Here's a modern plane for you then. ;) Valmiero is next on my list to flesh out. E-7 Wedgetails, KC-10, Tu-22M, A-6, MiG-27 and a few others. ;)

If Songia comes to Questers, he will become bombed. He will become so much bombed. XD

Oooo.... Nice one Colo :D Well Done old chap :!:

And welcome to Ship Bucket MJL - Do I spy an arrester hook on the back of that plane? Is there a story behind that (being an Air Force plane and all)

Honestly? Then I would find that most difficult to believe. I am no expert when it comes to aircraft engineering, but it is my understanding that most aircraft do not have the structual integrity for Carrier Operations, and therefore an arrester hook would simply be surplus to requirement adding both weight and drag.

But as I said, I'm no expert in that field old chap and am open to correction.

I thought most fighter aircraft had arrestor hooks "just in case" - mainly for emergencies (not to make them suitable for aircraft landing). We are also not sure yet if the Shrike is carrier-capable... Matt and I are going to be figuring that out in the next couple of days.

Hmmm... In that case, it would appear I was wrong and I stand corrected.

Thank you chaps :D

Some info about land-based arrested gear here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arresting ... ed_systems

SMS World is probably the most extreme AU in Shipbucket, but I admit it has wonderfully drawn material.

I have been collecting sources to try to draw the B-1B (I think if anything the archive deserves a copy). I'm sure North Point would get a version of it if that were to happen. ;)
The B-1A is rather similar, and while the B-1B was better for the mission it was built for, I wonder, fully upgraded with modern widgets, if the A wouldn't be better for most roles it would actually be actively called upon to do?

We will soon decide about Shrike and aircraft carrier. In current specifications he has MTOW approximately 88 000lb. He's probably too fat for carrier! Haha. But possibly carrier variant can shave down mass to 65 000lb, then OK! In theoretically, we can launched him from aircraft carrier :D :D :D :D :D

This one he is for tank-busting. Maybe if Songia sends many tanks to my country TPU [TENTERA PERSEKUTUAN UDARA 'FEDERAL AIR FORCE'] will stopped him with submunition missile :D
