@ThomasRoderick Sadly no lol
But later versions of the Pi-3 did feature revolutionary technology, as well as see quite some service. For example, the Pi-3V-14HA (Heavy Attack variant) once flew threw the entirety of the USSR with the help of some drop tanks (though not on friendly terms, since the Pi-3 isn't Soviet), and the Pi-3R-55 utilized the first ever aircraft-mounted railgun, albeit at the cost of its radar (and most of the nose in fact). It will also become one of the first FSF planes to use decent missiles, and some versions even had lasers.
TL;DR: This version of the Pi-3 definitely isn't that revolutionary (lol), but he set the scene for a family of aircraft that would finally live up to the name.
@ThomasRoderick It's too cursed to be seen
But to give you an idea, basically the P-47's fuselage was put around the F-83's. The inner wing is that of a P-47, but it changes to the F-83's when you reach the engines. The tail section is entirely that of the P-47 aside from the vertical stabilizer.
Can I cheat and get a preview for the cinematic video?
Context is everything imo, and can make even the best song null without it (e.g. putting Interdiction (War Thunder) over like the Shikanoko opening would be absolute nonsense... which isn't too far out there considering the series of Shikanoko and the War Thunder community but still)
Hello
Don't panic, nothing bad has happened, just giving you a lil' update so you know I'm still here :D
So, the plane itself is finished. The ejection seat is a bit buggy (I would upload the fixed version but I posted the "final" version already ;-;), and I forgot to add slats, but other than that it's finished. I need to add a description and lore, though. I might make other entries, but I'm very proud of this one, so if I do make more, they will be expansions upon the first one (basically what I did with the A-40 in TheMouse's OP Aircraft Challenge). That is all.
@JSTQ
Self Propelled Anti-Aircraft. The designation is normally if not always used in the case of vehicles like trucks or tanks, but technically speaking, one could personally consider some aircraft and ships to be SPAAs.
Without any confusing loopholes though, a SPAA (Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft) is just a truck or tank designed for, as the full name suggests, taking down enemy aircraft.
I have one question and one comment:
Comment: Dang I just realized how fierce the competition is, I better step it up a bit
Question: Can I make two entries, provided that time allows?
@DrakonDynamics Considering how fast I work, I'm sure of that :D
I'ma get started soon, already brainstorming some ideas
I won't lie tho, it's definitely the lore that's got me hooked on this challenge
@TheMouse @Monarchii
Yes, PET was the initial name for Part Efficient Tanks, but since Part Efficient Trains already took PET, it was changed to PEV, Part Efficient Vehicles, before the first one released.
@ChaseRacliot @Karroc9522
For better or worse, yes, you are not alone...
Here's hoping SP2 kickstarts things. If it doesn't it might be Joever for us...
@ChaseRacliot I would love to think that, but alarming thing is that it's been going on since summer break. Everyone said it would get better in mid-September, but I didn't really see any change. Thankfully none for the worse, but unfortunately none for the better either...
@ThomasRoderick You probably can lol
+1@ThomasRoderick It technically has rockets as a standard armament, I just released the bomb version first since that's the one I built first

You know as much as I like this plane I've never seen one in real life...
+1Either way, great build :D
@LoganAviation @WritersCrusadersAirCo2
+1More than likely, yes

Man that's nice, I'ma check it out soon
+1T
+1@SIRCOMMANDER031 I won't fight you lol

+1Also...
Cruiser: I'm old 😭
Crusader: Nuh uh
Shock and TVT-100:
I'm... intrigued.
+1I've got a few ideas I might make, I'm a speedy builder albeit a slow poster, so I'm prob gonna make a plane or two for this!
@Dracul0Anderson Now I can't unsee it lol
+1Nice eagle :D
+1222 parts lol
@JSTQ Understood, mate :)
+1At first I thought it was a challenge lol

@DrakonDynamics Got it. Only issue now is I gotta choose which one should be rated lol
+1@DrakonDynamics Ah ok
+1@SuperSuperTheSylph frfr lol
+1@JSTQ I may be busy, but not busy enough to pass up this opportunity lol
+1I have one question and one comment:
+1Comment: Dang I just realized how fierce the competition is, I better step it up a bit

PANTHA?
+1@SPsidearm Actually based a bit more on the Yak-15 (with some MiG-15 attributes though because... just look up the Yak-15 it's weird lol)

I'm a bit late, but I'm down
+1Congrats, mate!
+1Also, P-47. I like the Jug.

@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 Not quite
+1Just busy is all ;-;
I'm gonna tag you both on it because it probably won't release for some time

+1Yep, PEV is small at the moment, but basically it's just any ground vehicle allowed.
F in the chat man...
+1@TTL another one has fallen ;-;
@Karroc9522 If I'm being honest, I've noticed upvote and download counts have been dreadfully low lately. Maybe it's just me, but still...
+1Dangnabbit, I forgot to ask for a tag
+1Eh, that's why the recent tab exists lol
