WW2 Defense Contract

WW2 Defence Contract/ Warbird Build Challenge

 

Is anyone interested in a WW2 aircraft build challenge using BDarmoury and airplane plus? 

I was thinking maybe in the style of companies battling for the defence contracts after an invasion similar to the WW2 arms race.

We could build aircraft for classes such as Fighters, Attackers and Bombers and score them based on performance for its class and look/realism (I love warbirds made using command seats and custom made cockpits for realism)

I don't know how to make one of these fancy looking pages with nice pictures and everything but if anyone is interested and wants to help me set it up let me know.

Sounds good, but what would be the part count limit for this?

I have plenty of ww2-esque fighters though a lot of them are fairly high part count.

Cool planes mate. How do you add the pictures? I'd like to add some rules and stuff for judging if you're interested

Using the DLC instead of AP+ is ok, right?

could use breaking ground. I don't have the making history though.

nice plane! I found the browning machine guns do next no damage so I added the the Vulcan hidden and nerfed it to 250 rounds per minute

Good to know. I agree that the brownings have a hard time actually taking out parts. I have found that locked M230s are pretty deadly against weaker parts. And vaguely realistic for late WWII cannons in terms of gun mass, fire rate, and caliber. Although even so we're talking Me-262 armaments but with buffed muzzle velocity, not, e.g. Spit armaments. If you want historical weaponry, download aviators arsenal and then set damage multiplier to like 300 to 1000.

Oh I think you might need a patch. Look at BAD-T 5 to find the link to said patch if I remember right.

It can climb vertically. It can reach 150 m/s with no prop adjustments. It can pull high G turns above 80 m/s. I designed it to be compatible with a different challenge though so, f.e. motor power set lower than normal.
