Time to bring out my good old heavy bomber tonight. Still have to figure out how to get it down from 15km with bombs in it, though....

Would KJR be allowed?

A light bomber seems like much more fun to design and fly! Once those weight limits get added, I'ma make one!

Behold, the behemoth, Super-Bomber! (Don't pick on it! I'm not very good at names!) At three days of work, this is probably my most worked on project in KSP. (FFX took a respectable share of the days, though.) Mods used: FAR (I cannot live without it!) KJR (There isn't a way to make big aircraft in FAR without it, I tried at first, and I absolutely despise the Mk 3's weakness. More often than not it would just break apart on the runway.) ATM (I still crashed a few times) If you really, really, want to attempt to fly this thing.... well.... here ya go! <iframe class="imgur-album" width="100%" height="550" frameborder="0" src="//imgur.com/a/cXeFi/embed"></iframe> (I have no idea if this will work, but it says "embed" and I may as well try it. If not: http://imgur.com/a/cXeFi#0) More BOOM: 128 bombs stored in the cargo bays. (128-6)*12 = 1464 One hundred convincing arguments: Who needs those six extra bombs counted in? +20 Swift payback: FAR is such a help! 446.5*0.1 = 44.65 Engine maintenance: Only 46 turbojets! 46*-4 = -184 Nuclear maintenance: Nope. +0 Part maintenance: This was so much fun.... 882*-0.02 = -17.64 Fastest bomber award: Nope, but I was pretty close at 22:31! +0 Airshow maneuverability: The most I ever got was around 7 G's. +0 Gentle giant: It can do this easily! +20 Flashy technology: Is it even possible to VTOL capability on a plane that's just under 769 metric tons? +0 You feeling lucky, VAB?/Dynamic Demonstration of Force: I could easily do this, but I'm done flying it! +0 Where Eagles Dare: It was scary landing on the runway! +0 Career switch: It could probably (95% confidence) take a 200 metric ton (the 128 bombs were just over 300 metric tons) rocket, haul it up to 20k, bring it to Mach 3 (at least; it got Mach 4 with the 128 bombs), and then launch it. I am not sitting through that, however. +0 Worldwide coverage: No more than 15k??!? But my bomber likes it better at 17-20k! I don't think it would be able to do this anyways. +0 SPACE bomber: I had an SSTO that took ~250 metric tons of payload into orbit; it just used totally overpowered SABRE engines! +0 That's no moon... Not anymore: This could be an interesting challenge.... I'm pretty sure the number of bombs makes up for it though. +0 Service ceiling: 19k is preferable. +15 Field refueling: A docking port is placed on the front of the cockpit. +10 Field rearming: Docking ports take up too much space! +0 Operational ability: Nope. +0 Battleduck: How would this thing even hope to float?!! +0 Such stealth, very sneak: Nope +0 Inspired shape: Yay! A whole two points!!! +2 Total: 1374.01 I think I've got a good reason to be proud of that.

I have a 40 hour peninsula run to do... and not because its slow, either...
