@LockheedLover *whistle *
Before you continue, may I recommend taking time on one to make it look really, really good? Like me, for instance, I always try to challenge myself to learn something new with every build, and I’m trying to learn detailing and camouflage now. Just take one of your projects and add fuselage parts for wings, or add some hollow fuselages on the outside to make it look like paneling.
I think we should clear some things up here. On my list, I’m currently reorganizing everything based off of how much of a payload it can carry. Here’s how I’m grading:
For fighters:
Light: minimal levels of missiles (0-2), no bombs, or all guns.
Medium: Moderate levels of missiles (3-10), a couple bombs (less than 1,000-2,000lbs, depending on missile load)
Heavy: lots of missiles (10+), heavy bomb load (2,000+lbs)
For bombers:
Light: 10,000-10,000lbs Bomb load, small size
Medium: 10,000lbs-40,000lbs Bomb load, small-medium size
Heavy: 40,000+lbs Bomb load, massive size
.
Notes: plane can be smaller than normal size, but it has to be realistic. A fighter-sized aircraft cannot be a heavy bomber, and a bomber-sized aircraft cannot be classified as a fighter.
@LockheedLover Well, at least in this universe, heavy bombers seem to be straight winged, slow, and absolutely MASSIVE. I’d leave it as is, and just continue on with a new heavy bomber.
That’s what I’d do, though. I’m currently working on a British heavy bomber based on the Avro Lancaster, with a pinch of Tu-95 in it.
@LockheedLover It’s not about the size, it’s about the weight. The Argus has a payload weight, at least in this model, of 56,604 lbs (20x Boom 50s, 16x Cleavers, 4x Guardians), while yours has a payload weight of 8,500 (30x Boom 25s, 2x Boom 50s, no ATA weapons). Classification of bombers has almost always been about the weight it can carry, not about the amount.
@CruzerBlade listen, if people make indecent artwork, it will just be removed per the rules. I’m personally fine if someone made a drawing based in another universe (I.e. Strangereal from the Ace Combat series), but it should be watched, definitely.
Special shoutout to @FranzPeterSiegfried, @Jolyloly, and @Jim1the1Squid for being great friends here, as well as being really good creators, who helped me out quite a bit in some way or another!
Welcome on the highway to hecc, boi.

Congrats tho! It get’s easier with time. Tho don’t get in a crash. And no, I’m definitely not speaking from experience!
“What’s the Empty weight?”
+1“NEGATIVE.”
“What do mean, negative?”
“I CANNOT TELL YOU, JOHN.”
@Strikefighter04 you:
+1Your PC: Too sexeh for my- *windows crash sound effect *
Me: *Is iOS user. *
+2Also me: I am limited by the technology and resources of my time.
@Sm10684 tagged the wrong guy, buddy. @Planeacceleration
@LockheedLover Oh, right. Whoops, sorry about that (‘´v`)
@Sm10684 sorry, couldn’t resist.
That’d be a really flat toilet.
@CruzerBlade I think I know, but it’s been a while since I’ve been on.

@LockheedLover Those would classify under naval attack.
That’s a lot of planes.

@CrashFighter05 Hey, that’s a good idea!

@TheKraken3 Or Kraken Technologies, Kraktech for short.
Hmmm... Kraken Aeronautics?

I swear we need a drawing tag, because my god are these beautiful.
+1I’d say go for it if it seems like fun to you.
@Tums With these crazy detailed builds, that’s not hard to see. Still, keep up the amazing work!
+1Especially for a mobile builder
+1@Tums you’re welcome! You really are an amazing creator.
+1This is amazing for a first build!
+1@Jetpackturtle @BlackhattAircraft Awsomur okayed it. Read his forum post.
... you do realize we can see this plane as a successor to the original creator, right?
@Jim1the1Squid It looks better with the actual wings, trust me.
Just a strange looking British bomber I’m working on. It’s part of Franz’s universe, since it needs a crazy looking biscuit bomber.
@Theflyingtrex pretty sure Awsomur started interviewing players before you lmao
Ayyyyyyy thx m8!
Awsomur, continue being awesome. Good luck with your family.
Hey, that’s completely understandable. And glad Jim finally got that reporter role he wanted!

In recent news, my account turned 4. Woo!

DOES NOT COMPUUUUUUUUTELooks cool tho
@stig27 I’ll let you choose (almost all of my builds are from the last month)
@CruzerBlade See below.

oof-topic
Rip
You also realizing it’s pretty hard to build in it? Lmao
Can we just showcase our whole aircraft list? (I don’t have many, and you can choose whichever ones you want)
@JohnnyBoythePilot oh no
I know that there’s ramp, taxiway, and runway. Is there a term for all of them?
@Zott Kein problem! Es ist ein schönes Schwalbe, und ein schöne Livery!
+1@JolyLoly Thanks!
@Noname918181 I should... once I make it lmao
Happy birthday, my nerf-shootin‘ friend!
Also, quite a lot of us have displayed our ages at some point or another, but it is entirely up to you if you wanna show us.

@FranzPeterSiegfried Delicious.
@CruzerBlade thanks!
+1May I use that as my title? I feel like it’d be better than what I have now lmao
