Hummingbird Mk 2a v2

Point count: 69

[Alphasus]

Would this guy qualify?

If I counted right, it hits 59 points.

It's the first fighter I've built to perform effectively and I want to know how he does against something dedicated. Comes with an inline radome, 2 chaff dispensers and 3 flares for utility, and the armament should be obvious, except for 1 hidden Vulcan under the Nacelle serving as a rear gunner.

Yeah, that works! Good luck, 8.5/10 originality for a similar armament and body but different everything else.

[Xannari Ferrows]

Well, here he is if you want him.

[Alphasus]

Tournament overview: We are going to allow 8 planes. The high demand was surprising for this tournament, so I will have 4 matches to record on our first day. It may take 2 weekends.

The tournament will start in 2 days. Everyone may now submit 1 extra plane of their own design, and I will choose what gets in via originality points.

I was planning on making an armored plane but I don't have my computer. Next time maybe

[Alphasus]

Snowflake

[dangerouspeople1]

I think you used the wrong version of my devil too, I sent you the new one and I remember I changed the angle of the wings, maybe try look at the private message. If it's the same, then ignore it

[Alphasus]

It was the same, but I will fix it for your next match.

[dangerouspeople1]

Ok then, I think I sent the wrong file then, my bad

[gag09]

They said going all guns was a bad idea I showed them.

[dangerouspeople1]

Just use 40 pts for counter measures and the rest for GAU - 8s and ammo box.

[gag09]

That's what I did except I used 8 chain guns.

[dangerouspeople1]

Actually which kind of gun is the best, GAU-8 have the highest firing rate( I think) but you cannot put as much of it as other guns like vulcans. So.. which is better?

Btw, this thread is nearing 100 pages.

[gag09]

I like the chainguns they seem to be better at long range.

[War Eagle 1]

Couple of Questions

1. Does the person hosting have to record the video? (I am unable to do that.)

2. Can the craft have reaction wheels if they get turned off?

3. If I submit a few crafts can they be reviewed first to insure they are good to be used?

4. If I'm not hosting do I have to record?

2. Yes.

3. It depends on if it is during the tournament.

4. You may be requested to,at which point it is your choice.

Yes, I am filming the video in the weekends. This tournament will be done by the end of next week if all goes well.

[Alphasus]
