Upgrading A Fighter Jet! 😎🛠️ From the Depths, Let's Build

[@thebevil8127]

this thing looks like a fat lockheed Y-23 and i love it

[@oculuswalker6612]

Oh... Now I exactly know why my 171mm rail anti-air revolver with HEF timefuse shells exist. And yes. I'm choose Su-57. It's looks cool for me.

[@kevinbright5054]

damn now i want to build a melee version just jets, heavy armor, and spikes! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

[@burtvanheel128]

So, a flying trapezoidal tank farm with good firepower. I like it!

Sooty is love sooty is life. Is he inspired by soot sprites from Totoro?

[@BorderWise12]

Sooty in their original incarnation was actually a visual a parody of my self-image years ago: a angry, hairy thing. Their depiction has mellowed out since then, as have I. The similarity to Sooty Sprites and Fuzzies is coincidental and hilarious. XD

[@dripthanos5595]

do you have a tutorial for using pitch/yaw angle on thrusters to control a plane's rotation?

Excellent work spreading the good word of HESH, brother. Soon we shall gather the numbers to drive out the false prophet HEAT, and take our rightful place. I mean, not really, HEAT is fine too. You can even do tandem HESH/HEAT with the secondary HEAT, which is that one weird trick that doct- uh, turret caps, don't want you to know. Maximum funny critseeking, as used by the GT Empyrean. PAC I've come to think is best as a secondary weapon. It's very breadboard-able to change damage type/charge time which makes it fairly versatile, whether rapid fire EMP to swat small aircraft, long charge time pierce to poke holes in wedge spamming frontsiders, or thump for general surface damage (especially against subs because PACs don't care about water and thump gets the same underwater damage boost that HE does,) it can remain relevant against a wide variety of targets. If you build a real big one though, it's just too expensive in both up front cost and energy over time, and will just murder things near it when a pipe inevitably breaks. I'd also recommend giving plasma a try for smallish aircraft. Plasma is very dense so you can fit a decent system even in small craft, with Tetris that can fit pretty much anywhere without gimping its efficiency, and if you bias it more towards storage can make a pretty solid strike weapon for attack runs. It is also like PAC in that it is easy to work with in bread; you can do rapid fire spray and pray with high projectile velocity against other aircraft, or get big slow meaty shots against larger targets. Edit: forgot to mention my favorite plane is the F-22

[@BorderWise12]

@@JohnMcFist Good points! I really should make a plasma fighter... compact, excellent projectile speed, lethal against compact designs, what's not to like? 😁

[@thorveim1174]

question because i cant find a good answer anymore... how do you make the exhaust part of thrusters turn depending on movement like that? I see it even on base game aircraft, even on on custom jet, but i have no idea how its done

[@BorderWise12]

Breadboard thrust vectoring! :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpWlaHx4YtZ5oZIsi=IupFmzgqUP49Y7Ht

[@matheusfoxgames3718]

i think plasma will be a problem for that plkane too

[@ShawnReed-h9z]

Borderwise, you've had a very ADD day recording this. But the plane works great. Is the laser actually configured, though? I don't see it setting fires at all, and it should do if it's destroying blocks, yes? And yet it's destroying enemy craft efficiently- so I'm just checking.

[@BorderWise12]

@@ShawnReed-h9z Laser works, yes!

[@ShawnReed-h9z]

@@BorderWise12 Okay- you'd mentioned it was drawing more power than you were producing, so I was checking that it wasn't locked from performing a pulse.

[@dripthanos5595]

i've been wanting to try lasers, PACs, railgun APS and plasma cannons but i dont know how to generate enough power efficently outside of slapping a bunch of RTGs on the vehicle.

[@BorderWise12]

@@dripthanos5595 Steam turbines are your friend there! Failing that, make a decent fuel engine and crank the battery charge ratio up to maximum. 👍

[@killerwhale__]

My solution is to take prefab fuel engine and to turn the battery charge ratio to the max

[@food7479]

Haven't watched fully yet - he is going to forget the Ammo ejectors on any APS he builds again, is he?
