@MephilesTheDark I mean, if anyone looked at it for the first time and saw it, I’m sure they’d think the same thing. I just did a deeper dig on it. Still really cool tho!
@typeZERO I think it’s explained that the ECM prematurely detonated missiles shot at it, so it’s technically not plot armor, but also kind of is. At least it’s not Mihaly levels of plot armor. “Non-critical area” my... well, I don’t have to say it.
I was wrong about the original range of the TLS. I was just testing it out, and found I was able to hit the Jundroo from out of radar range (10 miles). The previous range of 2.2 miles was from a previous test against an aircraft, so the range has been updated. Meaning if you’re a good enough shot, you can hit everything from no matter how far away you are!
@Sinacraft Most Ace Combat OSTs are great for the game. And they almost always have that one song that defines the game, or is most loved (like Zero or Daredevil)
@HarryBen47 Fixed the armaments on it. One last question, are the non-stealthy variants allowed to have more than 12 missiles? My entry can carry a maximum of 17 in its current build.
@FranzPeterSiegfried I have ideas on how to make those, it’s more like what comes after that I’m not too sure about. Don’t worry, I’m still gonna upload some crafts (I have aircraft and panzers to spare) but I’m not sure of what to make. Any ideas?
@JamesBoA Problem is I’m stuck in a creative rut. After those two I wanna have an idea of what I should work on next. (I do have most Sukhoi aircraft past the 33 down, plus the F-18E and F-15C ready, but not uploaded yet.)
* *Nervous Sukhoi noises*
But in all seriousness, absolutely *beautiful build! I wouldn’t be surprised if this wins. But in any way, I wish you best of luck in the competition!
@FranzPeterSiegfried <<Soon...>> (I actually have a modified Sukhoi of mine to look like the Nosferatu, kind of based in the Infinity universe as a predecessor to the CFA-44. Might post it, but I have more aircraft to post first.)
<<You and I are opposite sides of the same coin. When we face each other, we can finally see our true selves. There may be a resemblance, but we never face the same direction.>>
Seriously cool build! I’m planning on uploading my own version, but this is definitely sweet! It’s very maneuverable, and definitely a force to be reckoned with! Great job!
@Flash0of0green That is very true. Tanks nowadays favor mobility much more over protection, especially since we’ve found new ways to protect the tank and cut down the weight cost greatly (I.e. the M1 weighing about the same weight as a Tiger II, but have much more protection and armament). It was more of a fantasy kind of idea, not actually to be put in the real world, and especially not for conflict. Would this work IRL, in a desert or in the tundra, or even on roads that could maybe support it without breaking? No, and it’s not supposed to be. It’s just a fun idea and build I had when bored in class. After all, people make crazier things on here. But I do get what you mean.
As for firing bombs, I’m not sure how to do that since I can’t really modify parts like that. A cool idea though, thanks!
@ThomBomb Thank you! For the roundels I used fuselage parts. As for the issues you noticed:
Issue 1: It possibly has to do with the gun not being centered, and instead on the right side (pushing the COM slightly right). Though not much more than a slight roll should correct that.
Issue 2: I am aware of this issue, and I wish I could fix it. I was using stock engines, as I’m on mobile and have no idea how to modify engines to have higher thrust, so that issue might be very prevalent in my builds. As for the COM and COL issues, it’s supposed to be a very maneuverable craft, hence them being so close together. I fly on high physics, and I’ve had no issues with it. That being said, it can be unstable at high speeds if you put too much control input in, but that was outlined in the notes.
Anywho, I hope that you enjoy the build! And I wish you best of luck in the contest!
@joshcook2273 can confirm it definitely is.
@joshcook2273 Yep, it does.
@FranzPeterSiegfried Thanks!

+1@MephilesTheDark Seems like a cool plane, so maybe. Also, it’s not from Ace Combat, it’s a fan made aircraft.
@typeZERO Basically every pilot on those missions to him (Gründergram NG+, Mission 18)

This is really good looking, a lot better than my first attempt. Great work, and keep it up!

Definitely a very interesting concept. Really cool craft!
I am a simple drone. I see target, I [INITIATE DESTROY FUNCTION] == ON
+1@FranzPeterSiegfried Glad you enjoy! Arguably one of my favorites too, since it has such a unique look compared to most Sukhoi aircraft.
+1How can be something so cute?! This is adorable! Outstanding job on the cute factor.
@Sinacraft I am still but a lowly nugget, and have only played 7. My favorites from that game are Daredevil/Hush, and Sol.

+1@Sinacraft I wouldn’t dare oppose the “Demon Lord” again! Also, thanks for the upvote!
+1@BaconRoll Maybe, the 2D thrust vectoring is gonna be an issue though, naturally.

... ok, give me some time then... I’ve gotta modify my post then. (I’m just gonna change the links, nothing big) @HarryBen47
@FranzPeterSiegfried X-02? Yes... maybe...
* EML noises intensify *
Not too familiar with Macross or Robotech, so probably not those. I’ve heard good things though.
@FranzPeterSiegfried I have ideas on how to make those, it’s more like what comes after that I’m not too sure about. Don’t worry, I’m still gonna upload some crafts (I have aircraft and panzers to spare) but I’m not sure of what to make. Any ideas?

Happy birthday man! Not gonna lie, freshman year is tough, but it gets better.

@methirasoysa123 thanks!
@Skyworld One should not have given me this power. But I’ll use it anyways. Muahaha!
But seriously, nice build!
+1@Skyworld Oh great, now it’s even more deadly, and quicker too! But hey, that’s just good news for us piloting it.
Wait... is this... an Arsenal Bird... but... a bomber?

+1@bunzaii33 Welc.
@HarryBen47 wait, are stock missiles okay? Also, congrats on gold. Thy hath evolved into a beautiful Husky.
@randomusername Thanks for the upvote! Also, good Ace Combat meme on your page. Gotta love the QAAM spam.
+1@TheSolarFlare Thanks! And thanks for the upvote!
Hey, just so you know, it has to be a successor to the contest or it won’t be seen by him. Sorry! Anyway, I wish you best of luck in it!
@methirasoysa123 That means a lot, thanks! And thanks for the upvote and spotlight!
@FranzPeterSiegfried Your Nosferatu is quite a cool aircraft (I plan on making it later), but thanks! And thanks for the upvote!

Truly brings fear into the enemy. Sweet build!
@Flash0of0green Thanks for the idea, might try that sometime!
@Caden313 Ace Combat. It’s basically a giant railgun array to shoot down asteroid fragments.

@Plane66373637 Thanks! I made this when I was first learning about the part position editor. It definitely came into use for those.

@methirasoysa123 @HarryBen47 I believe you/he posted your/his as an actual aircraft, not as a successor. I made the same mistake.
Not the most maneuverable, but still quite a good looking aircraft. And I love the look of the forward swept wings!
Even though the parts are low for the contest, still a really good plane.
@HarryBen47 Ah, okay. Thanks very much!
