Alright, and for the next battle, we have @NotAnAimbot's Novi defending its #2 slot against @MrChumley's ReSoup. Who will reign supreme? This battle was REALLY close, the Novi and the ReSoup are extremely competitive with each other. In the second round, had the ReSoup been able to compensate for an engine failure throwing off gun aim, it would have been the winner, but as it stands, the ReSoup stays in 3rd place, leaving the Novi in second.- 1,012 replies

@Earthlinger @53miner53 @NotAnAimbot @[INDO]dimas_1502 @HeroBrian_333 @MiffedStarfish @MrChumley @SuicidalInsanity @Joseph Kerman @drtricky @Thor Wotansen and anyone else i may have forgotten who has submitted a design: I want to do a special air battle for Christmas. IF anyone has a design for a reindeer and/or sleigh armed with missiles (this is unlimited class, have fun), i'd love to do a special roster fight of all the roster planes against santa and his reindeer. These do not necessarily have to follow rules, but shouldn't be made in such a way to be super op. This would not affect the roster in any way but would be for fun.- 1,012 replies

Just an FYI, for whoever subscribed to my youtube channel (thanks BTW), i list all these videos as private as i am a drone pilot and occasionally film videos i upload there. Alrighty, its time for some more battles. First battle of the day, we have the four-engined beast, @MrChumley's ReSoup up against @Thor Wotansen's Bryntroll. Who will win? In a pair of short but decisive battles, the Bryntrolls are knocked down to the #5 spot as the ReSoup claims the #4.- 1,012 replies

Last time i went looking for those files i got a 500 error on the download. Why not get rid of the IR (and the associated weight) and i can test your wings in both configs? BDA is not going to recognize a swing wing anyways.- 1,012 replies

And last battle for the night, we have @MrChumley's ReSoup up against @53miner53's delta dagger F3. Will the F3 continue to defend its spot in the roster, or will we have a new face to greet inbound fighters? In a stunning pair of battles, the ReSoup takes home the #5 spot on the roster. Next battle is looking like ReSoup vs Bryntroll, which will come around tomorrow evening most likely.- 1,012 replies

Its on how targeting is done. AIM-120 locks on radar and coordinates original lock with onboard radome, so it may target friendly, but it probably won't fire. AIM-9s target heat, whatever heat is in their scanning radius, friend or foe. If you point at the fighter a few clicks away and it sees the allied aircraft in broken formation down and right, then thats what it goes after. Thats why you hear that growling noise when aim-9s are seeking, low growl indicates no lock, and a high growl indicates a lock on something, Its a byproduct of this missile coming into service in...1956! with variants all down the line of course to modernize. *note, this is based on real-life and what i observe in fights. I am not BahamutoD and he may have things programmed differently.- 1,012 replies

And for my last battle for the day: we have @HeroBrian_333's Eurodart concept drone against @53miner53's F3mk2. In this case, the F3 comes out ahead, owing to superior maneuverability and gun handling, though a few gun kills never hurt.

And for our next battle of the day: i believe it's @MiffedStarfish's Messor f-42 up against the long-time missile spamming champion, @53miner53 F3Mk2. From the looks of things, the Messor is also a missile spamming fighter. But with two fewer engines, can the Messor outspam the F3? In this case, the optionally manned F-42d is outfoxed by the F3 and its superior maneuvering/missiles also @miffedstarfish is your name supposed to be translated to australian?- 1,012 replies

And for the final battle for the Novi, the battle with our current #1, DrTricky's Dorito. The dorito is the only aircraft to earn its spot from a turreted aircraft, but can it defeat the novi? As we see in Battle two and three, the Novi's choice of an all-infrared missile compliment is its undoing, as it shoots down its own aircraft in an already difficult battle. The Dorito keeps its crown, as the Novi settles in at the No. 2 slot.- 1,012 replies

Alrighty, and for our next battle, we have the Sanngrior going up against @NotAnAimbot's Novi. The Novi has proved itself quite proficient in combat, but can it win out for the auto-jump to the #2 spot? Indeed, the Novi continues its meteoric climb, making its way to the #2 spot previously vacated in the Turret debacle. So as it stands, our roster is: @drtricky's Dorito @NotAnAimbot's Novi Aero @Thor Wotansen's Sanngrior drone @Thor Wotansen's Bryntroll @53miner53's Fighter 3- 1,012 replies

Battle three is here: In the left corner, we have @Thor Wotansen's Bryntroll defending its #4 spot. In the right, @NotAnAimbot's Novi Aero fighter. Both of these are lightweight , aggressive little beasts, but who will win? In a stunning victory, the Bryntroll has been defeated, leaving the Novi in 4th place, and the Bryntroll, the original first place aircraft, as the plane to beat to enter the roster! @HeroBrian_333- 1,012 replies

Last exam was today. Need to work on a project in a couple hours, but otherwise the hard stuff is done. Alright, for battle two, we have the lightweight aggressor, @NotAnAimbot's Novi Aero, a single-engine, high-performance fighter designed to take down everything. On the other side, we have the heavyweight missile sled, @53miner53's Fighter 3 mk2. Who will win? Who will lose? In a stunning battle, the highly-aggressive Novi fighter steals the win and the #5 spot @HeroBrian_333- 1,012 replies

Well, i said sunday was going to be the big day for combat. Well For our first (official) battle of the day, we have the KAI & PTDI KF-X/IF-X Redux from @[INDO]dimas_1502. Its a scale model of a joint project aircraft made in S. Korea, armed to the teeth and ready to fight. On the other side is the time-tested Fighter 3 MK2, the missile-slinging delta dagger. Who will win? Thanks to the KAI's lack of maneuverability and lack of aggression with its armament, it gets taken out 1-6 by the F3.- 1,012 replies

Also noticed this in Bryntroll. A quicksave may need to be placed in air instead of on the ground for testing, though i don't believe the Bryntroll will be on the roster for much longer.- 1,012 replies

Okay, so you guys have been waiting for a while, and @NotAnAimbot and i have been trash talking each others taste in design for long enough. Here's a noncannon battle between a pair of aircraft that could probably each top the roster in their own rights. On one end of the KSC we have Aimbot's LF-18 Novi, a lightweight but aggressive fighter based around a prototype Yugoslavian fighter. Armed with a pair of Vulcans and four AIM-9s, its designed around high maneuverability and low profile. On the other end of the field, we have my Mini Val, designed as a miniaturized XB-70 and armed with an absolutely excessive six AIM-120 AMRAAM and four vulcans. NOTE: THIS BATTLE IS NONCANNON. It is a direct conflict of interest to design the aircraft i test, though this may need to be waved if no one is available to test the Val when the time comes.- 1,012 replies
