[ASC-III] Air Superiority Challenge - King of the Hill (BDArmory 4v4 AI Duels: WW1 Theme) - Now Concluded!

[Draconiator]

I think I'm going to rebuild my ASC III entry...I went "Dawn of Aviation"-like without thinking about it, lol

 

And thus, I give you the Kerbwith Super Llama:

Quite funny. The F-2X has missing ailerons on one side due to me forgetting symmetry toggle, but still manages to kick ass.

@DoctorDavinci-

But isn't choosing a appropriate weapons system an integral part of plane design?

The way I see it, we can challenge 2 things- designer's ability to build a craft for a specific weapons system, or the ability to use all the parts of systems engineering to create a good design.

As much a it as painful to fight against, I think that the Vulture/VulcaRaptors are a good example of the second. I've never been in favor of more constraints, because I think that too many can lead to cookie-cutter planes.

@inigma- for what it's worth, my vote is for the AA guns.

 

[Draconiator]

Hmmmmm yep I think these are ready.  they justr needed a minor change; I relocated the guns from the cowl to the wings...these're ready.

 

 

[jrodriguez]

Is there any ASC-III planes ready? I'd like to do some tests

I want this to be WWI style dogfighting. I'm thinking 50 parts is also a bit much (I can make a good fighter under 30) but in a pinch it does ok.

Expand  

yeah, you can with ease make a 30-parts plane, but i fear that we're all going to have similar planes. i like the idea of 50 parts, it's not like it's going to hurt anybody.

[CoywolfGaming]

I am just wondering, but does anyone know if the HARM missiles are allowed?

For ASC-3? No way. It is going to be WWI style.

[CoywolfGaming]

Sorry i must have been reading the wrong section. I was thinking about the first section, so when it comes around again i can sumit my fighter.

Well, if you have the latest Firespitter installed, I have a Red Baron Fokker DR1 ready to rock. It's fairly period accurate in terms of speed and maneuverability.

[Draconiator]

hmmm, turns out mine isn't ready after all, found a flaw in the taildragging aspect, and had to put a small wheel on. it's okay now though thank goodness.

[JollyGreenGI]

So uh... no one has uploaded any of their designs for ASC-III yet. I had to get a bit, creative, in testing.

That thing is AWESOME. I was gonna do a triplane also, but now I may have to do a quadplane, or even hexplane

So if we include Aviator Arsenal to the mod list, would you recommend any restrictions on weapons?

[inigma]

Sad news.  Looks like BDArmory might no longer be in development.

Current competition is closed, the next one is WWI-era planes.

[gag09]

Well someone might pick it up and continue development.

Nothing's official yet, but that's likely. Currently it's KAX and BDArmory's .50 cal Brownings.

Loadout can be of any type, as long as you can find an example of a plane fitting it in the 1903 (Kitty Hawk) to 1918 (German capitulation) period, having similar engine power and weight as yours.
