@Dragoranos actually, you are entirely true on a number of levels, but there are things that are incorrect
.
The Sidewinder missile was in development (first generation infrared, very bad and you needed to hold a lock) and the Korean war tested it. Both sides used basic missiles from ships and planes alike to test them. Like I said in the description, the Korean war was more of a proxy war (albeit being a bloody one) used to test technology, much like the Spanish Civil war was
.
However, you are also correct. The MiG 19 and F-104 were second generation fighters, however, they were not developed until 1954, a year after the Korean was. The Korean war saw early transonic aircraft, like the MiG 17, however, were tested and used, even if in limited numbers during this war, and so your point does stand on that bit, but like on my previous challenge, I make tons of exceptions given you can back them up, and preferably with quality. But this challenge is the prop planes of the Second World War, early Turboprops, 1st generation jets, and very very early 2nd generation aircraft. I allow the Guardian because it is the most realistic to missiles of the time, kinda. If you modify the missiles to be more realistic, I am more than happy to grant extra points if it is more realistic. But yes, you are correct. But this challenge is not for gen 3 aircraft
@Kangy y'know you're right 😂
My brain must've been screwed on wrong today lmao
.
I crammed to write this in an hour and published it thinking it was complete enough for me to edit it later. Gonna fix it now lol
@OwO y'know, that's actually a brilliant point. But I'm just point this out because Jabuticaba has already begun pushing to be a better builder. You have long surpassed being Silver, and I'm trying to help out a silver user who isn't getting attention, whereas you were able to make connections and get a buttload of support from the get-go. You are right, it is about quality. But yours is in interacting with people, and Jabuticaba's is in building planes.
@OwO you're right, what about you?
You get 51 upvotes on a literal toulet namedthe shitter, this dude has never gotten that good of upvotes and is still silver
.
I just wanted him to be seen better, not to cause a whole argument
Upvote 30!! So... it looks like I'm going to run out of upvotes because I have no run out of posts to upvote lol. I'm however going to spotlight some of your builds to get you more recognition and make a forum post for you as reparation because of this. Either way, congrats my dude!!
upvote 20! 15 more to go
dear lordy the cooldown is annoying when it comes to this lol.
.
Your builds are so freaking cool! I wish you got more recognition :/
@WinsWings hey I completely get that! I just finished my challenge, and it is very hard lol. At least you honor those ones! Not many people do that, so it is very appreciated. Your challenge got a lot of recognition, and that's outstanding!!
Updoot 5 out of 35, I need to change classes, but I'll try to get back to it in a little bit lol
Also, you're super underrated! Your planes are dope, my man!
@Michiganstatepolice yeah! It'll probably be a few months though, I'm planning on going by eras, and I have a specific goal for the stealth one, it'll take place in 2043, and I have an actual purpose behind it that I'm interested in seeing...
Okay, so taking everything into account, I suck at Civilian aircraft, and because my next aircraft after this will be my own modern fighter jet that has V/STOL, I think it is the best course of action to build a more modern aircraft. Thank you all!
.
Also, I added the P-50-I model heavy Italian bomber to my to-do list ;p
@GhostHTX thank you so much m8!! I might make the next one for the Korean War ass hinted here... I'm not sure yet. I still have to give out points, but I have to prepare for final tests, so it might be a few days. If I forget, please remind me and I will lol
For the thumbnail?
Because the images are already done through links lol

For the thumbnails that's brilliant tho, because the updates put a black bar over the screenshots in the screenshot mode and I can't For the life of me line it up right lol

+1@Ded okay, I think I'm going to do the EWR 101!
@ConnerTheNerd
@Ded thank you so much m8! I think I'm going to do some research and choose between the two. Would you like me to tag you?
