@StugnaATGM
Can we please do a challenge involving 4th gen fighters, my personal favorite of your challenges to participate in was the second war challenge (against snowstone) where we got to build jets with missiles.
I know the challenge doesn't have a bomber component to it, but I was already mostly done with this plane by the time I realized this, so sorry for violating the rules.
@SIRCOMMANDER031
Yeah, I was thinking that for the war effort, best to re-use airframes as often as possible so that we don't use up resources building a new plane. I figured that my plane could easily transition to ground attack now that fighters are more advanced than it.
@StugnaATGM
I haven't commented or done much in a while, especially with this challenge, but can you relegate my (only) entry to be a CAS/Ground attack aircraft, as it probably can't match jet fighters that the enemy are now producing.
@NARGII
I'm currently working on a stealth (ish, I'm not an expert on making stealth aircraft or what makes a stealth aircraft stealthy) bomber, though I don't know how long it will take for me to complete and release as I'm in college right now.
@Yourlocalhuman
Do we still have an aircraft carrier in service right now? cause my only aircraft in the challenge so far is carrier based, so it would be a little humiliating if there isn’t a carrier for an aircraft designed to operate off of one.
To all those out there who follow me and upvote my builds, I'm letting you know now that I will be starting College very soon and I don't know how active I will be on the website, or how often I will be playing the game from here on out.
@NARGII
Upload the photos if you want, I personally enjoyed the newsreal type stuff that happened. Plus I probably missed some as I am not able to watch this challenge 24/7.
@NARGII
I'll take the 1 spotlight, and the 10 upvotes. I honestly wasn't expecting to win as I only made two airframes for the challenge (I don't really count the F-17E as it's the same airframe with a different cockpit). Anyways, I really enjoyed being a part of this challenge.
@NARGII
I was wondering if you could retire my original F-17 (the F-17E will remain in service) as it has been in service for 40 years, and is basically at the end of its service life.
Operation Fencer II
Basically the same as the original operation Fencer, only there are more pairs of aircraft involved, 5 pairs of F-17E's and 5 pairs of F-21's. They will once again be enforcing a no fly zone and shoot down anything that comes into the air, provided that the enemy air defenses are fully taken out prior by a squadron of F-21's that will fly in prior to the operation and take out enemy air defenses.
@NARGII Here is an updated variant of the F-17 Hawk fighter. It now has a more advanced avionics package (same package that the F-21 has) to help keep it competitive with newer fighters that the enemy will field.
@NARGII
Operation Eclipse:
2 squadrons of F-21’s, with 4 squadrons of F-17’s in the rear, will enter enemy airspace and achieve air superiority I. The area by shooting down any enemy aircraft that rises to challenge them. The F-21’s will go in first as they are 5th generation and less likely to be detected, so they will establish initial superiority. The F-17’s will follow in behind them to help maintain it. If in the unlikely event the F-21’s are detected early, they will abort and all aircraft will head back to base. If successful, the operation will leave the skies clear for future Operations from others that will limit the capabilities of the enemy.
Note: Ideally this operation will have a higher number of F-21’s but there aren’t quite enough of them as they have just recently entered service.
@NARGII
I'm honestly not sure if I'm going to build another aircraft from the ground up, the two that I made really took a lot of time out of me. I might give an avionics upgrade to the F-17, but other than that, I'll probably be done with new aircraft.
For those wondering on the progress on my 5th generation fighter (I’ll release it at a appropriate time, don’t worry), I’ve got the plane flying, but I need to work on its weapons bays, and it’s cockpit interior (probably won’t be that good to be honest as I don’t know how to do avionics with funky trees)
@StugnaATGM
I look forward to it!

Oh its beautiful!

I’ve been waiting forever, I hope the stream/video happens soon. It’s something I’m looking forward to.
Dammit, we lost.
@StugnaATGM
Oh screw it, send whatever I have to attack ground targets so that hopefully they can’t use nukes.
YOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
+1This is a sick trailer. The plane is awesome by the way.

This is why I wish SimplePlanes had a WWII fleet carrier in the game, rather than just USS Tiny and USS Tiny 2.
I was however able to take off from USS Tiny with my airplane.

@Lifewald
+1Here’s one more upvote to get you to GOLD, this is an amazing plane.
@Bird6369
More like obscenely expensive variant, the F-111 served as an interdictor/tactical bomber in the Air Force.
Lots of unique entries into this challenge, can’t wait to see the livestream/video.
@MrCOPTY
I honestly didn’t think of it like that, I guess the nose looked more like an enlarged F-111 nose than I thought.
Remastered version available now.
@Ren
yeah, that sometimes happens with me.
@Ren
Oh, I didn't know that. I like your sense of humor though.
@Ren
Dammit, I got rickrolled
Also, the players reported for harassment look, to me at least, that they're multiple accounts from the same person.
Maybe we could do something like the Gulf War? I don’t know, it’s just a thought.
Oooh 😮
+1A stealth bomber!

@Eugene14
Ok, I think timezones make it a bit difficult to coordinate, because it's the afternoon for me right now.
@Eugene14
Earlier you mentioned something about wanting to possibly do a operation with @Yourlocalhuman and me, is it still an option?
@Yourlocalhuman
Welp, no point in being scared if it will instantly kill me.
@Yourlocalhuman
should I be scared?
@Eugene14
Yes please!
You can use some of my aircraft for the joint operation.
@JamesG771
Yay, we’ve got more 5th gen fighters!

@NARGII
+1Thank you, air dominance should be ours once again!
Hey ya'll, we've got 5th gen fighters now!
+1@lewishasnoiq
+1The operation seems simple in concept, but might be complicated in execution, good luck.
@Eugene14
+1I’m sure I will like it.
My new fighter just needs its interior and minor details finished.
@Eugene14
+1I understand now, it was probably for looks, btw how’s progress on your plane going?
@Eugene14
Only 4 missiles?
