Description
As requested by steam user Homelessavocado and another one I forgot who it was.

The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet, designed by Alexander Lippisch, was a German rocket-powered fighter aircraft. It is the only rocket-powered fighter aircraft ever to have been operational. Its design was revolutionary, and had performance unrivaled at the time.

In my opinion the Komet looks like a toy plane (or my toy plane looks like a Komet) but it's rocket engine was very cool.

Even tho it doesn't has jettisonable landing gear (just a regular foldable gear), this machine has many similarities compared to the real world Komet; deadly, fast, and can reach any altitude since it's completely iceproof. It's also extremely sturdy, can land on its belly or smash through Tolbrynd castles.

It also simulated the Komet infamous limited fuel (10 seconds flamethrower) but that's not a problem at all since it possess superior gliding capability. Even at un-powered state, it could rise back into the air with the slightest updraft.

Try this challenge!
Complete the Duke's Dear Freighter zone using this plane!
(no god-powers, start from bounding box, and destroy all four freighter)
Hint: use ignition sparingly, utilize its gliding capability, and remember two cannons at your disposal.

Known Bug: Rotating the machine around 90 degrees may cause issues. Use yaw to rotate itself.

das flugzeug diseing ist sehr schön auch das antriebsmanagment ist gut nur es lässt sich scheiße steuern ich kann das sagen ich bin ein erfahrener pilot

Hey shade try making a giant airship (bigger than the one with the runway) and putting it on the workshop within 48 hrs! I challenge you.

I hope that this helps you in making more historic aircraft and after watching your tutorial on how to do so I am currently making my own historicaly accurate aircraft The Handly Page HP 15 ( a WW1 dual engine bomber) I will tag you in it fully thanking you fow showing me how to make these aircraft but that is if i am fully finished with it so that may take a while andy ways thatnk you and hope this info helps (btw if you ever need any info on sum WW2 vehicles feel free to drop a question :) )

BTW
there was actually 2 other jet aircraft designed by teh germans that were operational in WW2 mainly in 1945 and in small numbers as it was too late to mass produce.
The Messerschmit 262 and The Ho 229 (Horten 229)
Both of which were designed made and used in WW2 except the Horten 229 as it was a stealth jet But unliek todays stealth Jets it was stealth for a different reason It was invisible to radar the biggest aircraft killer at that time so it was a strict secret and was only flown in test flights although ready for battle as it was it was too late to send it out to fight it was invisible to radar as only teh cockpit and themetal caps of teh engine turbiles was mettalic and visible to radar this ofcourse was on radar too small to be seen as a full aircraft thus it was "Stealth".

I mean are switched of course^^ (like Z is in between T and U and Y is next to X)
Wilhelm II. von Preußen 6 Apr, 2016 @ 9:32am 
I mean Z and Y are not switched in the german layout^^ Thats what I ment^^
That makes it very uncomftable to use non-german machines without rebinding.
Nice creation btw^^

@TCO|TheChickenNinja! At least I don't scale like crazy & you can still see it and re-bind it :P
Will WASD fine? What controls did you prefer?
