@AdlerSteiner @ThePilotDude Anyone who dismisses the BF-109-Z as just another 109” should be back handed hard. Just the shape itself makes that very clear, and its armament is amazing, and is catastrophic to enemy bombers. It also climbs better than a 109, while sadly being less maneuverable. Clearly this isn't just another 109. It is a very different adaptation of the classic airframe.

Actually, I found this picture, which seems to be a Hydra parasite in the colors of the Luftwaffe. It seems to me to be a “what if Hydra stayed with Germany” Alternate plotline. Considering that it bears Luftwaffe markings, it is almost certain that this variant would have the nose detach, as Luftwaffe markings were not permitted on suicide aircraft. All of the suicide aircraft designed for the Luftwaffe where rejected because they did not want to lose their pilots, and so is there was a method for having them escaped safely they would have certainly taken it.
I love it! Especially the landing gear, which made me wonder whether it was an airworthy aircraft, or a fancy drag racer. This Plane looks crazy, and awesome!
@ThePilotDude
However, if this aircraft had been designed by an aircraft company working directly with the Luftwaffe, like say, Focke-Wulf, (which it probably who it would have been designed by considering that the propulsion system is the same as the one on the Focke-Wulf Triebflugel), then it would probably be certain that the aircraft was designed to detach the nose section and have the rest of the plane fly off safely.
@ThePilotDude Your right. Red Skull was departing from Germany and Wehrmacht policy, which was against suicide aircraft. That's why the Fi-103R, Daimler-Benz Projekt F, and Daimler-Benz Projekt E all had ejection methods, even though these would have unlikely to work successfully, and pilots of the former had to sign a paper saying that they knew there mission was suicidal.
@ThePilotDude
On the pictures that I've seen of the aircraft, there's always a seam between the nose of the aircraft where the bomb is, and the tail of the aircraft where the pilot and propeller is. Not only that, but there are fins on said seam. Anyone else thinks that means that the aircraft was not designed to be a Kamikaze aircraft, but instead was supposed to have the nose detach from the rest of the plane so that the pilot could return safely to the valkyrie? This method would be beneficial in the fact that it would preserve the life of the pilot, and it would allow the wings, engines, propeller and cockpit to be reused by simply attaching another nose to the aircraft.
@Mainblocks no you're not. just have a wall blocking off the Gunner position from the rest of the cockpit. Or just have the gun go through the cockpit by disabling aircraft collisions for the rear cockpit
@ThePilotDude Dude this is wonderful. Except the landing gear. One of the main reasons that I like the Wildcat over the Hellcat is because of the fact that the landing gears go into the side of the fuselage. However I'm still downloading this because it's beautiful. especially the way that you made the games cockpit looks so natural and realistic.
@AdlerSteiner Yay, you saw this post. Now how about looking at my other, more relevant one. https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/HD1TpF/Messerschmitt-BF-109-TL
@Alienbeef0421 Also, in some cases, the Builder has gained better expertise at building planes, and therefore wants to do a better version of the plane that he may have made a few months ago because he thinks it's not very good.
@TheGuyYouMightKnow I bought SP mobile! However since I don't have a phone I had to download it on my friends' phones, so I can only play it on the weekends and Fridays.
@ThePilotDude Yes, your right. And if I ever get the chance to make a BF-109-Z I will use your BF-109 to do it. But how exactly do I lengthen the nose? Do I add another section to it or do I somehow change the length of the nose piece itself?
@NewmanSTAR How did you program the Turret?

+1@ThePilotDude THANK YOU!! At last another BF-109-Z! And it actually looks good! You just earned yourself a follower!
+1@AdlerSteiner Copy that!
+1@Mainblocks Do you mind making a B7A please? With this level of accuracy I mean.
+1Can you make it a twin fuselage “zwilling” type aircraft like the BF-109-Z and HE-111-Z?
+1@Leopard2a8 283 is cooler. Looks like a Colonial Viper

Yeah. It would be nice if this aircraft could detach its nose section in that method.
@Stargazzer Your welcome!

@BMilan
What if I simply ignore your warning and aim the main weapon AS FAR DOWN AS POSSIBLE?

@Mainblocks Yes I did, that's why I say it not that hard. Once I find my phone I'll make a model of the rear gunner to show you.
@Mainblocks no you're not. just have a wall blocking off the Gunner position from the rest of the cockpit. Or just have the gun go through the cockpit by disabling aircraft collisions for the rear cockpit
@Mainblocks Why not?
@TomyStayer01 Link please? I looked but cant find it.
@Mainblocks can't you just make the rotating gun canopy and leave the interior as it is?
@TomyStayer01 Where?
@Gestour Please do you mind making a mod that lets us have a Chase view camera instead of us having to edit XML files.
@Mainblocks How's the B7A?
@Mostly Yay!
@Mostly How is it going?
@Weaverfish Where did you get the rotators for the landing gear?
@AdlerSteiner Oh.
@Mainblocks Also could you add a functioning. And turret canopy to your Judys?

@AdlerSteiner What do u mean by AI? Do you mean that it’s supposed to be flown by the AI in the game?
@ThePilotDude Got it!
For ships named after B-17s, they were pretty weak when versing TIE Fighters in that scene that they were in.

@Mostly OK!
@ThePilotDude Ok!
@ThePilotDude Can you make a BF-109-Z1? I was trying to do so myself(with another build, yours was to complicated), but it wasn't going too well.

@Leehopard Thanks!
@Leehopard If I want an engine powered model should I just use the successor that Tank6376 built? Will it have all the same features?
@Leehopard Why no engine?
Can it dive?
@ThePilotDude To hard. u do it.
@ThePilotDude Ok Thanks!

Can you please make the nose a little bit longer? It seems too short in comparison with the tail and the rest of the aircraft.
