+1@ThomasRoderick initially inspired by it mixed in some Coranado and my own creative liberty.
+1@LotterCrafts Yep, only the best for the Pelican lmao
+1@Gameboi14 Thank you!
+1@LotterCrafts Fish Sticks
@NicePlanes
+1@BoganBoganTheMan
@KerlonceauxIndustries
@Freerider2142 @Hyattorama Thank you so much!
+1@ThomasRoderick it was actually heavily inspired by the polish LWS-6
+1Waiting to see the next part of qualifiers. That was enjoyable to watch
+1@EchoWhiskey11 Thank you for setting up the competition so I could design this!
+1@EchoWhiskey11 Alright sweet, thanks!
+1Question, is a VTOL engine allowed purely for exhaust design? It has 0 thrust. also, does No XML mods go for decals too?
+1lemme know when this is done, it looks great
+1This is a beauty,
+1@BMilan took your advice on the changes, I like it much better now, thank you!
+1@BMilan definitely taking that into consideration for my next build! Thank you for the input as that helps make the vehicle more player friendly, and I plan on releasing a whole history of this alternate world soon! Again, thank you.

+1@Shootingstar07 absolutely!
+1@Heihachi No problem! It's a very nice aircraft!
+1@JohnnyBoythePilot Thank you! I was really happy how this one came out, it was just initially a silly little project I was tinkering with, but I was really happy how it came out.
+1@AndrewGarrison can we please get another race soon?
+1Absolutely fantastic work! One of my all time favorite biplanes and you nailed it perfectly!
+1@JohnnyBoythePilot Eventually they're all going into a War Thunder/Ace Combat-esque game. So it's just building the world for everyone really.
+1@GhostHTX no problem:) take your time.
+1@ThomasRoderick Essentially yes, I plan on having a full history of this AU soon.
+1@ThomasRoderick that's where I got the basic design inspiration, but I had to freehand sketch the blueprints and I got this :)
+1@ThomasRoderick vaguely based off of it, it's mainly an old design of mine I remastered yet never uploaded here, initially it was more inspired by the Do-217 line.
+1@ThomasRoderick It is a single engine build into the fusalage.
+1Nicely done, but how do you disable movement? Like, how did you manage to do that?
