@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.

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'.
@Monarchii I mean, back when you were still @Farewellntchii I made that joke (IIRC on one of the ASAP targets or the ill-fated fighter challenge when I called you "chii-zu san") so I just decided to go "ykw, let's do this just for old time's sake".
Yeah, about three years ago I started talking with Gx, and about two years ago I started talking with Zoa. Back then I only knew her as his IRL girlfriend, but after last year when she made the Draco? I started viewing her as a fellow builder with a trick or two up her sleeve.
@Galaxees Well, I was here for a long time so it's natural that I picked up a few things from others... And I am working on Zoa's Echostar (used to be Gx's, but well, long story short, he died IRL so Zoa sorta took over his AU) where pretty much everything decision was done through copious amount of sketching.
Welcome back Et!

@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?

Pantsir?

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

@Monarchii I mean, if you like it the you do you! I ain't stopping ya either way.

@Vikram123 Feel free to use the mechanism (and the mechanism of its predecessor) in your future builds!
Bonus point for the original sketch resembles another product of Servesky/Republic's, the Servesky SEV-3.
@Dagger125 Thanks! You might also like this, an unholy fusion between the Jug... and this, which also resembles the Jug when viewed from the side.

Also, I'm assuming this is a Seraphim ship?
@CrazyEngine Thanks! How's the system?
@CR929thenewSPplayer ?
@SimpleAreospace I'll test it myself. Haven't got a chance to test 1.12 as of yet. Schoolwork got busy.
Cat? No matter how I see it I see a very cute rodent... I mean, the long snout and button nose and all...
My feline friend! Good to see ya again! That said... IIRC the deadline for the Airship challenge is on the 2nd of July?
@LunarEclipseSP T
@Transair56 Thanks!
pln
Underwing landing gears would suggest it's an F6F Hellcat, though...
@PlaneFX6 Thanks!
Goo' ta' see ya' 'gain, RJ!
@SILVERPANZER Thanks. Not my design though...
