Also to anyone who’s curious, The Me-119 and SchArCo Buster both got 8/10 on dogfighting, the Me-119 lost to the Type-5 Super Zero and the Cortina TR530, while the SchArCo Buster lost to the Hawker Monsoon and Cortina TR530
At my time it’s still the 25th, but it’s also by the end of the day here for the submissions, then results will be posted at the end of my tests@TheMitsuboshiBoi
I like the basics of it, the cockpit that far back is very interesting, and the fact that it’s detailed is even better. Also not often you get an Italian design too
Because I want to see the best of the best, and that people are just getting this as well, I am extending it another week to March 26th, so @FearlessAce, @Trijets, you guys have an opportunity to get something in, anyone who wants to improve or add another aircraft to the mix has the ability to do so.
That is the inspiration, except I left out the inverted gull wings, and also the cannon under the fuselage is based off the Il-20 where it swivels down for level flying strafing@Pufferfish0754
Having a dogfight between your creation and mine is quite fun, especially since mine is British and yours is German, and speed and maneuverability is relatively close, only thing is how fast your guns are compared to mine
I didn’t add it to the description because I didn’t test it before hand but it also works with torpedoes, just got to angle the X dimension by 10 degrees and add it on the pylon
Yeah I accidentally got rid of the symbols before I could use them lol, but which kind of bomber would suit better, I can easily do light, medium, heavy, dive bombers, torpedo bombers, there’s a lot@Pufferfish0754
I like the design, I also have a soft spot for Imperial Japanese aircraft. Also like the way you kept it in reasonable design standards for the time as well
Well after careful considerations, the winner of the challenge has to be @Cabbage17, his design of an early radar warning aircraft was not only unique, but it’s beautiful flying characteristics and easy landing on the carrier is exactly what I was looking for. Every entry was great, but congrats to Cabbage for an excellent design
The challenge will be coming to an end soon, @winterro @Cabbage17 if you want to get your aircraft in you have only a little time left, at 00:00 EST on March 3, aka end of tomorrow, I’ll close it down. I have only 1 entry in so far and would really enjoy seeing a lot more cool creations by everyone
Other than not having a rotary engine, which is really hard to do, so understandable, lovely flyer, and it’s my favorite WWI aircraft so bonus points there, amazing work
Oh really? Didn’t know that thanks@ChisP

So no mods include XML and Overload?
How are winners being announced?
Yeah I kinda realized it’s wings angle forward a little bit, but oh well, and it is B-17esque, which was also accidental lol@Pufferfish0754
Lol, I got to do it all after work@TheMitsuboshiBoi
Off by 10 points ain’t bad, what’s the issues?@Pufferfish0754
At my time it’s still the 25th, but it’s also by the end of the day here for the submissions, then results will be posted at the end of my tests@TheMitsuboshiBoi
lol, thanks@Tieioi
It’s not too bad lol, just slow and sluggish, which I guess is how a big bomber should feel like@Tieioi
I think I spent the most time and added detail on my entry than I ever have on anything else I built, but feels like I could have done better still
I like the basics of it, the cockpit that far back is very interesting, and the fact that it’s detailed is even better. Also not often you get an Italian design too
Thanks, I can add the dogfight matchups and have the results on there plus the points for originality, design and other factors@Trijets
I honestly really don’t know how to do that lol@Trijets
Yes, xml and overload are allowed@FearlessAce
Because I want to see the best of the best, and that people are just getting this as well, I am extending it another week to March 26th, so @FearlessAce, @Trijets, you guys have an opportunity to get something in, anyone who wants to improve or add another aircraft to the mix has the ability to do so.
I was thinking of extending it a little bit, because a lot of people are just coming to seeing this now@Trijets
You still got a whole day pal@FearlessAce
Very cool pusher concept, and a nice back story too, very enjoyable
The Tri-motor set up is interesting, and for the fused guns thing it’s perfectly within the rules

Is it supposed to be March 25th deadline if it’s 10 days away?
Well my constant building of biplanes has become beneficial, although I tried some new things so hopefully it works fine
It’s a killer lol, although I think if I shortened the fuselage it might make it more maneuverable@Pufferfish0754
I did on mine@LordAidanYT
That’ll make a lot of aircraft lol, oh and I remembered the insignia this time, but forgot to color the tail gun@Pufferfish0754
Thanks, since I already made a dive bomber previously I took the knowledge of the dive flaps and transposed it to this one@Pufferfish0754
I didn’t add it to the description because I didn’t test it before hand but it also works with torpedoes, just got to angle the X dimension by 10 degrees and add it on the pylon
Oh I’m good at that, especially since carrier aircraft is my specialty@Pufferfish0754
Yeah I accidentally got rid of the symbols before I could use them lol, but which kind of bomber would suit better, I can easily do light, medium, heavy, dive bombers, torpedo bombers, there’s a lot@Pufferfish0754
Thanks, I wanted to make an interesting yet feasible design and this is what came to my head@Treadmill103
Vroom vroom and boom boom@GeneralPatrick2
I like the design, I also have a soft spot for Imperial Japanese aircraft. Also like the way you kept it in reasonable design standards for the time as well
I’ll put it through the courses of course, although it’s more of a bruiser than a fighter lol@SimplyPlain
This is a really cool design, especially the back story behind it. Although I can’t dogfight it I really enjoy this aircraft
This one works perfectly, and holy cow is it maneuverable
Could you modify yours a little bit? I guess it won’t let me download because of a smoke mod you have on it@jacephysicsboss
Is it a make this particular aircraft into a fighter or just download it and I can turn it into what ever I want?

It’s definitely an interesting concept of the rotating wing design, it’s pretty cool@TheBruh007
Well I’m not closing the challenge for a little bit of time so you got time@TheBruh007
I guess you got confused as well, it’s supposed to be an aircraft that’s use on a carrier, I’m sorry for the confusion @winterro
It’s ok, you can submit a new one that’s actually an aircraft @TheBruh007
Oh it’s supposed to be an aircraft built for the carrier lol@TheBruh007
The deadline is TBD, but I want everyone to get a chance to make their best, so I’ll close it when I feel confident in everyone’s submission
@TheBruh007 thanks, it was pretty fun to build and fly
Well I made a nice quick and easy one for ya, might not exactly be the best but it sure was fun
Other than not having a rotary engine, which is really hard to do, so understandable, lovely flyer, and it’s my favorite WWI aircraft so bonus points there, amazing work
