Mitch won't/can't use community names, unfortunately
brother this is just “muh 2070 tomcat”
additionally thermobarics are in the game, the demo bomb, but i would appreciate more
You might want to change the post to not have a name for the design
i WOULD call zero days but enough effort went into suggestion imo lol
Zero days and its consequences have been a disaster for the suggestion forum
ngl homie its just “sr-71 stats and F14 body” so… i think it counts
💔 you got a good point
That being said, I would like to see the rest of this suggestion
it’s only effort was the typing, which even then takes 5 minutes at worst bar language barrier,
id like the suggestion if it was literally anything other than “muh tomcat”, bc tbh i think high alt interceptor aircraft are not rlly what the game is in dire need of rn imo
The unfortunate thing is if I remember they said in the last stream that swing wings don't work due to the stress on damage model.
I was actually inspired by the F-14 and the MiG-23
Variable sweep fighter and UAV
He explained it on one of the streams, it's not impossible (see the tarantula) but it would be near impossible to make it perform well in all aspects because of how aircraft parts are connected.
What a pity
nah let’s keep 1970s designs out of the 2070s setting as much as possible, swing wings stopped being produced for a reason and multiple other games have already “done” the stealth tomcat stereotype (notably VTOLVR)
Swing wings technology is not so irrelevant
LERXs and vortice lift have made it outdated and irrelevant
That’s on top of swing wings being maintenance nightmares, less efficient stealth platforms, heavier and less agile than other competitor fighters, etc
