[SHOWCASE] A Depository of Creations - Planes of War (B-6 Jester Supersonic MegaBomber)

[Kingtj44]

K-71 "Prisma" Heavy Supersonic Bomber

Stats:

Powerplant: 8x Turbojet engines

Weight: 63 tonnes fully fueled

Armament: 10x large warheads, conventional or nuclear

Top speed: 1050 m/s

Service Ceiling: 21,000 meters

Range: Can easily circumnavigate Kerbin

Crew: 3 .... 1 pilot, 1 copilot, 1 bombardier/electronics officer

Stability: Moderate

Maneuverability: Poor

Durability: Average

Parts: 299

Description: A very heavy, fast bomber, capable of delivering a very large payload all the way around Kerbin...there are few weapons more devastating. This bomber is supersonic, which already makes it faster than many low-altitude fighters, and features a large payload of large semi-guided warheads (The warheads have guidance computers). The craft is so large that large and stronger munitions are needed to take it down. Thankfully its service ceiling, range, and speed put it out of the range of all but the most effective interceptors. Control is difficult under 5000m since the aircraft tends to want to yaw to the right due to KSP's ineffective control surfaces getting mixed up with different control inputs, but this problems goes away in thinner air above 5000m. Bombs can be dropped and fuel completely drained, and the craft will stay balanced and functional. In case of emergency, the abort button has been programmed to shut off the craft's engines and eject all 3 crew members, each featuring a parachute for a safe landing. We are proud to present this plane as my most advanced bomber and promotional craft.

K-15 "Shooting Diamond" Hypersonic Air-superiority Fighter

Stats:

Powerplant: 1x Turbojet engines

Weight: 3.7 tonnes fully fueled

Armament: 2x medium-range air-to-air missiles

Top speed: 1550 m/s

Service Ceiling: 23,500 meters

Range: Just barely intercontinental

Crew:1 ... 1 Pilot

Stability: Excellent

Maneuverability: Excellent

Durability: Poor

Parts: 23

Description: This aircraft is simple yet elegant. It is extremely fast and very very maneuverable, with the edition of a standard ejection system for the pilot, of course. This energy fighter has the ability to take down enemy fighters at almost every height and speed with ease. However, the small range of this craft makes it ineffective against long-range escorts, interceptors, and bombers. The small armament of 2 missiles also makes it helpless against larger aircraft which need multiple hits to destroy, such as the K-71. When all is said and done, however, the K-15 is a fighter's worst nightmare, and even a single hit from one of the missiles will rip most fighters in half. The K-15 has speed, service ceiling and maneuverability on most other fighters, making it the perfect fighter-killer.

 

B-6 "Jester" Supersonic MegaBomber

Powerplant: 14x Whiplash Turbo Ramjet Engines

Cost: 322,383

Weight: 391 tonnes fully fueled and armed

Armament (Standard Loadout 87 tonnes/ 191,802 lbs): 80x JDAM 1000lb bombs, 16x Cluster Bombs, 32x AGM-86C Cruise Missiles

Defense: 4x dual-barrel .50 cal turrets, chaff, flares, ECM pod

Top speed: 1250 m/s (Mach 3.64)

Service Ceiling: 30,000 meters

Cruising Altitude: 20,000 meters

Range: Can easily circumnavigate Kerbin

Crew: 2 ... 1 pilot, 1 copilot/weapons officer

Stability: High

Maneuverability: Good

Durability: Average

Length: 44.9 meters

Wingspan: 45.5 meters

Parts: 299 (With armament) 155 (Without armament)

 

Description: The B-6 Jester was a long time in the making. An absolutely legendary aircraft capable of carrying many times the amount of ordinance of normal bombers, and at 3 times the speed. This is truly one of the most effective bombers in the world, with a global strike capability and incredible response time. Much of the development of the B-6 focused on handling, both in high-speed and low-speed. The B-6 was obsessively constructed and is more stable than many fighters. In fact, the B-6 can turn in full force even at 300 m/s and sustain no damage whatsoever, which is incredible given the size of this beast. Despite its amazing qualities, we also wanted the B-6 to be practical. As such, it features a steerable front wheel for easy taxiing, and a SureStop system comprised of airbrakes and special landing gear stopping mechanisms so that this quick aircraft can land even on small runways. The B-6 is fast. Incredibly fast. In level flight at lower altitudes it can reach Mach 1, and at its cruising altitude it can easily reach 1250 m/s. 

Flying this bomber is simple. Ascend with an AoA of 10 degrees to about 15,000 meters. Then level out and speed up to mach 3.64. Then proceed to climb gradually to 20,000 meters and level out for long-distance flight. For combat (if desired), cut throttle to 50% and drop altitude to 8000 meters for more reliable bomb targeting. Obviously do not do crazy turns at incredibly high speeds or else your craft will spontaneously disassemble. However, feel free to maneuver very aggressively at low altitudes and at speeds of Mach 1 or lower.

Controls: 1 Toggle ladder, 2 Open bomb bays, 8 Fire chaff, 9 Fire flares

Prisma heavy bomber has been upgraded with more bombs, faster top speed, and less parts. A medium bomber and interceptor are currently in the works, stay tuned.

I'm proud to announce that a new Flying Wing type stealth bomber has been completed and is currently undergoing testing for stability.

That bomber is HUGE. Loving it, very cool! Does it have a max tested payload (or is that a company secret? )?

Your air-superiority fighter...is terrifying. I imagine them deployed in numbers for greatest effectiveness; swarm tactics! Would it not be a little more like an interceptor due to range? All in all, really cool ship, definitely seems like an awesome little zipper.

Hmm oddly I have never actually tried finding the maximum weight that the bombers can haul, but now I will find out soon. However, I do know that amoung these bombers, the "Tiger" stealth Bomber will be the fastest, have the highest service ceiling and the largest wingspan. The k-71 will still have the largest payload and largest over all size and the longest range. Unfortunatly the medium bomber does not really hold any records but it is also the least developed.

This is a picture of (from left to right) the "Prisma" heavy bomber, the "Godsend" medium bomber, and the "Tiger" stealth bomber, respectively.

Here is a closer picture of the upcoming stealth bomber, however be aware that several changes to the design have been made since this screenshot.

Not sure if you know, but bumping really old threads can get them locked

Maybe, but this is his own showcase thread, very, very old, but still...

@Kingtj44 I like the "Jester", smooth build.

Keep em coming.
