I don't really follow this take?
If you're calling the Tu-160 ugly then surely there are worse smelling things.
Hell, I've been to Yellowstone and arguably now associate the smell of sulfur with the USA.
That was almost ten years ago, but still.
"The second of these two sub-weaknesses is that even with a thick, bulletproof, temper-glass light cover, these still provide significantly weaker points for an enemy to aim to"
Generally the solution here is to mount the lights outside the armour.
Interesting modification.
The engine gives me concerns, seeing as the 110A's "Trirad" was intended to be easy to produce and cheap. Are parts available in large numbers for such an old engine?
I'll have to take a closer look at some of the other changes later.
This could, possibly, come in handy. If I'm remembering company history right, back in the 1960s Graingy developed a piston-powered attack aircraft. I don't believe it saw too long of a production run, if really a run at all, but I think the required tooling still exists and I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the Eel Protectorate managed to get production going again. I don't think the base 110A would really be able to catch them, meaning we'd be reliant on more expensive aircraft types to ward them off.
@Guywhobuildsstuff Also known as making an entirely new aircraft.
The whole point of the aircraft is cost. We have to be sure not to drive it up too greatly. At that point we might as well just produce a higher class of aircraft i.e. a jet.
@Guywhobuildsstuff If we're facing fourth gens we're screwed anyways.
The Eel Protectorate operates glorified lawn mowers as far as I know, so I think we're in the clear.
Note how I said Russian and not Soviet.
While I understand that Soviet equipment was generally inferior for its time period, many of these systems, such as the T-72, were far newer at the time and were built by a country with an actual military budget (and not just Corruptovich's yacht fund). Had the USSR not collapsed I'm sure they would've eventually devised something far scarier to better match NATO equipment (and learned from the Gulf War curbstomp), instead of the constant upgrade packages or paper tigers Russia makes.
Anyways, on the topic of the forum:
I have little specialized knowledge in regards to modern tanks. That being said, I have generally little faith in Russian Federation equipment and have heard less than flattering things about the T-90's performance.
@Guywhobuildsstuff as seen here.
Comparing it to an older Graingy aircraft, such as a GP-43, shows admittedly worse performance in some aspects than the WWII fighter. Most noticeably, speed.
Regardless, I consider this design successful.
@Yish42 Another Canadian, eh?
Have we met? I can't remember.
Bye I guess
@Graingy ?
Reminds me of an F-4 mixed with an Avro Arrow.
@Graingy That was without a doubt aimed as an insult.
@Graingy That's one of the insults of all time.
@Graingy Ah, is nothing.
@Graingy Speak of the devil.

@TheMouse What is Brawl Stars?
It should be in the useful linked post pinned in the forums last I checked.

Why am I even surprised.
@ComradeSandman Ugh awful profile picture.
@TalonTheCRTguy ??? Yes?
What does you finding out what's allowed have to do with what other people do?
What?
@DatFiat126Fan19 Quite tragic, isn't it?
@LJAircraftmanufacturer You took your sweet time.
What?
@TalonTheCRTguy I'm not Grain, or anymore associated with Graingy.
Don't call me that.
@Guywhobuildsstuff It’d be an “all proceeds” type thing, of course.
It’s not about the branding, rather the design. Selling ADP-110s, for example.
@DatFiat126Fan19 ?
You should get that checked out. Font swelling is a dangerous condition if left untreated. It’s usually caused by a hashtag infection.
This is something alright
@BlinIndustry ?
@Graingy Indeed you are.
Yes, this is a reasonable request.
@Graingy 7.62 for the prototype.
Production model has .50s. I'm not stupid.

I am not an Albertan.
@DatFiat126Fan19 This is a digital file you nincompoop.
@TheMouse Hit Grain.
@Jaspy190 That's a good opinion.
To bring down evil.
@Rb2h I-
...
I can actually see that.
@DatFiat126Fan19 Peculiar.
And please put those back.
Ah, my bad. I couldn't make it out with my screen lighting. It's rather dark.

@TheMouse Ah, I see.
hm
Ah
Junior high... what's that, 6-8?
Is that another term for middle school? I cannot remember.
Ha
To be honest, I kind of agree.
Hm, congrats.
Now you have to figure out where you're going next.
Fun.
What have I missed?
I do not believe the Eel Protectorate operates any GP-43s, so at least there's that.
