[Stock] MAA-Apollon-X Supersonic Heavy Bomber

[Amavios]

Hello !

 

This is my newest craft ! It's an upgrade of my other craft called MAA-Apollon. This one is simpler, lighter and has a bigger fuel capacity. It has 4 breaking chute that will help a lot with short landings. However, it can easily land on the two runways !

I've found that the cruise altitude is around 19km, but maybe I am wrong...

Anyway, if you have any suggestion to upgrade it, to make it fly faster, or higher, I'll be happy !

VERY nice bomber. How high can it fly? How much ordnance can it carry? Any possible ordnance pylons outside of the bay?

Hi ! I managed to make it fly at 24km but it's not optimum. For the ordnance, I'm going to test it haha and for the pylons, in my idea the ordnance should be only contained in the bay, but I'm sure you can put some. I'll try it and tell you!

1. 24 kilos is just amazing, I could barely fly at ten when I had stock solar system.

2. I'd recommend you download PEW. BDA has like 3 weapons, all of which are generic as heck. So why drop bombs when you can guide them with GPS and lasers? What is this, the vietnam war?

3. I'd say it will be possible to put some small missiles/ cannons outside of the bomber. Maybe it can be a supersonic gunship, even better!

Badly, I've got a poor computer, and mods are making my fps go down as hell... Otherwise, it can carry 3 FL-T800 tanks in the bay and fly correctly. I tried to put some pylons, but the only place is the big wing, which is far at the rear, and anything that you add makes the CoM go back, and it results in a more unstable craft, and I doesn't like the look of it...

So, I won't be making modded versions, but you can do whatever you want with it and post the result here ! For the guns, maybe you can put some in the bay. You'll have to open it to fire.

 

Thanks for the feedback !

You're welcome. I just saw the huge amount of clearance under your aircraft, and thought it can be used for something. Now I see that the cargo bay's blocking the space.

Anyway, good bomber.

You only need 1 intake per engine all the other intakes are slowing you down, especially the radial ones at high speed/altitude

[Amavios]

Thanks for that ! I was sure I was needed more air to fly higher, I'm trying it !

That used to work in older versions, but a shock cone provides more than enough air at high speed altitude for a single engine now.
