Welp, hopefully the Berzerkers can hold out a bit the way the Lancers did....
Oh, i haven't updated it yet. The f-99, then the trigger took the #5

Will you add weapons and countermeasures if we tell the armament layout and positions of everything?
No. These are your designs, you need to arm them and test them. There is a lot i can screw up trying to make changes to your aircraft.

That's got me excited to see how my entry fared. And AC/DC in the background was epic!
Something that might help, is keeping unused mods in a separate folder when you don't need them. I've got probably around 30 Mods on my computer, I just click and drag them in and out depending on which ones I want/need.
Thats a good idea. Thanks!
6 hours ago, Earthlinger said:Hm, no...
I'm happy with the Berzerker as it is. There's a new plane in the works (the Ripsaw, but it's been in the works for some time now lol) and I'll eventually submit that one.
Someday
Hey, whenever you get it around, i'd love to test it
2 hours ago, [INDO]dimas_1502 said:the entire thread more like "Fighter Missile Competition"
Guns get a staggering majority of the kills here, missiles really are just for tactics (routing, breaking attacks). Though watch the vids you will see yourself
1 hour ago, [INDO]dimas_1502 said:i mean the missiles fight each other
Well maybe with the f-99 but most of these aircraft are very agile. Though i suppose we will see how this rings when eidahlil's cookie comes to fight

Ow...
Nothing lasts forever on here. Perhaps berzerker 3.0 will stick around a little longer?

Next up, we have @Steve Kerman's Trigger, what appears to be a pretty faithful recreation of a late model SU-27 variant. Unlike most of the scale only aircraft that show up here, this guy does have some bite, as @silversliver's F-99 got to experience
However, going up against @Eidahlil Pike is a bit of a different story. Where the Trigger excels with missiles against the F-99, the Pike forces the Trigger to use its guns, which like most stock-alike aircraft, are realistically weak with a single cannon. But it is enough to secure a #5 spot on the board.
And thanks to the gauntlet of mods that will need to be installed to get the next couple aircraft running, this is where i'll be calling it a night. Until next time
-
Alrighty, next up we have the F-99, @silversliver's creation. This kind of looks like someone got confused halfway on the drawing board and had to ask "wait, are we building a missile or a fighter" and the answer was
Up first against @Earthlinger's Berzerker 2.0...
It does way better than i anticipated, wiping out the Berzerkers with precision gunfire. But will @Eidahlil's Pike Clamped get the same treatment?
no, it gets the opposite, routed by the Pike's AIM-9, the F-99 gets destroyed by the Pikes, securing it a nice, temporary home in the #5 spot. Welcome to the roster, silver

i'll set my own schedule, thanks
2 minutes ago, goduranus said:He could be busy or sth. If you're in a hurry it's pretty easy to upload your own dogfight videos.
This.
Lets do this
In a surprisingly touch challenge, the Du-1b put the clamps on the clamps. @Eidahlil's newly detuned creation cannot deal with the multi-winged DU-1b.
Berzerker 2.0was surprisingly more one-sided, as @Earthlinger's creations a whoopin at the hands of the Du-1b
Well, for all the possibilities @dundun92's creation had, @goduranus Rabid Squirrels made Du-1bris of the Du-1b, retaining its spot at #2 after adjusting for the Pike's withdrawal, and sitting the Du-1b at a nice, comfy #3. The only words i have to describe these rabid little buggers are steely-eyed missile men, really exploiting their missiles in battle 2.

Speaking of which, @exbyde, I think the Pachycephalosaurus deserves a honorable mention. "Hydra" maybe? Or "Nietzsche poster plane" ("that which does not kill me, makes me stronger")?
Phoenix perhaps?
4 hours ago, GillyMonster said:ECM is allowed on here?
Read rules. Yes, but any form of radar jammer from outside of BDA is forbidden atm (there is a mod with something called ru plasma that makes aircraft not show up on radar at all)

You are still on my suspect list btw.
8 hours ago, goduranus said:@exbyde I don't mind a bit of bias you have for your own craft, it's just homefield advantage like in every other sport. If you got planes you should put it in too.
I've got one, i'll submit it eventually

Welcome, ZLM! There's no close on submissions, I've just been busy. Though i would definitely recommend having some of the other guys look at your design, @Eidahlil, @Earthlinger, or the dundun bros @dundun92 @dundun93 would be good folks to talk to

Mini Val?...
Literally the only aircraft i have submitted (i have another design i could submit, not going to due to queue and coi), mentioned numerous times it was my design, left craft files up in posts so people could test my results.

