I will be forever grateful for your code for the elevation coding... Although... would you please be kind enough to explain to me why did you choose the smooth function for traverse instead of just asum(Roll*(VTOL+1)*0.5) function? I mean for me (an eternal noob) the latter seemed more simplistic, but I'm pretty sure there's a logical reason why you used the seemingly more complex code...
Damn she's a fine gal... Nice pun as well.
So... Basically a P-51D with a slightly modified cockpit (like for some reason I feel a distinct uncanny-valley effect from the cockpit) and six battleship-grade cannons? I mean, I know you don't like custom gears so I just considered the gears as "replica of sorts".
@Thefrenchdude22 Yeah aside from the problem that the SE-100/LeO-50 looked like a cute rodent with her smooth (late 1930s?) French curves (Note to self: no Rodrick calling her "flying croissant" is not nice!) and a VERY cute tricycle gear (for some reason it reminded me of strollers and kid's tricycles), while this airframe is an unholy amalgamation of various Japanese airframes with the flaws of all and beauty of none, not too much of a problem...
@Thefrenchdude22 This... thing... is just a bit... strange... I mean, like there's a feeling of... how do you say it, "uncanny valley effect", perhaps? It just feels so wrong to my eyes, for reason completely beyond my grasp...
Also, nice gravatar. Is he an admiral of sorts?
@LeonardoEngineering No worries bro! I'm not exactly the best at conveying my thoughts so accidents like that is quite often, especially when I'm tired and the like.
@LeonardoEngineering I know, I mean that now we've got something much better than the old one to make missile launchers with. Also, thanks for the information!
@FranzPeterSiegfried I think it's more dieselpunk than steampunk (streamlined design, no exposed piping, non-brass colors, bulbous fairings everywhere), but anyways, it's a pity that this beautiful airframe did not come with a backstory.
@Jim1the1Squid I know the Rodneys - the point is, even THEY have only three turrets, with the second one superfiring. This one have FOUR, with only the third one superfiring, which gave a distinctive silhouette of an armed freighter with turrets jutting out of anywhere that fits and anywhere that doesn't.
P.S. For some reason I just hate non-superfiring turrets (esp. two consecutive turrets on the same level), and I'm not a fan of the Rodney-class, either.
I have to say that the turret arrangement is... well... strange... (Yup, granted, it IS better than that of the Japanese Tone-class cruisers, but pretty much everyone is better by that regard)
Also you can use WNP78's Advanced Targeting MOD for lead aim the main gun, just in default bullet velocity settings. In other words, the speed of the bullet is exactly the speed of the shells? Also, nice use of the winches.
I once built one like that (with HE, guided AA, and guided AP rounds), then scrapped the entire project and deleted everything related to it both online and on my phone for it was a bit too laggy - not just "a bit", either. The other reason why I scrapped the project is that I hate it for having no recoil and/or muzzle flash.
P.S. That anime with "railgun" in its name have nothing to do with real-life railguns.
@Ryn176 Wright seems to be a jet-age military airbase, so... Although granted, the terminal building at Yeager really should have this. Bandit seems to resemble a WWII-era airbase, and Avalanche seems to resemble an airport serving a research outpost in a remote location.
Well... given that for small-angle approximation to work, there must be quite some difference between maximum thrust and maximum theoretical thrust (as in the maximum thrust the engines can possibly generate), is it possible to add another rotator to harness the extra thrust for boost/afterburner?
@CenturiVonKikie Trust me, I'm not that into dogs (or any non-human lifeform in general), but I AM interested in planes; also, just realized you changed your gravatar after your previous comment, the dog is cute.
@spefyjerbf Agreed.

+1@lman IIRC in real life it allows better management of what is dropped and what isn't compared to the traditional racks. In game... Not so much.

It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark...
+1@Kakofrutaka Looking forward to your return.
+1Kako? Good to see you again!
+1Does anybody know what those Russian words mean?
+1@LeonardoEngineering No worries bro! I'm not exactly the best at conveying my thoughts so accidents like that is quite often, especially when I'm tired and the like.

+1Great plane, looks somewhat more dieselpunk than steampunk, though.
+1Kako? You're back! Holy sh*t Kako's back!
+1Well, ain't this a nice remake of that old airframe! Good Job!
+1I guess posting a "fixed" version is all we can do... Also, for a "normal" car control, it's mostly pitch for gas and roll for turn.
+1Nice work, but... I assume that
+1zeroOnDeactivate ="true" would help with AG7?Hi Spef! Good to see ya again!
+1Damn, she wouldn't look out of place as a starfighter! Great build.
+1@Mustang51 Seems to be windows/slits for turret crew to see out of.
+1@Charris969 The floating airbase, right?
+1Hmmm... Are there any fictional characters similar to the Red Baron in your AU?

+1Hmmmmm.... Those round corners?
+1What happened in the screenshot?
+1Dreadnought?
+1Nice to see another build from ya, Spefy!
+1sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss... BOOM!
+1Also, were is that lyric from?
Can someone please tell me which nations in your AU corresponds to which nations in real-life? Great plane, anyways.
+1Is this supposed to be a Su-27 in your AU?
+1PBY Catalina?
+1@GeneralOliverVonBismarck Or the No.2 turret (count from the bow)

+1Where the hell are we supposed to find that cursed arsenal ship, though?
+1@spefyjerbf Don't worry, it's just me thinking "Hey, wouldn't it be nice to take off straight from the in-game designer?". I'm a weirdo, that's it.
