August 30th.

@Alphasus Looks great! Any special requirements like the last tourny being stealth? Is this just conventional fighters? Also. Can we use B9 P-wings?

All mods except for BDA are banned. No special requirements.

[Combatsmithen]

Ok. So no B9 at all. I was kinda hoping to use those F11(something something) engines to get that F-22 look but ok

I gotcha.

[drtricky]

Aww, my plane blew itself up using its own missiles 3 consecutive times. Damn you lady luck.

I honestly don't know what happened there... Maybe it pulled a turn that was too tight.

I personally think it may have also been the physics screwing up and computing a collision by accident, considering that some wing pieces are clipped into one another. I did experience this on another plane of mine that had bomb-bay mounted goalkeepers that were clipped into the bomb bay. The versions without goalkeepers have never exploded on me before for comparison.

Also, congrats on winning!

I noticed that it happens a lot on clipped planes, as the Raptor 2 did that as well.  

Thatnks for the congrats, but I didn't deserve that win. I got lucky with my competition mode rollls(random mind you), and I think the Dorito has trouble sub 5 km.

I Didn't clip anything on the Raptor 2 lol. I mainly lost due to takeoff issues. Which didn't happen when I tested it but oh well

No, the missile fins were a bit clipped into the cargo bay. I did do personal testing as well, and all planes could easily self destruct by pulling sharp turns toward missiles that they released.

[Combatsmithen]

Oh. Yeah. there is that. Wasn't intentional clipping anyway, I didn't even realize it until like yesterday

It wasn't specific to your plane.

[Combatsmithen]
