@Yourlocalhuman
Those are some really cool screenshots, could you by any chance list the aircraft in the screenshots as I want to checkout the other aircraft involved.
It’s been a while since I’ve done an operation, so I might as well do one.
Operation Sea Storm: 1 squadron of F/A-3 (strike variant) Sea Darts from USS Beast and a squadron of F/A-2 Arrows will conduct SEAD operations at Krakabola while 1 squadron of new A-2 Javelins, (following behind at a distance due to faster speed) will act as bombers to destroy ships and infrastructure critical to helping the Snowstone war effort. They will be escorted by 2 squadrons of F/A-3 (Fighter/Interceptor Varian) aircraft.
Note: not all of these aircraft will be from the carrier as some will be stationed at the nearby Wright Isles North Runway. Also, the operation will be suspended if the Wright Isles come under threat with all F/A-3s and F/A-2s being used to defend the island.
@Dracul0Anderson
Might be a little hard for me to think of what to do defensively, since all of my aircraft were created with an offensive scheme in mind, unless you want me to destroy the defenses on krakabola.
@Dragoranos
I’ve been thinking of conducting an operation of my own with my aircraft, but I’m a little unsure about it seeing as other people are doing operations similar to what I had in mind.
Also, don’t try to maneuver much with the wings swung back, it doesn’t work out well, especially when the aircraft is unbalanced after firing one of its cruise missiles.
The A-2 Javelin is now completed and ready for service, hopefully we'll be able to utilize her speed as a way of swiftly attacking ground targets and shipping to hopefully turn the tide of the war back in our favor.
@BeanMaster69
It’s a 4th generation fighter, and the general type of aircraft that should be used (based on the description) is 3rd generation aircraft, so I doubt it.
@Mach99999
I guess that is true, though I think having jamming capability and psm capability on the same aircraft is a bit too ambitious for 3rd generation.
Good news everyone, I managed to post my VTOL aircraft ahead of schedule and is now ready for service, hopefully, assuming there aren’t any major problems with the design.
This is my first time making a cockpit for a VTOL aircraft, I hope it’s got the essentials for controlling the plane, since I might’ve overlooked something.
Progress on my VTOL aircraft is coming along good, all I really have left to do is the cockpit interior and I should be all set to post it (should happen sometime tomorrow).
@Yourlocalhuman
Judging from the fact that in the participants list, I don’t have a number amount higher than 0 inside the parentheses, I’m guessing my operation wasn’t successful?
@Panzerwaifu69
YES!!!!!! we now have another carrier capable aircraft for the war effort. I can tell you worked really hard on this plane for the challenge, and you must've really pushed yourself to get it done in time for the challenge. I would spotlight this plane if I could.
@flightdesigner
He did say that say that the general type of planes that should be in this challenge are generation 3 jets. Also, he isn’t able to control how many successor points he gets from builds as that is dependent on the number of people participating, which is also out of his control.
Nice plane, I like how you are making real world aircraft for the challenge.

@Mattsimus
I didn’t know we could use other people’s aircraft. I’ll have to remember that later on.
Also, best of luck with your operation.

YAY! Communism!
@Yourlocalhuman
Considering how the war is going, I’d consider it if I were you.

Parts of this plane remind me of the F-105 Thunderchief, job 👍, we could really use something to turn the tide of the war.

I haven't done Variable Geometry Wings in a long time, so I hope that this is a good attempt at making them in-game.
@Trainz448
The only thing bigger than the wallets of BMW owners is their egos.
@Eugene14
We haven’t unlocked them yet.
@Yourlocalhuman
Uh oh, looks like the war is going pretty poorly.
I’m just glad I didn’t have any aircraft stationed on krakabola.
@Yourlocalhuman
Yes please.
BTW, my newest aircraft for the war is making steady, though slower than expected progress.
@lewishasnoiq
NOOOOOOOOOO!
@ZeroWithSlashedO
Exactly! I may not follow the rules 100%, but I will make an effort to follow them when I can.

@Mach99999
Both, since I haven't really heard of any 3rd generation jets doing either.
@toorbokkot
I don't think nukes are allowed yet, if they are allowed at all.
@Eugene14
Looks great, an AWACS would really help us in the war effort, possibly give us a slight edge.
@Eugene14
Special Package?
I'm interested to know what it is.
@Mach99999
Wait? You can do that?
@Yourlocalhuman
At last the invasion has begun!
@lewishasnoiq
I feel like we should ask the challenge host first before we do such a operation that uses other peoples creations.
@lewishasnoiq
Just be sure to announce your invasion as an operation. I also wonder if other peoples aircraft can be included in your operation.
@lewishasnoiq
Perhaps, I guess we’ll just have to conduct a war-winning operation (or probably several at once) that ultimately succeeds.
@lewishasnoiq
Is it just me, or does this war seem more like a stalemate than the last war, the tide bar doesn’t really seem to change much.
@lewishasnoiq
Should I be afraid?
@Dracul0Anderson
+1That’s good to hear! Don’t want the war to go for too long, you know, for their sake.
@lewishasnoiq
+2Do I hear invasion?
@Yourlocalhuman
I do still plan on conducting an operation of sorts tomorrow though, if the quota isn’t immediately filled up that is.
@Yourlocalhuman
I’ll do that, but maybe I’ll take a break for a day, building 2 planes in as many days was a little exhausting for me.
@Yourlocalhuman
I’ve tried building ground vehicles in the past with bad results, I was referring to what type of aircraft I should make.
What should I build now? Since I’ve built two multirole aircraft (1 VTOL & 1 Carrier Capable)
Looks like an FH3 Demon had too much to eat at Grandma’s house.
Good news everyone, I managed to post my VTOL aircraft ahead of schedule and is now ready for service, hopefully, assuming there aren’t any major problems with the design.

Insert Fortunate Son as you ride in a helicopter with your rocket pods and miniguns.
@Yourlocalhuman
+1I see now, thanks for clearing it up.
@Dracul0Anderson
But I announced that I was doing Operation Slasher, and it reads as completed, so that’s why I’m confused.
@Yourlocalhuman
Judging from the fact that in the participants list, I don’t have a number amount higher than 0 inside the parentheses, I’m guessing my operation wasn’t successful?
@Sakorsky
It would be pretty funny, but also anticlimactic to see you completely abuse that. I look forward to seeing it.

@Yourlocalhuman
I planned on making a VTOL jet, so that’s why I was wondering.
@Yourlocalhuman
Are VTOL jets engines allowed to be used?
