Rewards will be dealt with this week. And I believe the Top Gun awards finally got dealt with, sorry about the delay. Must have a few wires loose upstairs... bzzt ah, fixed.
LOOKS: This thing looks as though Skynet had WAAY too much time on their hands. 9/10
HANDLING: Not bad for something billboarded as a bomber. Handling is quite sluggish above 700mph for me. Also, Hover Mode is seriously sketchy. 14/20.
SURVIVABILITY: High speed, strong armor, decent agility and C/Meas... that normally does the trick. Nice Anti Tailgater cannon underneath too. 8/10.
FUNCTIONALITY: Its basic frame lacks any real quirks, however its Twin Plasma turret system, bombsight (seriously, have you got John Wick as the bomb aimer?!) and Hover System are awesome. 9/10.
WEAPONS DELIVERY: Seriously easy. Point and Click. A drunk could probably still hit the target with this. At Mach 2. 50/50
TOTAL:90/100
One of only two pure-bred bombers entered, this thing is in its own way as awesome as the Vendetta. Nice job.
LOOKS: Looks like a Foxbat and a Flanker procreated. Awesome. 8/10.
HANDLING: Very comfortable. Even moreso less its Apocalypse Cradle. Nice touch giving it canardettes for additional pitch authority. 16/20.
SURVIVABILITY: It's fast and agile, and packs AMRAAMS for self defence. However, a lack of cannon of C/Meas could easily spell doom for this aircraft in a live battle zone. 7/10
FUNCTIONALITY: Nice attempt at a bombsight and a very effective parachute-retarded payload. Still, it feels like it's lacking something. Also, what's with the VTOL bar that does nothing? 6/10.
WEAPONS DELIVERY: With some practice, this aircraft is an incredible fighter-bomber. However, miss with the payload and you have to go back and rearm. Still, it does the job. 45/50
TOTAL: 82/100
Nicely designed, and functions like I'd expect an aircraft of this type and appearance to do so.
LOOKS: Like something the Black Knights should be chasing around Californian airspace circa 1997. 8/10.
HANDLING: Thrust vectoring is a rare feature and undoubtedly helps, but the airframe's insane speed negates a lot of the advantages. 12/20.
SURVIVABILITY: Its speed will allow it to simply outrun most SAMs and Interceptors, coupled with C/Meas will make this- thing/UFO- almost unstoppable. 9/10.
FUNCTIONALITY: Beyond standard flight controls and the wings modded with VTOL to create canard flaps, nothing extraordinary to report. 4/10.
WEAPONS DELIVERY: Ludicrous, and I mean LUDICROUS levels of firepower. Are 72 Inferno AGMs really necessary? 46/50.
TOTAL: 79/100
A few quirky features separate this from most entries, however I think it'd be more at home in an OP Planes Competition. It achieves the aim, however.
@Cipher Alright and i did? Oh bollox. I'll see to that when I've chance and hopefully before this time next week. Assuming steam doesn't break my SP like it did NTW...
Not a bad first aircraft to make from fuselage blocks. Like I said, it's all about experimenting. Play with it until you get something that looks nice ;)
@Destroyer5713 not a problem. I've decided to Nick the front of an engine as a subassembly, so I can see how it all goes together.
Thinking of making a Silverplate B-29 using it. Look it up if you've never heard of it ;)
HANDLING Could put some of the fighter-type entries to shame, although I find the size of the elevators can lead to accidental loss of control if too sharp a turn is attempted. 14/20.
SURVIVABILITY An aircraft this size will always look like a small town on radar, but its manoeuvrability coupled with face-melting speed and acceleration, C/Meas and an Anti-Tailgater System should see this thing through. 8/10.
FUNCTIONALITY: Bomb bay is nicely functional, as is the gear. Refuelling probe seems to go down instead of up though. 8/10.
WEAPONS DELIVERY: I'm terrible at level bombing, but even I managed to land a few hits albeit at somewhat low altitude. Perhaps reduce firingDelay on the bombs so that they can carpet-bomb? 42/50.
TOTAL: 81/100.
Out-blimmin-standing for an aircraft this big.
@orendel I recently had to explain to some idiot on instagram that the attack on Dresden was technically a War Crime on the part of the Allies. I'm sorry to hear it and I hate the fact that my country did that to yours.
The father of one of the best- if not THE best- prop fighter of the war. Beautiful build...
This is more complex and nicer looking than most of my aircraft builds! Noice!
Nice uprate from the predecessor, looks like something that the B-29s didn't really enjoy meeting over Korea ;)
Deadline?
Now all we need is a few Fagots (MiG-15) or Fishbeds (MiG-21) and we're laughing...
If you don't get it, go watch Forrest Gump.
@ThunderscreechEngineering
@BACconcordepilot
Looking at you guys -.- XD

