Sorry, just spam-upvoting everything I liked as usual, and curiosity got the better of me and I can't help but ask what happened between the two of ya for the apparent animosity...
@Graingy Kek. Although here I thought the Yanks had it worse back during the years HMS Agamemnon was active? IIRC the Brits were pretty unionized during the 1910s and 1920s, the Yanks - especially the miners - not so much.
FDR have the right idea on how to run a state, shame about the state of affairs since Richard Nixon though.
@TheAviator77
They detect missile lock alright - and that's why I said such a weapon might be pointless in the first place! The difference, though, is that IIRC the target only detect missile lock after the missile ignites, and you don't need to worry about actually "locking" onto the target as the missile automatically counts as locked.
The only way to make a truly undetectable missile in SP is through tons upon tons of FT-based XML'ing - something I have problems doing myself due to both hardware (phone is already as crispy as-is, laptop cannot funky tree) and personal skill (read: me dumb) issues.
@RamboJutter
First thing first, a Mustang isn't a British design either - it's an American one that just happen to function better with British engines than their homegrown counterparts. Plus, a P-51 fin flares out at its base at the leading edge, while the Halocene's flares out at the trailing edge... and TBPH the Supermarine Attacker looks much closer to a British-built "jet P-51".
.
Plus, a trapezoidal fin (or a triangular tailplane) does not as readily identify an airframe's lineage (especially because the Ju 287 had a very similar fin) as the shape of its engine nacelles and the canopy - and both are all German.
.
Seriously, this plane is a dead ringer for the Junkers/OKB-1 EF-131 sans the third pair of engines (preemptive apologies for not being able to find a good English source), which, given that IRL British post-war designs usually take a drastically different approach with a cylindrical cross-section, cigar-shaped outline, sharp nose, bubble canopy, and trapezoidal wings (see: de Havilland Vampire, Gloster Meteor, EE Canberra, Hawker Sea Hawk, and the aforementioned Supermarine Attacker; incidentally the Canberra looks like an overgrown Meteor) compared to their WWII counterparts, still look really out of place.

... and sorry for hogging the channel.
TL;DR: Incorporating elements from captured enemy planes is all well and fine, but a British designer building something without any British features but rather a mish-mash of Junkers, Heinkel, and Arado would probably be a bit out of place.
Beautiful as always! ... although... why does a supposedly British design have a Junkers' cockpit and an Arado's engine arrangement? Did RJ Ltd. collab with those two aircraft manufacturers after German surrender?
@MonarchiiwithastolenMG
NVM then. I thought I've seen a setup w/ localized FCs somewhere, probably one of PlanariaLab's or hpgbproductions' deleted posts on a second thought...
IIRC this type of design had been seriously considered back in early Cold War? So... no, reality didn't sneeze, and this doesn't even look too insane by IRL drone design standards.
@Monarchii Well, no worries my friend! How's your new chapter in life? Are you going back to school or working a job now? And how's your foot?

Also, two of my (perpetual WIP) builds that came from this: The remastered Skylance; and The bullpup Skylance, a design inspired by @Weisbrich's A11 'Jester'.
@Rob119WithA105mmHowitzer
It's a rather obscure aircraft and rarely seen on this site?
Holy hells, a stall speed of 25mph? Thanks for finding this gem.
The drag point is lit.
How many gyros? How many rotators?
'Appy Cake Day! ✈️🎂✈️🎂✈️🎂✈️🎂
@Seeras
Could you please make this build a successor of this? Thanks!
... absolutely * BOOTIFUL *.
Y'know, upvoting this also gives half the points to the original, so by upvoting both I'm giving the original half-again as much support!
Gratz on Silver!

... edit: I meant "gold".
Mitsubishi Ki-46-III "Dinah"
Ca. 380?
Which map did you use?
... where did you even find me....
Great build anyways.
@Cereal Where did you get the font?
Wait don't bombs disappear underwater?
150mm "Grenade Launcher"
... isn't it just a breech-loaded mortar then?

@upperflat Thanks!

Which maps did you use for the two screenshots?
@V Sorry, wrong guy.
Thanks anyways for keeping the XML sheet up and running either way.
@TheMouse Thanks!
@V You missed

@RichardScepton @SenSkysh
Here is my personal backup of table 1.
To make sure the table would not get damaged again through either accident or vandalism, the sheet is protected this time.
@Hahahahaahahshs
True, presumably just like how the XP-72 was a P-47 Jug with elements from captured Fw-190s, and the F-86 Sabre was a jet-powered P-51D Mustang (aka the FJ-1 Fury) with the wings of an Me 262, the OG Halocene B1 9.8 was probably a Mossie with a lot of elements from captured Ju 287 and Ju 288s... then the Halocene A2 11.6 variant incorporated some elements from both an He 219 and a B-26, and now apparently an Arado Ar 234C as well...
TL;DR: Incorporating elements from captured enemy planes is all well and fine, but a British designer building something without any British features but rather a mish-mash of Junkers, Heinkel, and Arado would probably be a bit out of place.
Where did the original biplane go?

@Graingy @Gs
I'm right 'ere, y'know!
Special Thanks to @PlanariaLab for the auto-aim codes.
... have to say this AVIC looks a lot more utilitarian (and far less garish) than her old one...
Shows only six.

Damn... just... damn. Also, please build the other two in the pic.
