It might be next to useless but it looks cool and that's reason enough for me. Can you still put a small aircraft in the front of the hangar, or does it occupy the whole space? I will probably buy it as well once there is a discount, and only regret that I will likely have to sell my Hunter for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadArashi Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Would have muched rather had the B-2 Spirit or F-117 Nighthawk as stealth bombers but you know. Coupled with rediculous price, ridiculous size, 50 bomb capacity and only drops in single file... Yer I won't waste my money Bombers as they are a just pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whywontyoulisten Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I used to play a flight sim called US Navy Fighters back in 1995. One of the aircraft was the F-14 Tomcat with working variable geometry wings. 1995 Rockstar.

Well, If we approach it that way I doubt anyone would argue with you two. Everyone is mostly disappointed with the way it performs, not the way it looks (Though the fact that wings don't change angle still grinds my compressors). I myself bought it just for the looks alone. To the plus side I can say that I like how 3 of the paintjobs replicate actual Soviet/Russian color schemes.

IsekaiExpress Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 One thing that is decent are the liveries and i'd love to see them on a Russian fighter jet, should one come out in 2021. As for the plane in-game, will buy it once it's on sale. I get the frustration of Motantantrantantan, as he knows the planes first-hand.

I think even if the wings were foldable it would still be impossible to get in and out of there. As a side note, has anyone looked into the files of this to see if this aircraft actually has variable wings, but they just don't work for whatever reason?

xXxKAMIKAZExXx Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Anyone know if you can open the back? It has a cargo bay inside and can be seen during the heist if you choose this jet for the approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wings are separate objects and their pivot points are actually where they are supposed to "fold" Unfortunately, they are clipping a bit through textures, when one do rotate them, but they do look they were modeled with that function in mind, but probably QM said no. There are no nodes that are responsible for wing function, only in the ailerons. 1 hour ago, xXxKAMIKAZExXx said: Anyone know if you can open the back?

MARINA Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Holding down the banking button (left or right) while moving the analog stick in this plane makes it turn sharper than a stunt plane, this includes going up and down.

Yellow Dog with Cone Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 So... - No functional variable sweep wings, which begs the question of why R* did ever bother to model them in such way in the first place. - Stealth Mode only works way, way up in the sky only, which while technically accurate, makes actually using said feature both unpractical and hard. - Hold 50 bombs instead of 100 like the Volatol (which is smaller, mind you), because reasons. - Has such piss poor armor, it might as well not have any at all. - It doesn't even have an enter/exit plane animation. I guess it's the B-11 Strikeforce all over again, huh? Wait, scratch that, at least the Strikeforce is actually usable, albeit not for its intended purpose, lol At least it looks nice tho, I may get it down the line, when it eventually gets on discount.

IsekaiExpress Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) I'm tempted to buy one just for sake of doing a Photoshop with swept wings. 50 minutes ago, MotantanTrantantan said: Tell me about it In my case thing took off the ground without almost any running up.

éX-Driver Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Anyone got actual dimensions on it? The Tu160 is about 180x180ft, 10m longer in both dimensions than the Lancer. Curious as to what exactly can fit in our hangars. If the Alkonost is even close to a real Tu160, that opens up the realm of possibilities.

xXxKAMIKAZExXx Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I was right. It is possible to open up the back of the Alkonost, although you can't enter it unfortunately, as there's an invisible wall. 1bbaxter, Ethereal_NYC_, Snoopbr and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you open it also if you have bombs on it take them off might be able to go inside it if you take them off, but otherwise how you open it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wastelander (Suzuki) Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) Would have liked a TF-33/JT3 powered E-3 Sentry as a Off The Radar AWACS plane, but at least said Stealth feature makes the RO-86 useful at, at least something other than looking cool....kinda Edited December 21, 2020 by Wastelander (Suzuki) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuNova Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 This should have used the Guided Missiles from the Sub. Just call them Smart Bombs or something.
