Adversary/Aggressor Aircraft Challenge




Adversary/aggressor units are units specifically tasked with emulating enemy tactics, techniques, and procedures in order to train pilots and aircrew using realistic threats. These units operate aircraft specifically intended to replicate the aircraft of foreign adversaries, both in visuals and in performance.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to draw an aircraft utilized by your nation for Dissimilar Air Combat Training (DACT). These can be either aircraft produced by your nation (see USAF/USN F-16s, USN A-4s, USAF/USN F-5s), captured enemy aircraft (see Have Doughnut w/ MiG-21 and similar programs), or aircraft purchased from foreign nations and operated by your military or a private contractor (see Top Aces' Alpha Jets).

Design Requirements:
1. Your submission should depict a fictional adversary/aggressor aircraft, either fixed wing or rotary wing
2. Your aircraft should enter service as an adversary/aggressor aircraft after 1935
3. Your aircraft should be drawn as it appears in adversary/aggressor use

SB：
Cold war cruiser
Warships suitable for small states
FD:
Attack boat
Cold war inteceptor
artillery systems
Soldierbucket:
UAV (MQ-1 for example)

Hi, rbz88:

Please, define the concept of "small states":
1. Limited territorial extension or in a specific way, limited coast lenght, or
2. Limited or very limited budget.
Thanks and cheers.

Oh I mean limited funding. Well I know that there is no very clear, universal definition of a small state. Perhaps "small navy" would be a more appropriate expression.

Thanks!

FD scale: "Interim Interceptor" challenge

It's 1952, and a hostile superpower has just unveiled the world's first strategic jet bomber. Your intelligence community is scrambling to find out details about the exact number of these planes in service, while your military, just beginning to break into the jet age, is hastily ordering a new and advanced interceptor carrying novel weapon systems, a large air-search and tracking radar, and new, afterburning engines to offer the required performance edge to catch the target.

However, there are too many innovations in this new design, and its development drags on, running horribly over budget and, perhaps, even facing cancellation. The air force generals are now screaming at their heads of procurement to create a cheap, fast to produce interim all-weather interceptor that can leap into action until the advanced design finally matures. The design is supposed to use as many off-the-shelf parts feasible. A conversion of an already existing airframe to the job is also an option. What does your response look like??

SB scale: "Torpedo Soup" challenge

The setting is the 1930s and your country has a bunch of cruisers around that date back two centuries or more. At this time, the system of treaties dictating warship displacement currently were not in effect. Thus, these aging cruisers are small and barely more powerful than a destroyer in any way but their armour - And even that is paper-thin by the standard of modern cruisers. It seems these old ships have out-lived their usefulness - Until a few intelligent - Or maybe slightly mental - people propose to turn these aging warships into something new: A warship that relies wholly on the torpedo as her primary offensive tool.

The aim is to turn an old cruiser into an arsenal ship for heavy torpedoes, perhaps a callback to the days of the Jeune École, to figure out whether a new revolution in warfare is coming, or if this new idea is just another in a vast pile of proposals that lead to dead ends. But who knows, maybe someone will turn it into a video game ship some day and make mad cash by selling it!

EDIT: I like the adversary aircraft idea, by the way.

Tokusatsu Challenge (SB scale, or maybe MD)

The city is under attack!

This challenge would require you to draw one figure, in one or at most two views, of a Giant Monster (Kaiju), a Giant Robot or a Giant Hero (or Heroine). Time and setting wouldn't be restricted of course.

Ideally poses and shading would not be restricted, so people could draw in a more sprite-y style as long as SB rules are respected. Also could be a good chance to draw a little vignette or diorama around the drawn subject, no depth though, everything on the same plane.



I would also like to express my support for the following proposals:

Adversary/Aggressor Aircraft Challenge
FD scale: "Interim Interceptor" challenge
Hi-Lo Challenge
The "Super" Soldierbucket challenge.

Also a Converted Challenge that has been mentioned before
