@WinsWings Actually, a Gloster-looking Ho 229 sounds mighty fine as of now.... or a Northrop-looking one, for that matter.
.
Also, aside from vertical stabilizers and wingtips, this Allied flying wing design would probably also have large round or square intakes (like the ones shown here), unlike the elliptical monstrosities on the 229.
@WinsWings
It's the same picture as the one shown there, right?
... and among all three models, only the green "Italian" design actually looks flyable, whereas the shovelwing (aka Monarchii's build) is tail-heavy (would've made much more sense to extend the wing all the way back), and this "British" jet incapable of surviving asymmetrical thrust.
... and something tells me flying wings also work pretty nicely with split brakes.
The only thing I can think about is the asymmetrical thrust if anything happened to one of the engines... Seriously, it would've looked much more realistic if we moved the nacelles closer to the cockpit.
@Dracul0Anderson Yup, but it's only AFTER the missile's activated (or, in in-universe terms, when the missile's own radar kicks online). Still, ground targets wouldn't start shooting at you until the first missile actually hits, whereas they would normally be alerted by the first locking attempt.
Or just an accurate enough turret with high enough damage; or a weapon with a good enough proximity fuse. Or both.

@WinsWings Nah, I'm just sifting through your entire upload history and I won't stop until I upvoted each and every high-quality build of yours...

+1Jus' sayin', but staysails are more than welcomed on any square-rigged ship...
+1For my fraying sanity, is it correct to assume that the torpedoes are heavy wire-guided ASW torps instead of their WWII straight-run ancestors?
+1Well, they aren't called airpods for nothing!

+1@Monarchii Yes.

+1Sadboye12? You're back! Welcome back!
+1@LunarEclipseSP ... setting the part collision response to "none" then? Or you've already done that as well.
+1Perhaps... increasing the weight would help a bit? The Yamato IRL is about a thousand times heavier than this... and that's before modernization.
