Thanks! This is probably the closest I have gotten so far to what I originally envisioned the Pummeler to be. However, I could not build it to my liking, due to limitations with the game as well as proficiency with XML. Gotta give credit to the HellFireKoder's FineTuner mod. Turns hours of work into minutes. Which is important, since I have a shorter attention span than a goldfish. @EternalDarkness
You see, we realized that the strategic roles of a supersonic heavy bomber can be fulfilled by ballistic and cruise missiles, both of which are much more cost efficient, and the tactical roles of such aircraft can be fulfilled by much cheaper subsonic-capable heavy bombers, such as the B-3D Dominator. As for the role of low-level high-speed precision weapons delivery, an F-8 Cobra fighter-bomber was just as suitable, and was not only cheaper, but capable of fending for themselves if enemy fighters came along. @KerlonceauxIndustries
@KerlonceauxIndustries Us too! And we still use the Pummeler.
You see, the Pummeler is special because unlike modern jet-powered fighter-bombers, it can actually fly slowly without crashing, allowing it to loiter over the target area for a much longer period of time. This means more time spotting targets and makes for more precise attacks.
And precision is very important when you are attacking enemy forces which are a few hundred meters away from friendly forces or civilians.
Although low speed makes it easier to hit, the Pummeler has more than enough armor to compensate. In addition, while it is a single-engine aircraft, it is a radial engine, meaning that it can withstand damage quite well. The air-cooled nature of the engine means it has no vulnerable cooling system, which only takes one bullet to disable. A piston engine can lose several pistons and continue to run, albeit at lower power.
It is also highly resistant to EMP attacks, due to its design. While newer models do have an electronic controlled engine systems and hydraulically-boosted controls, it also retains the original mechanical timing gauges and control rods. The basic instruments (airspeed indicator, altimeter, artificial horizon, and fuel gauge) do not rely on electronic control, although many of the other instruments were moved to an LCD instrument panel and later, heads-up display, which also has information from the basic instruments. Basically, you can't kill this with an EMP.
They don't call it the Guardian Angel for nothing.
@KerlonceauxIndustries Pummeler is one of the best CAS types in the world. Nothing really compares to its legacy and its retention of effectiveness over time.
@RMark1 There is a gap, but not a significant one.
While those in authority positions are certainly paid more, the wage is not much higher than the lowly workers. I should correct my previous statement.
From the medium income, the difference between the first standard deviation of median income is P$75,000, the second standard deviation is $125,000, and the third standard deviation is P$250,000.
Median income is P$225,000.
We recognize that some jobs are more demanding, and thus they get more pay.
Monetary educational, medical, utilities, and even childcare costs are free to the consumer, as they are paid largely through taxes. Said taxes are usually quite invisible, such as import, export, and sales taxes, which are 5%, 2.5%, and 5%, respectively. While there is an income tax, it only applies to those earning above P$225,000. This tax is an exponentially scaled tax from zero to ten percent at P$350,000, to which it begins a logistical growth to twenty percent until P$475,000. Below P$225,000, there is no income tax, although sales taxes are to be paid upon purchase of any product. The seller may place this tax in addition to the subtotal (i.e. price without the tax).
Yes, I have thought this out quite through. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation, Supermini555, I would like to know similar financial statistics about Awwam.
Anyways, do you believe that everyone shall live as equals, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, opinion, occupation, etc?
Remember, even though we may earn less than Awwam on average, know that we have the lowest wealth disparity among any nation, with only a P$75,000 difference between the richest and poorest.
I was thinking of scheming officials and power-hungry generals manipulating the Royal Family in order to put whoever they wanted to have on the throne.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I still stand by my idea that older, larger nations, such as Awwam or Paternia, will eventually crumble and the many territories under its control either gain independence peacefully or violently.
Mostly because it's becoming increasingly difficult to include new members, and the presence of super-states like Awwam and Paternia prevent other nations from rising.
Based on New Zealand, I feel that this process is underway.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I know, but I'm still trying to find a Turkish flag and modify it, and I tend towards historical accuracy on things like this, so black squares we go with.
Plus, it's a lot simpler and will keep the part count down for those who are not members of the PC master race.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I think they used a black square because of Muhammad's black standard, which his armies recaptured Mecca under, I believe.
Yeah. They're all pretty much the same. @PINK
These will be very useful on my next build.
I think I will build my machine off the LK II light tank, as that machine did exist, and became the Swedish m/21, the first tank made in Sweden.
@exosuit Ok.
@YuukaNeko Going real old school here.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Have some. The Turks used them historically.
@CaesiciusPlanes What is WWI without the Maxim?
@exosuit First, remind him that it's not okay to do that. Have a mod tell them that.
If they continue said behavior, then they will feel the might of the banhammer.

Did you notice the guns were actually harmonized? @EternalDarkness
Thanks! @EternalDarkness
Ok @RMark1
@Viper28 Yep.
We decided some stability was necessary for ground attack aircraft, since it would be harder to aim the weapons.
@RMark1 Yes, we are incredibly business-friendly.
And Canada is very close to our markets and consumers. Take over Canada, and you can either send it by rail or truck it in.
@Viper28 does this variant solve lots of problems with the Pummeler?
Awesome!
Hi.
@EternalDarkness I hope this variant of the Pummeler is complex enough for you to do something with and add all the details that you are famous for.
@Liquidfox Ah.
Due to the increased engine power of this aircraft, I may make this one into a floatplane version.
@Liquidfox Next one is going to be the "K" variant, because "J" is taken up by the Japanese Pummeler.
@Mudkip @GoldenEagle @JakeTheDogg
@Viper28 @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation @PINK
Cool but...
Mine are cheaper.
Those aren't Imperial Russia Air Force roundels.
Canada. Or Australia. @RMark1
Yes.
Well, had.

@cowelly It's based off that.
@RMark1 Want to become a province with Paternia?
@MAHADI One of these > Three Camels.
This is way faster than the old Camel. It can swoop down from the sun, pick them off, and fly away before anything can happen.

Update: My Pummeler showing the jets how blowing stuff up on the ground is done
Np! @JMicah4
Great! I can now test my Pummeler attack plane on more than one convoy!
Np! @zap210
Okay. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
I suppose you could leave Awwam and have the EAC rule over Persia. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
lol just asking. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
I will have Canada. @Supermini555
I was thinking of scheming officials and power-hungry generals manipulating the Royal Family in order to put whoever they wanted to have on the throne.
But that works too. @Supermini555

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation NP! Tag the rest of Awwam so they can use this masterpiece if they so wish.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Just made it.
@Booster456 Lol.
If this get's approved, then I'm using the Pummeler prototype.
Because the actual Pummeler has a 2,000hp engine.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I know, but I'm still trying to find a Turkish flag and modify it, and I tend towards historical accuracy on things like this, so black squares we go with.

@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I see. I know some history about Islam, but not very much.
Whenever I have to integrate Islamic characters in my stories, I usually consult my friend David, who is a Sunni Muslim.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I think they used a black square because of Muhammad's black standard, which his armies recaptured Mecca under, I believe.
That seems a bit modern.
Our cleaning rod is a 1/3 length cleaning rod underneath the barrel, and held by a simple leaf spring latch.
You put three together and you get a complete rod. Which shouldn't be an issue if you are in a squad. @PINK
I see. @PINK
