@ACEPILOT109 Thanks so much! And honestly, that’s very true. I’m just having a blast meeting people on here, and so far so good! Anyways, thanks for stopping by! Always appreciate it.

Seriously, thank you guys! And thanks for the spotlights and upvotes! This means a lot from you guys, considering how far you’ve come.
Edit: Just now saw you guys have seen my other crafts. Still, thanks for the support!
@Awsomur I quite disagree, I’m having a blast reading all of these! And it’s amazing to see how much has changed since the beginning (y’know, since my account is (at this time) 3.8 years old.) It’s amazing to see how active this community is all the time, and I’m glad for that! Even if my builds don’t even hold anything to these masterpieces online, I know that someone who’s brand new looks up to posts like these and can be inspired, and learn from these talented builders/creators/writers.

TL;DR SimplePlanes is awesome and I love this community.
I’m so sorry to hear about that... that is terrible news... I lost my grandmother to cancer, and that was a trying time for my whole family. I hope that you can make it past this hard stage in life, and know that us on the forum are always here to offer prayers.
@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!
@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.)
<<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!

Holy cow... I’m still a bit confused, but this is groundbreaking for designs!

@Awsomur no problem! Keep up the good work, dude!
I’d like to add my name to the list. (Please)

@Awsomur Sweet! Gonna binge this now.
How does this not have more upvotes? This is amazing! Especially since it’s great craft for how low part it is!
HYPE
Just discovered this, loving every second.
Dang... that’s some professional level engineering work.
When the double hull isn’t enough.
... Apparently I cannot count, or read. Whoops! Still best of luck all! @FranzPeterSiegfried
Well boys, today is the day... I wish all entrants best of luck in the competition!

@joshcook2273 Thanks! Yours are pretty good too, considering you’re brand new.
@USA1783 Yep, nice flag!
@joshcook2273 can confirm it definitely is.
@joshcook2273 Yep, it does.
@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)
@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.
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!
How can be something so cute?! This is adorable! Outstanding job on the cute factor.
@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.
... 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 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?
* Confused Drone noises *
@bunzaii33 Welc.
@HarryBen47 wait, are stock missiles okay? Also, congrats on gold. Thy hath evolved into a beautiful Husky.
@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!
<<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.>>

<<I even bought flowers.>>
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!
