[MatttheCzar]

The KS Army is requesting that you build them a better fightercraft to combat the Koviet KiG Wolfmutt. The craft needs to be able to confuse or outfly both radar and heatseeking missiles, and have enough fuel to fly across the edge of the KSA continent and deploy missiles.

RULES:

-Mods that don't cheat allowed

-Recommended are B9, BD Armory, and KAX/Firespitter

-No infinigliders

Only Smart ASS and translatron allowed on MechJeb

-Actually, BD Armory needed to dodge gaurd mode Sidewinders

SCORE:

10 points for completing challenge

5 for FAR installed

7 for no propellers

10 for no BD

15 for fully stock craft.

In the running:

-Darren9, with 22 points

-ihoit, with 27

22 points I think, can launch with up to 800 fuel and/or more missiles/bombs than can reasonably fit under the wings, makes mach3 with a reasonable load (FAR), relies heavily on BD countermeasures against enemy missiles, it's possible to attempt evasive manoeuvres but there's only three struts each side and bits can fall off if you're not careful.

My F5 Warraider. Stock SP+ wings and Luvodicus nuke engines.

Possibly too modded for this challenge with the engines, but it will make orbit and has full crossrange capability, it can spin on a penny at hypersonic speed (I cut the bridges with it before going vertical) and it is capable of midair sliding. Plenty of undercarriage clearance for hardpoints (not installed on this prototype). I reckon it'll hold six FL-T400 tanks underwing.

(EDIT: when I'm not doing crazy aerobatics, MechJeb AP is an absolute necessity, as this thing is extremely unstable over 6km altitude)

Look familiar yet? (this is actually an earlier prototype)

How about this?

Why do you get points for not having BD armory when BD armory is a recommended mod?
