An-124 wing strapped ontop of An-22 as advanced customization

[clever horizon]

Yes this did actually exist.

There was also a central tail fin near the 2 vertical stablizers

The cargo was an An-124 wing transported from Uzbekistan plant to Ukraine plant for final An-124 assembly.

[twilit scroll]

to be fair, i don't think testing variants will ever be added

for like, any aircraft

other than one or two very very specific ones that have dev bias or smth

[nocturne atlas]

This plane technically now has 3 wings

[twilit scroll]

[dense grove]

this isnt a testing variant

whar

its cargo

💀

[twilit scroll]

i didn't notice to be fair

i thought it was an antonov 22 with 124 wings

not carrying a single 124 wing

[dense grove]

doesnt look at picture
types anyway

💀

[twilit scroll]

i looked at the picture

immediately forgot what it looked like

and then started typing

anyways this is definitely not going to be added, it's way too niche and adds no real value to the an-22, unlike the buran or stargazer

unless someone models and adds it specifically out of pettyness because i said it wasn't being added

[wheat hatch]

I mean it's comparable to the Belugas & An-225 judging by both's logic ingame

They carry outsized cargo regularly & outsized cargo planes exist ingame

[twilit scroll]

i mean

[twilit scroll]

there's a difference between having a plane designed to carry oversized cargo and just bolting it down on the fuselage of the biggest aircraft available at the time and calling it a day

i don't remember the last time a beluga had cargo strapped on top of it like it's a family trip to the beach and it was too big to fit in the trunk

[fossil echo]

Why not

Its like the only other variant of the An-22

[twilit scroll]

YEAH UH I FUCKING WONDER WHY NOT

[wheat hatch]

Myasishchev VM-T:

Boeing 747-100 & -100SR SCA:

An-225:

Yeah no oversized-cargo planes come on all shapes & sizes

[twilit scroll]

did you understand what i said

[wheat hatch]

All you said means that the An-225 should not be added too

Because it carries oversized cargo externally

[twilit scroll]

no i did not you doofus

[inland ravine]

planes for big cargo:
planes for no big cargo but have big cargo anyway:

[twilit scroll]

..basically, actually

kind of

[wheat hatch]

Yall had flawed logic

The VM-T carries oversized cargo externally

The An-225 carries oversized cargo externally

The SCA carries oversized cargo externally AND is NOT initally pupose-built

[twilit scroll]

i mean that having the an-22 carry a random wing is not exactly worthy of an advanced customization since there is no real significance, the an-225's external cargo was a god damn SPACE SHUTTLE and the SCA had the same thing

[wheat hatch]

The SOFIA is not purpose-built to have a fucking telescope in its empennage

[wheat hatch]

So its all about "media significance"?

[twilit scroll]

why the FUCK are you involving the sofia in this now????

[wheat hatch]

How exclusive

[inland ravine]

me when debate

[wheat hatch]

Your topic is on non-purpose-built planes 'haphazardly' converted to fit a certain role

[twilit scroll]

no????????

[dim sable]

me when VM-T is yet to remodel:

[wheat hatch]

In that case the U-36 should not be added too

[twilit scroll]

agh

[dim sable]

[twilit scroll]

you are IMPOSSIBLE to argue with, fuck you

jesus christ

[wheat hatch]

I've seen suggestion dwellwrs even more stubborn than an oak, fuck you too

[twilit scroll]

it's like every single time i try to talk about something you have to get yourself involved in it and you don't let me explain anything

like for fuck's sake

[wheat hatch]

I let you explain already?

[twilit scroll]

just let me have an opinion for once

[wheat hatch]

I gave you that

Look at the chat

Is it a wall of text of me yapping or is it alternating between me & you?

[twilit scroll]

yeah and then you SPUN IT INTO ME SAYING OVERSIZED CARGO AIRCRAFT SHOULDN'T EXIST

[wheat hatch]

I mean by your logic based on your wording in this thread, it sounds like that.

You said about a "plane that isn't supposed to do something, but does anyway"

The SOFIA fits the bill, the U-36 fots the bill

[twilit scroll]

yeah yeah sure, whatever

just

[wheat hatch]

The An-225 fits the bill. Because it has no cargo compartment that can fit a big ass space shuttle inside

[twilit scroll]

remove all oversized cargo aircraft

[inland ravine]

if it flies irl add it to the game

jk

[twilit scroll]

the 225 was specifically designed to carry the buran btw

anyways

i'm done arguing

[wheat hatch]

Externally

[wheat hatch]

Good

[twilit scroll]

you win

[wheat hatch]

Now let me drive

[twilit scroll]

whatever

[twilit scroll]

go ahead, drive off a cliff if you want i won't stop you anymore

[dense grove]

?????

[modest parrot]

FahmiRBLX (broke WP-wise)┃9M-SOX is AFK: Driving (down a road NOT A CLIFF FFS) - a few seconds ago

[dense grove]

yea it was DESIGNED to

thats what he was fucking SAYING

💀

its not that deep

[stuck schooner]

yes

[wheat hatch]

But at tbe samw time the 747SP wasnt designed to carry a telescope, the A300 wasnt designed to carry its own fuselage parts, the VM-T wasnt designed to carry rocket tanks & the An-124 that the An-225 came from & the 747-100 wasn't designed to carry a space shuttle either

And the U-36 wasnt designed to carry sensors eithee

Thats what i saw with his argument

[dense grove]

the VMT was designed to

its a dedicated CONVERSION of an aircraft

[wheat hatch]

It came from the M-4, which wasnt designed to

[dense grove]

you are entirely miscontrueing bros point

[dense grove]

yea thats why they CONVERTED IT

💀

💀

[wheat hatch]

And dont get me started on the 747 LCF, which was NOT designes for oversized cargo for it

[dense grove]

hes right blud is a brick wall

[wheat hatch]

Same goes to this An-22 & the SCA

[fossil echo]

Dassault Falcon is not designed for anti-ship ops but we have Suzanna anyways

[dense grove]

the an-22 isnt a conversion

its literally a regular an-22 with a fucking wing glued to it

💀

the VMT is not a regular M-4 with a buran bolted to it

the dreamlifter is not a regular 747 with a plane inside of it

[wheat hatch]

How is putting struts to hold a wing & making a fairing to cover the transported wing root not a conversion?

[dense grove]

the an-225 is not a regular an-124 with a buran taped to it

[fossil echo]

the third fin added to the plane:

[wheat hatch]

THIS

[dense grove]

i can tape a stick to a 737 but that doesnt make it a 737 oversize variant

its just a 737 with a stick on it

[dense grove]

why is it not a variant my ass ask antonov they didnt make it a fucking variant

[wheat hatch]

Then how can I tape a space shuttle on top of a 747, stiffen up the fuselage right under the slace shuttle & call it a conversion?

[stuck schooner]

specialty planes have specialty purposes

[stuck schooner]

true...

[wheat hatch]

How many times must i repeat the exact same planes?
