I have so many questions.(oh no)
-How do you take off from the runway with this plane?
-How do you fly level? Do I need to pull the stick up hard?
-How does the pilot fire the machine guns if he taps the button and it just...glows???
-Why does this plane underperform so badly?
@Nerfenthusiast my plane is really agile and fast but I'm not sure if it will be good enough, it does look a bit like an extra 300 but... really...I suck at hiding planes for looks.
I'm really more on to playing this challenge rather than the prize. So I don't mind if you didn't give me the prize if I win...But it's not very likely anyway.
@Irobert55 and yes...The me262 did fare well pilots have claimed to have downed 30 b17 bombers with its r4m rockets, but all me262 variants actually shot down 542 allies aircraft. Calculate that and it really isn't effective at all.
@Irobert55 what? Aim them like gunfire? That's why it's so hard? You see, don't aim like gunfire because the rocket is a lower velocity weapon. You should note that I had to lead all the way ahead to kill that bush plane right? It's why it's this hard. If you aim like gunfire you'll miss every time because the rockets will simply go behind the target. The skill part comes is patience, positioning and leading just right. It's really hard trust me @Irobert55.
Plus, the velocity of the plane doesn't affect rockets in this game so rockets on the me262 wouldn't not affect the difficulty and effectiveness at all. It's harder too because the jet is less maneuverable, extremely fast and the rockets in this game hardly even equal to guns. In order to have a higher chance of hitting a target with rockets. You must:
- make sure you pick an easy to kill target.( In my case, the bush plane. If your plane is fast, maybe light/medium/heavy bombers)
- Make sure the target isn't maneuvering any direction except straight.
- position of fire has to be the largest area of the target.(as I mentioned in previous comments, the wings)
- you must be faster than your target.
- you must have enough maneuverability to be able to avoid an air collision and maneuver into a position.
- you have to lead the target extremely far.
All these are hard for any plane. It's hard for a fast plane to be maneuverable. On the other hand, maneuverable planes are usually slow.
Then, you must be able to fit lots of rockets on your plane. And finally, you must learn to aim the guns before trying it. So the advanced targeting mod will be obsolete for this job. So...If you want to try this in sp. It works, but good luck even killing a single air target.
Also, as I said before...Why not just use guns? All those problems wouldn't exist if you could rely on guns instead.
@Irobert55 however if you want AI to also use it...Well I hate to say but why not just use guns? They're way more effective and can hit a target even when they're moving. Rockets are unreliable for air to air engagement even if you are against a bomber.
@Irobert55 I shot it down...You just have to be really close(about 0.1mi or less) and set the detachers to 0%.
The funny thing was...
-my plane was too slow so I used the bush plane instead.
- I fitted 40 dumb rockets but I fired one and I killed the bush plane.
- it took me ages to do because it was difficult to hit the back of a plane, I realised that if you hit the plane from above or below you have a better chance of a hit.
Hmm...I usually don't think about depression but since you mentioned it...I'm thinking about the bad things again...(End of comment because I don't want to talk about sad things because I have depression for years because let's just go to the happy things ok? Because screw this me and this sad topic I don't want to think I have depression)
I do have problems using ground pounding weapons as air to air weapons, I wanted my heavy fighter to use the cannon for air targets and ground targets but it uses boom 50s. It can't lock and I can't track and I've only hit an air target once during testing.
Is this a mod?? Awesome anyway.
Does it have to be a replica?
@Dimkal ok then.
Amazing plane btw! I feel like it's gonna win and I want to upvote it.
Lol it takes the name of an Italian bomber without the X.
I have so many questions.(oh no)

@Nerfenthusiast that's nice!!! Really nice!!! honestly I was just guessing :)
@poopatron71 lol he made one XD
@poopatron71 the stalling problems were fixed btw.
@poopatron71 it's now a successor of the previous plane, I guess you can check it out if you want.
@poopatron71 may I have two entrys please?
I bet this is just jundroos P-51 but altered.
Why are I-16s on this site so OP?
Just lol
@Destroyer5713 lol haha XD maybe it was before the Spanish civil war! Plus it's a 1920s challenge!
打刀？ Like...You chinese or something? Try using 拼音keyboard, maybe that would work.
@poopatron71 if you notice better, it does suffer from a bit of a stall problem... Which is caused by the close center of lift to center of mass.
@DPSAircraftManufacturer which one?
Made it! Took a screenshot of it too.
Ju-88? I assume? Thought that was a light bomber...Whatever it's the same thing. Or similar.
I'm gonna try one.
@DerekSP so do we need to make our own towing cable?
Lol why is it bigger than bv238 models XD
Lol it's something I've been figuring too.(I decided to not care)
Somewhat this site is welsh and probably so is simple planes.
Oh no...Did the mustang remix virus just spread? Nah jk.
Btw I remember that p51 from the previous guy who make it.
Can I change the engine?
I'm really more on to playing this challenge rather than the prize. So I don't mind if you didn't give me the prize if I win...But it's not very likely anyway.
I'll see what I can do...

Where's mine? Guess it didn't qualify huh...Why though?
@Irobert55 nah it doesn't matter what rocket you take... It's very hard to hit a moving target with rockets.
You may not be able to use negative mass...However you can use negative fuel to simulate it.
What is it?
@MIWTheGamer tweet! I'm looking forward to it!
@Irobert55 however if you want AI to also use it...Well I hate to say but why not just use guns? They're way more effective and can hit a target even when they're moving. Rockets are unreliable for air to air engagement even if you are against a bomber.

@Irobert55 well I'll try firing rockets in the default bomber...
@Minecraftpoweer I do have a few crazy inventions. Some crazy enough to break the game
@TheRussianBrothers69 oh...Sorry that was too obvious wasn't it too many communists in this challenge lol XD
I'm not sure whether this counts.........................................................................Maybe a helicopter?
@Minecraftpoweer yeah...Love exploring and exploiting game mechanics.
@TheRussianBrothers69 yeah I do actually...Is it German or Russian exactly?
@BaconEggs that's...Another solution...Oh wait I don't think that counts XD
@MIWTheGamer nope, but I've seen so many videos on it.
Wow... Thanks... Although this was not the prototype I was mentioning, it uses unmodded engines but goes fast.
Hmm...I usually don't think about depression but since you mentioned it...I'm thinking about the bad things again...(End of comment because I don't want to talk about sad things because I have depression for years because let's just go to the happy things ok?

What do you exactly want? Equip rockets and have air targets in site? Or have rockets be able to hit planes? Or something else? Not sure.
@BaconEggs I figured out that it doesn't work. There's a chance the engine will have an afterburner.
