Swing wing aircraft

[cyan harness]

It would be awesome to see a variable sweep aircraft attacker fighter that can carry a good amount of air to ground ordinance or bring a jamming pod with some missiles, this could also be a good aircraft to introduce more bomb types with.

Right off the bat, f14 tomcat request

Chat we are so back

Tbh it was more with the tornado and f111

look its not that its a bad idea, its mostly that we made technologies that render swing wings osolete

50/50, it has its perks still, just very niche

My poor swing wing navel bomber/interceptor forum (very large mix of tu22 and fb111H but navelized in capability, I care less about the design look, cause either way Mitch is gonna make it awesome). While it is gone, supersonic bomber is confirmed and one can only hope the wings can swing

[fresh token]

After each sortie it has to spend several hours in maintenance

i hope its delta wing just to mess with all the people asking for swing wings

Variable sweep wings did not have many advantages over newer and more advanced swept wings like on the F-16 and F/A-18, the whole reason the F-14 and F-111 had it was because they were limited by mid cold war tech or the navy needed a supersonic jet that did not stall often

the only use variable sweep wings have in a current age is to be a on the B-1B since supersonic bombers are too large and niche to have a good swept wing design

We get it you like the Tomcat istg

[normal nova]

the only redeeming factor of swing wings in the modern day and age is cool factor

It'd still be hella cool to have swing wings in the game
