I'm trying to test against the Flaming Tiger... they keep crashing into each other.... *sigh*

[DoctorDavinci]

Question ... Is this competition going to be done using competition mode?

Reason I ask is due to competition mode changing the parameters of my design ... Whether it takes off like a screamer or if it can account for the delay in engagement created by competition mode

Although I have another question ... what is the separation distance that will be used?

@inigma I will (probably) be next to challenge the Flaming Tigers, but only as soon as I stabilize my jet trio

[inigma]

I've updated my Battle Dove with a slightly better AI pilot to cancel out the wild oscillations on gun passes. Now it can eat VulcaRaptors on a single pass. KerbalX updated.

I formally submit vulcaraptor. I have read all the rules and tested against previous koth. Please download the latest before the match.

I am away from my gaming pc so I have to hope the latest version can deal with battle dove without further modification.

[gag09]

I formally submit the Swift III https://kerbalx.com/gag09/Swift-III. It has been tested and is worthy of the name.

Battle Dove updated once again with even better AI. 

 

Match recording tonight!

[JollyGreenGI]

I hesitantly submit the TAM-Y22U 'Super Fiesta'. Tested against the current KOTH, I expect it to be competitive.

If the droptanks don't detach, there may be a problem.

[inigma]

First match of ASC-II is now posted!

inigma challenges captjo, the Pretender to the Throne, for the crown. See who wins:

 

 

 

[JollyGreenGI]

@inigma Is it just me, or does the first video cut out early?

[Jollyfellow]

Welp, I might submit my original designs instead of my recent ones because they don't want to cooperate...

[xoknight]

Alrighty, revised it again, hopefully up to par with some of the planes here. I have tested it against the current KOTH. Hopefully it does better in the real combat than in the tests. https://kerbalx.com/xoknight/Yak-41-Super-Camel

[Draconiator]

To enter this thing in the current version, I may just weaponize a stock craft...because KAX is not co-operating with me

[Box of Stardust]

Man, are AMRAAMs even worth it with all the supermaneuverability going around?

And does ECM even have any noticeable effect?

AMRAAMs are good for putting your opponent on the defensive, but will rarely hit a maneuverable jet unless overextended.

ECM makes it harder to get locked on, you'll notice your radar flickering when your opponent uses it. I'm not sure if it's worth the extra mass though.

[Draconiator]

Beware, my ASC II entry is on the stove

it cut out early.  bad recording, but my son and I watched it, and rather than running another take he was fine with it as is. 

[Draconiator]

Muskrat is almost finished, I need to pit her up against the current King first.  Video soon.

[jrodriguez]

Also one question for @inigma It is KAX allowed in this serie? Firespitter has been released for 1.1 and I have tested KAX with it and it suffers from the same problem with landing gears ( I didn't find any other issues yet).

But, I like the KAX wings and I'd like to use them if it is possible

Anything in the KAX install is permissible.

Huh, seems the laser meta is finally broken.

I'm gonna combat test my Su-47 for now, then maybe get it here. I think the new rules really made the competition more realistic and plane-based instead of AIM-120 spamming.

I'll leave it here for now: XF-3 Thunder. Staging activates engines, ECM and autopilot.
