Known Issues/Known Suggestions

Spoiler

 

Issues

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• It doesn't fly as high as I would have hoped (I was hoping over 10,000 Meters)
• It doesn't go as fast as I would have hoped (I was hoping for it to start burning up)
• The back cargo bay bombs for the stock version are not very aerodynamic and flip in the air
• You have to denotate the Warhead on the BDArmory version

Suggestions

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• Make fuselage less choppy and less thick
• Make wings smaller

1. Front cargo bay doors (open/close)

3. Front cargo bay bomb drop
4. Back cargo bay bomb drop

Looks really nice, it's yet another reason I wish variable geometry wings were feasible in stock KSP.

This thread itself looks pretty professionally done too. I've seen thread with no pictures, no DL, or virtually no description of the craft at all. Good job.
