Airborne Battlecruiser

Description

Inspired by the fictional flying carriers in the Ace Combat series and by my own experiments with flying warships in CFS3.

Primary Features:
Stealth coatings for reduced Radar Cross Section (gives the impression of a medium to small sized plane on screen)
Vector Thrust and downward thrust lift systems to assist take-offs, landings and low speed operations
Ability to land on both land and sea providing enough area is available (lower intakes close up for water landings and rudder retracts for ground landings)
Sophisticated long range detection and tracking systems with high speed ballistic prediction computers to aid weapon targeting
Hanger Bay for Small sized VTOL / STOVL aircraft

Armament:
2x Railgun Turrets with Anti Air, Anti Surface and Anti Orbital Capabilities
2x Conventional High Explosive Autocannon Turrets
4x Modified Phalanx CIWS
1x High Velocity AAA Flak Cannon Turret
6x AA Missile Launchers
VLS for Cruise and Ballistic Missiles
Bomb Bay for various dropped ordinance types

PS. Yes I know, SOOO MUCH DRAGGGG, gun turrets that stick out are not the most aerodynamic feature to have on an aircraft, this on top of the frontal surface area that this beast has!

If you look through the screen-shots section of my Steam profile you can find some airborne warship battles that I created for CFS3. I do not know how to 3D model, so I used the default ship models as place-holders. steamcommunity.com/id/CipherZR…

Think it might be possible to reduce drag by have the turrents mounted in air intake scoops or something?

Genuinely love this design, top-down view soon? ;)
