@JavierWorks @Khamsin @Simpleplanes25 Congratulations on being the top 3 in the challenge, will start giving out rewards here soon. Thank you all for participating, and hope to see you all on the next one.
Yeah, the important thing is having the ability to have control during the dive and make small adjustments for aiming, which is what the dive breaks are for, and the trapeze allowed for the bomb to go below the prop arc@Hannyboy
If you want, you should try using the speed break part for dive breaks, and adding a trapeze for the center bomb, but the cockpit looks nice, and I like the overall look
Oh yeah, it’s basically standard on most dive bombers, like the Ju-87 Stuka and Helldiver, helps slow the plane and make it controllable in a dive, then the trapeze lets the bomb clear the prop arc@OFFWORLDSHRIMP
Apologies for the hiatus and very late comments, but I was gone for a decent while due to personal reasons, and next week I can start my testing of these airplanes when I get home, sorry again for the wait, but I appreciate all who participated
They did have arresting hooks on some of them, more like a bunch of them that they hoped would hit a grid of rope, but the wing folding would be exempt on a WWI design as being necessary@lilgreen06
So say you make a cargo plane like the C-2 Greyhound, that thing won’t be pulling high G maneuvers at like 500 mph, it’s just not realistic@DerpyCookie17
An interesting concept with the opening bomb bay for the cleavers, and the unique design of it is also really cool, although the wings folding with the brakes is kinda weird, and if AG1 is on while landing and trying to slow down, the wings accidentally folding is hard to recover from, and the 0-100 taxiing speed is also difficult to use at first. But overall a cool and interesting design
It’s a pretty, fast, and maneuverable little plane, kinda reminds me of the Vought F4U Corsair, although you did forget a tail hook, so landing is slightly difficult lol, but you can easily fix it
So everyone fought all the entries, plus my 2 aircraft, for you though, you beat: EP-14, Sh-21, Type-5, TA-4, and Cortina TR530. You were shot down by: Starjet, Monsoon, Nexus, Me-119, and Buster. So a 5 to 5 score@Trijets
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
@NavalCG thanks, was kinda difficult to not make it look like just a P-47 in Japanese colors, but I think I have a good blend of the two
Thank you to the participants, I will test and evaluate the aircraft and have rankings out soon.
Good simple design, would like a little story in the description, like the origin of the plane and all that
Overall good looking design, but you are supposed to build the cylinders of the engine and not use the base one on the game. But still like it
@JavierWorks @Khamsin @Simpleplanes25 Congratulations on being the top 3 in the challenge, will start giving out rewards here soon. Thank you all for participating, and hope to see you all on the next one.
Currently testing all models to decide on points, thank you for all that participated
Yes, they are allowed, just the norm to be a 2 seater@Khamsin
Thank you, was kinda hard but glad it came out good@MrCOPTY
Hmm, when I decide on the rewards I will edit the challenge summery, thank you@WinsWings
Thanks, first attempt at building with one hand and thought it went well @WinsWings
I was still thinking about it, any suggestions?@WinsWings
Best of luck, and the input control will say Activate1 or Activate2, etc for the AG group used@Khamsin
Best of luck, replica or fictional you thinking?@Raiquaza19AirComp
Also most were 2 seaters with a gunner in the back, but not really a requirement @Hannyboy
Yeah, the important thing is having the ability to have control during the dive and make small adjustments for aiming, which is what the dive breaks are for, and the trapeze allowed for the bomb to go below the prop arc@Hannyboy
Can use my Val to help, probably my best trapeze I made

Thank you, only 6 weeks to heal lol @PlaneGuy01
Best of luck, excited to see what you’ll make@Hannyboy
@WinsWings want to help push this challenge along? I think you could bring some people to make some good entries
Having our two planes fly against each other is without a doubt the slowest dogfight haha, but you definitely did a great job with this one
Thanks, the engine could be better but it was a quick build@FuhrerGaming
Blohm und Voss are barely aircraft lol, they’re voodoo machines@MrKtheguy
Thank you, kinda went with a Sukhoi and F-14/ F-18 fusion, just had fun@MrKtheguy
Oh I thought the 250 to 1100 was for the speed, not part count@FeatherWing
Go ahead, just make sure the AG is set to what you want and all that@OFFWORLDSHRIMP
Oh yeah, it’s basically standard on most dive bombers, like the Ju-87 Stuka and Helldiver, helps slow the plane and make it controllable in a dive, then the trapeze lets the bomb clear the prop arc@OFFWORLDSHRIMP
Lol thanks, I’m definitely not the first or best at a bomb trapeze and dive breaks, but I think they are fun to play with @OFFWORLDSHRIMP
@ KnightsOfRen Thanks, I wanted to make an easy to download and fly plane, with enough detail to look nice.

Well perfect timing then lol@Trijets
Sorry, I’m not familiar with it@FearlessAce
Your cargo plane?@FearlessAce
Well it is kinda part of the challenge lol, right in the description@TheMitsuboshiBoi
It’s a pretty, fast, and maneuverable little plane, kinda reminds me of the Vought F4U Corsair, although you did forget a tail hook, so landing is slightly difficult lol, but you can easily fix it
@Galland @FearlessAce, here’s the newest challenge, with about a month to build it, if interested
Well I’m kinda using mobile lol, and don’t have discord, but would it still work?@Trijets
It was fun watching them all honestly, and I have pictures from the fights but wouldn’t let me paste them in unfortunately @Trijets
I’ll make sure to give it a longer time for people who build slow or are busy often@FearlessAce

@TheMitsuboshiBoi @Pufferfish0749 @Tonnkatu500
Oh really? Didn’t know that thanks@ChisP

So no mods include XML and Overload?
How are winners being announced?
