"Stormwind" Multirole Fighters

[Wabbit]

Ladies & Gentlemen, introducing the Stormwind fighter series. These crafts are long-range multirole fighters, quite reminiscent of the F-15, that can fit into almost any task, whether on the battlefield or fulfilling contracts.

Stormwind Mk. 2

Especially when fitted with droptanks, this craft is quite long-range. Its large wings allow it to cruise at pretty high efficiency. While not as fast as the Stormwind II, this original variant is more efficient, slightly cheaper, and easier to use. Though it has some good traits, it also has stability problems, and will easily spin out if pushed too hard, although it is easy to recover due to its large wings and control surfaces.

 

Stormwind Mk. 2 T (Two-seater/Trainer variant)

This version of the aircraft is useful for pilot training, or missions where an extra crew member might come in handy. The addition of an extra cockpit has some serious impacts on the maneuverability of the aircraft, but it still flies quite well.

 

Stormwind II Mk. 1

Now on to the second aircraft in the series, the Stormwind II. This plane is fast, boasting top speeds of over 1,000 m/s @ 10,000 meters altitude. Although it pays for this in reduced fuel efficiency (Read: This thing guzzles jet fuel like a champion chugger guzzles beer), it can still make it a significant distance if the operator holds back on the throttle and stays at altitude. In the second picture, you can see its interesting wing shape and canard layout.

So, there are Pancake Aerospace's brand-new, top-of-the-line military craft. I hope you enjoyed, and I'd love to hear what you think, as well as tips on how these designs can be tweaked/improved.

Wow! 

Really cool!  Those fighters look like gen 4 fighters.  I especially like the Stormwind Mk II.  It's really cute!

On a side note, do you have a BD Armory variant I can duel?  It'd be really fun to see if I could destroy it with my fighter.

I could probably put together a BDarmory one. Thing is, for the next few weeks I'm restricted to my old laptop. 4 GB of RAM plus using this for Chrome means not a lot of mod room.
