  • RJ Halocene B3 4.6 1.7 years ago

    @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.

    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.

  • RJ Halocene B3 4.6 1.7 years ago

    @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.

  • SGF. Super Flying Bus 1.7 years ago

    Where did the original biplane go?

  • RJ Halocene B3 4.6 1.7 years ago

    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?

    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...

    Special Thanks to @PlanariaLab for the auto-aim codes.

  • [Rebuild] [For Aggressive AI] Undead Mary 1.7 years ago

  • HLC Plopter 1.8 years ago

    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.

  • [PEA] Honmei Kagura 1.8 years ago

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

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

  • Clip Cannon 1.9 years ago

    @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".

    @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.

  • Ardrot FA-1 "Swordfish" 2.4 years ago

    @Ge

    You know Zoa too

    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.

  • Ardrot FA-1 "Swordfish" 2.4 years ago

    @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.

  • "Do you feel lucky, punk?" - If-else loop, Ammo Counter, and Autoloaders 2.5 years ago

    @XtarsAgency On a second thought... I'm pretty sure with the traditional "boquet o' cannons" (aka. one cannon with actual firingDelay and every other cannon with none) you should be able to do a "good enough" job for it... I'm currently working on a clip/mag based system that would only start reloading after a set number of shots are fired, but the delay between each gun have to be larger than 0.02 secs for the system to work properly... and that's assuming high physics.

  • "Do you feel lucky, punk?" - If-else loop, Ammo Counter, and Autoloaders 2.5 years ago

    @XtarsAgency After watching that video.... I have to say it's less of a "cascade" and more of a shotgun blast of 13 shots: one powerful shot in the middle, and six shots of varied velocities on either side of the central shot. That, coincidentally, was also very similar to the concept behind @Spefyjerbf's Variable Repeater concept... but not so much with real-life weapons.

  • "Do you feel lucky, punk?" - If-else loop, Ammo Counter, and Autoloaders 2.5 years ago

    @spefyjerbf

    since I had not thought of a solution to that problem

    ... and here I thought you solved it half a year before I even had my account?

    @XtarsAgency So... how's the prototype?