ENTRIES HAVE ALL BEEN ASSESSED!
WE HAVE... (ah. nuts...) A TIE!
@GhostHTX and @Reaper9 both scored 90/100.

Is this one to be assessed?

@Tang0five SAAB have always been magical wizards of aircraft. All aircraft are able to fly from Bas 60 and Bas 90 roads too.
Nice looking build, will upvote after my cooldown
The nostalgia factor on this.
THUNDERBIRDS
CAPTAIN SCARLET
GERRY ANDERSON FTW
Today is the final day for entries. Anything submitted after 2359 GMT today WILL NOT BE COUNTED!
That description is pretty hilarious. Especially the bit explaining their use as theme park attractions XD
Welp, I'm gonna get slaughtered no matter which category I enter. Awesome build though @GhostHTX
@Cipher Alright and i did? Oh bollox. I'll see to that when I've chance and hopefully before this time next week. Assuming steam doesn't break my SP like it did NTW...
Ohka, meaning "cherry blossom".
Later renamed by the USA to the Japanese word for "Crazy" XD
DEMOCRACY ENGAGED
Using Fireweapons to release the bombs?! Me want
Thankoo! @diegoavion84
@Texasfam04 np, a little Whispering Democracy never hurt anyone. Except its recipient.
Oh yeah, the Brize Express!

I'd recommend giving your future designs a description of some kind and perhaps another angle.
Other than that, nice build.
@Bossboy666657 it's child's play once you get the hang of it. Experiment a little and you should figure it out ;)
Aka scourge of evey sodding British and American plane in WT
I hate the moskito. I hate it more than anything else. It can outfly a Jug or a spit in WT 😠
No can do. Just spent all this time trying to fix it. Pitches completely uncontrollably, either going into uncontrolled loops or bunts.
@Vuki11 okay, I'll take a look on my phone and see what I can do. ItIt'll only be tested and proved on Low Physics though.
What fixes does it need? I can't work without specifics.
That was fast @Carsong1017 ! Thanks!
Shame that is was cancelled, looks awesome.
Wow. Niiiiiice
As soon as I saw the name PT109 I knew it had to be John's boat. Outstanding replica.
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L.
Now all its missing are the 4 7.62 machine guns and a tendency to flip over on the shallowest corner ;p
Lovely build tho.
@Apfelsaft In which case, Ilyushin Il-87 'Albatros' perhaps?
Is it meant to be a Russian-type or American-type aircraft?
LOOKS Like a bloody bruiser of a V-Bomber. 9/10.

@Alien Yeah, it had literally just appeared in my feed too lol
It's somewhat similar in design to the Vindicator you built some time ago. Still, lovely looking. Will test when I get chance.
This looks an awful lot nicer than my entry. I'll test it vs mine now tho
@Scottydoestuff gotcha.
@orendel I recently had to explain to some idiot on instagram that the attack on Dresden was technically a War Crime on the part of the Allies. I'm sorry to hear it and I hate the fact that my country did that to yours.
My sincerest apologies...
@Awsomur Not a problem. Note the name of the entry, it's the name of a (less well-known) British Polar explorer.
Why build it?
'Cause Murica
F* Yea!
Nice build but ugh I hate that paperweight. Britain shoulda made s better Barrier imho.
Still, you got the sleek lines and the curves just right. Spot on.