Is this thread up to date? Am rginking of joining, but I want to know if there is a huge backlog of planes to be tested or something like that. (Like the KSP regional jet challenge)
There's a backlog. I try to run tests (usually 7 or 8 rounds) 2-3 times a week, so its not going to be a huge backlog. Current oldest entry is the F-99 at 2 weeks old. The queue is available on the first page, 3rd post.

40 minutes ago, SuicidalInsanity said:
Mmm. I used the Minival since it was midway up the Manned ranking, and you wanted a SW craft for either roster. It's been a while, so it's entirely possible I missed a rule change somewhere that craft have to do the unlimited before manned roster; if so, then yeah, some redesign may be needed.
All aircraft are tested for unlimited. Any manned aircraft also get tested for manned as well.

No windows but the pilot gets in and out of the capsule by standing on one of the Vulcans while the Service Bay is open.

Lmao! Yeah ill throw that on the queueue
1 hour ago, SuicidalInsanity said:I think this should work for the manned category, test run it downed the Minival fairly easily: TIE Interceptor.
Minival isn't much any more, sad to say, but ill test it out.
-
6 hours ago, dundun92 said:
I created the D because I thought manned aircraft don't go up the unlimited... yeah, keep the original.
Manned is just a way to keep manned fighters viable, since everyone is going drones/micro drones now. If your aircraft has a cockpit its automatically elligible
9 minutes ago, HeroBrian_333 said:Let me guess, you have a new plane?
He's probably not happy that i told him to rename his aircraft because it translates to bleeping cake from Finnish.

Thanks for the reply. Are heat seekers something I should leave out for the sake of these competitions? It's just irritating when aircraft chase each other in a straight line and don't do anything.
Heat seekers are very valuable (See the Pike). if you equip any missiles i would equip at least one heat seeker, as they aren't deterred by cross section like the AMRAAMs.
13 minutes ago, GillyMonster said:I kind of find it funny craft called the Crusader and Hell Blade are in the same testing queue right next to each other.
well good thing they'll probably wind up in a face/off.
-
Ok queue is up to date, and will probably start being flown monday or perhaps tomorrow. @Steve Kerman I did not forget your entry, the last queue update was the x-99, the aircraft posted just before yours. @dundun92 unless you think there is a significant performance discrepancy between the DU-3 and DU-3d, i'm going to just test the DU-3. Entry to the unlimited category is guaranteed if your aircraft meets the rules, the manned category is only special in that your aircraft isn't optionally manned (i.e. flown by a probe core and has no seating/ a lawnchair only cockpit like suicidalinsanity's designs.)

All of them? you're welcome to go through the old page and this one if you like. I'm about to update the queue.

I do have a question seeing as how I'm in the company of dogfighters, in testing my builds, they have a habit of flying in a straight line at top speed, and whoever is behind won't/can't engage. Is there an aggression setting or something that can help prevent this?
No, not really. If you look back on the old dogfights before radar cross section (RCS) was a factor, you would get aircraft that scattered due to missiles, would re-lock on targets, and the real guns-on dogfights would begin. Instead, everyone reduces their RCS so no one can get a missile lock, aircraft never scatter unless heatseekers are involved, and if they are, you wind up with friendly fire incidents. Routing, where enemy aircraft would wind up scattering and turning away to avoid missiles, giving the opposing aircraft time to lock on, nearly never happens anymore and you just wind up with these head on dogfights.
2 hours ago, l0kki said:No, my original intention was just to use nukes to nuke all of the sunfish while on the ground for theatrics/comedy. You can't use nuclear weapons, primarily because there is no scenario where the use of a nuclear weapon would result in anything but a draw/Pyrrhic victory.

Will throw in an honorable mention if anyone manages to model a competitive (i.e. can rank on the manned or unlimited roster) fighter from any of the star wars movies.
But i can know if i'm still abble the build something ^^

your appreciation is noted.
When you work at a computer repair place, those issues show up several times a week from people calling the tech support scams. I suppose i could have used "tech support scammer" instead.
There have been a few, the implementation tends to be blah. I would say best would be extreme maneuverability within the flight envelope, good guns and a heatseeker.
