You can have an upvote from me but I HATE those things with a passion. Especially Northern's Class 156 and 158 fleet. And the dreaded Pacer, when it comes out to haunt the lines again...
@Shootingstar07 the JASDF bought- or were given- a fair number of Sabres to help defend against their neighbours China, the USSR and North Korea should the need have arisen.
I tried making one of these during the Beta but made a hash of it, great to see you've made an awesome job! May well make a derivative from this as an E-2C Hawkeye! Great work!
@Jim1the1Squid Yeah, I suppose so. Even then, Escort Carriers still had at least one cable on account of the aircraft they were launching, typically F4F Wildcats/Martlets, or Sea Hurricanes, occasionally even Seafires in the case of Fleet Air Arm operations.
I suppose it might be added. If not, I can live without it I guess :)
@SimpleEric the Mil Mi-26 'Halo' has 8 blades on its main rotor head if memory serves. And it only just fits into the maximum rotor diameter allowed without XMLing it.
@Bacondoggie I think it could use a tad less. The stop is rather too violent and often sees some of my designs either pitch over and destroy a wing or suffer a prop strike. A slightly softened arrestor response would be suited I think.
...Moreover, is it a bad thing that I immediately tried making a Mi-26 Halo with full size and full-spec rotors? It didn't seem to like me much. Nor was it really controllable...
@DS97 I've tried them and they work fine on the mains as singles.
For some reason having a double on the nose leg causes a lot of jittering and if you come in even slightly too nose-heavy it snaps the leg and blows the plane up. Any idea why?
I always have issues making custom gear (a build of mine based on the Foxbat is currently using gear assemblies"borrowed" from one of mikoyanster's builds...)
Any advice on how to make em well? I'm on mobile btw.
@Smilohypo probably not exactly human. Not a bad build all in all, though I'd maybe have had gunnery on the pitch/roll axes for easier traverse. Other than that it was pretty damned good.
@Tang0five WHAT? That's news to me! I knew they bought a pair of T42s (only one of which now kinda works, the other is sat capsized in dock) but a Vulcan?!
@CRJ900Pilot Been working on it for a few weeks, busy life due to work. I was going to make a cockpit for it as well but that proved too fiddly for me to manage with the time I had available.
Working on a few more images anyways.
ALL FRUIT BAT SCUM MUST DIE!
@Chingonito very well, nice job anyways :)
Decent replica, though personally I think the wingspan is a tad long and the outer chord could maybe use reducing. Otherwise pretty neat!

@Tang0five I managed to get it somewhat working in the end through trial, error and swearing.
It doesn't like Low Physics though. As I have discovered to my horror...
My jaw just clanged through the floor! I've wanted to see or build one of these on here FOREVER! It looks Beautiful!
Would you have any objections with me taking her and respraying her in RAF Rescue Yellow?
@Shootingstar07 the JASDF bought- or were given- a fair number of Sabres to help defend against their neighbours China, the USSR and North Korea should the need have arisen.
What maniac gives a Daimler RP-3s??
At any rate, awesome replica.
@metallicplanes I tend to prefer hiding on a cliffside and blindsiding them with my Puma. Soo satisfying!

Bane of my life on War Thunder.
Nice work making it, especially the mantlet area. God I hate fighting these...
@TheFantasticTyphoon thank you!
I love how we're all making Vietnam-era jets. Such beautiful beasts, and this is absolutely gorgeous to behold. Nice work!
@ColonelStriker thank you!
@SakuraSaku Thanks!
@WIZARD2017 thank you!
@Strikefighter04 Great to hear it mate, thanks for the upvote!
PSA
I've just realised that I forgot to apply a limiter to the Speedbrake. It can move fully in BOTH directions. My apologies.
@ProcessedPlAnEs Thankoo!
@notaleopard cheers mate, barely finished putting the post up!
Weapons bogie to follow!

I am almost drooling right now... Busy cleaning up my phone storage (again) so I can fit the Beta on. CANNOT. WAIT. FOR. THIS!
@redbear89
Thankoo! :)
@Tang0five
@mikoyanster
Thank you both very much and sorry for the late reply, my battery (as in me not my phone) was kaput ×_×
@Mikoyanster "borrowed" your Foxbat's main gear legs to use on this as I was having issues with my own design! Thanks, will remember to credit now!
@DS97 Tried disabling, and it made things a lot worse. I've made it manageable now, it'll just have to remain as is. Thanks for the advice though.

It looks very Gerry Anderson to me (e.g. Captain Scarlet). Lovely build mate as always!
If it is mobile friendly I'll happily take part as a test pilot on Low Physics.

Some pretty impressive turret designs there, nicely done!

Oh my god, that is pretty damned cool.
Why am I getting flashbacks to Black Ops' Kowloon mission?
Serbia called, they said their missiles want a chat...
Awesome build though. Absolute stunner.

Nice build, I'd love to make the HS.121 Trident some day (which could have out-competed the 727 had the British government not screwed the lot up)
@Notaleopard if you wish, feel free.

Now there's a Biplane.
Sure they used a couple of these alongside the Lysanders to fly SOE operatives into and out of France.
@greasytortle the colour scheme looks like it belongs anyway, no dramas :) it is beautiful I do say.
@ForeverPie "Superguppies are go!"
@aplayer looks like it. Anti-Tank and Anti-Air if you ask war thunder...
@Jarno62 I did say I'd uprate it. Even co sidered making a STOVL/VTOL variant but that's been shelved for now.
"Do not drop over cities".
Okay, how about forests then? To try and encourage local partisans to move? ;)
@Smilohypo it's a 10-part maximum build. This is what 10 parts creates.
To clarify in case there is any confusion, the propeller engine is NOT XML modified.
I simply flipped it to face the other way and nudged it back to its current position.
