@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)
@Eugene14
YAYYY! though your mission was probably harder than mine, seeing as your were carrying out an actual strike. Also, has anyone been able to beat the enemy F-10 yet?
I was wondering if I could also do a mission, even if it’s very simple.
Plane: F-17 Hawk
Number: 5 flights of 2 Hawks will fly CAP (Combat Air Patrol) in designated sectors of airspace near where the enemy is located, where they will search and destroy enemy aircraft that come to challenge them. Following a set amount of time, the aircraft and pilots will be rotated out and replaced in their respective sectors by new pilots and planes.
Operation Name: Operation Fencer
@NARGII
It’s a 5th generation fighter, so it will be around the 2000’s or so, seeing as the F-22 officially entered service in 2005. 5th generation fighters are harder for me to make in SimplePlanes, so that’s why I started early to give me enough time to finish it. The bad news is I probably won’t be able to make any new aircraft for a while since my focus is entirely on the current project.
@Hiimakeplanes
Put a couple weights on yourself, get in an airplane, climb as high as it can go, and then jump out. That’ll be the closest you can get to supersonic in this era.
@Eugene14
I was thinking more along the lines of a F-14, but I can see where you get that from. I'll have to ask the host of the challenge if I can use nukes (probably not).
@NARGII
I love the screenshots of aircraft you put for the challenge. It really helps me imagine the scenario that is playing out, not to mention that the screenshots themselves are good in their own right.
@NARGII
yeah, whenever I build a variable-geometry wing aircraft, it ends up being pretty maneuverable without me having to do modifications, so this was easier than I thought.
@NARGII
I'm currently working on a Fourth Generation Variable Geometry Wing Fighter. Let's just say that the aircraft's performance so far has been pretty good and, after I work out some finer details (interior cockpit and exterior of the plane), should be posted close to its appropriate time frame.
This might be hard for me, as it sometimes takes a while for me to build planes, so I’ll probably end up finishing a plane, only for its era to already be over. I’ll try not to let that happen though.
@Vincent
I'm sorry to disturb you, as I don't normally request mods to do things for me, but could you make this plane a successor to this challenge. I know you may recieve this request a lot, so I'm sorry if this seems like a waste of your time.
@Yourlocalhuman
As much as I want you to do another, you need your rest man. If you are to do another one (which I hope you do sometime in the future because these are really fun), try doing a lower intensity than the war with Snowstone. Perhaps we could be doing a Anti-Terrorism operation, assault on the Kraken, or an Alien Invasion. Do you have Maywar by any chance?
@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.
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.
@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.

@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?

+1In that case, finish it early, hold on to it until the time is right to deploy. In the meantime, maybe try a 5th gen fighter?
This is a really good plane! A worthy multirole fighter for the challenge.

I’m working on a new fighter, only problem?
+1Gonna have to wait a while before it can be put into service.
Hope we get more Allied Fighters, the new enemy planes are going to be tough to beat, (I did a test flight of the newest one).

@JamesG771
+1Indeed. With the new fighters that re coming out now, the hunts should be rather enjoyable.
@NARGII

@NARGII
+1yeah, whenever I build a variable-geometry wing aircraft, it ends up being pretty maneuverable without me having to do modifications, so this was easier than I thought.
@NARGII
+1Closer to the mid, to late 70’s.

+1@FoxDynamicsWeapons
+1On second thought, no thanks, I don’t want it.
What did that cat drink? And I’m where can I get some?
+1Is this another Franz Ferdinand situation?
+1You know, where a guy gets assassinated and the world goes to war over it.

@Yourlocalhuman
+1I see now, thanks for clearing it up.

+1YES!!!!!! 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.
@Dracul0Anderson
+1Also, good luck with Operation Grand Slam.
@Dracul0Anderson
+1I honestly don’t know, maybe it just lists the people he saw participating the last time the host of the challenge was online?
@Dracul0Anderson
+1Damn we’re really trying to destroy everything they have aren’t we.
@Dracul0Anderson
+1That’s good to hear, every little bit helps.
@Dracul0Anderson
+1For an upcoming war I presume
@Yourlocalhuman
+1Did someone say another conflict? I would very much look forward to participating in another war.
