IL-78 Honeybadger


Recommended Posts

If ever in a real life emergency ... this is the plane I wanna be in.

 

Taking out 3 engines on this (as well as on the IL-76) and the plane will fly off to the sunset after having descended to it's new Single Engine operating altitude. Not shown is a shredded rudder too.

 

What I'll do to remedy this issue is set "Explode Unit" on something like "unit life less than 75%" but I just thought I'd share this as I figure it's not what was intended.

Same thing happened when I practiced gunnery on a lone Tu-160 Blackjack - 3 engines burning and no f***s were given ;)

More pictures ... from today's encounter with the Honeybadger.

 

Picture 1: As you can see, the thrust from the burning reminant of the #3 engine is enough to keep her straight and level. Look at the guy in the nose ... no fu(*s given. lol

 

Picture 2: Out of ammunition .... but not really, i still have my own aircraft. time to jam it into the tail

 

Picture 3: That escalated quickly!!! (this is actually the second hit. The first one I wasn't quick enough to snap a picture. But i hit the tail, pilot blacked out for a bit, airplane got stuck and then flung off. Honeybadger was not amused and kept on truckin)

 

Picture 4: I WIN!!!!!!! .... however all 3 hydraulics (main, alt, and utility) leaked out 2 minutes later. so really, it's a draw. Honeybadger got the last laugh i guess. Until next time!!!

These oddities aren't just for the Honeybadger, check out this M2000 flying around with only one wing. Pretty impressive for a delta-winged aircraft - especially doing only 138kts at some points!

That is awesome! haha. I wish I could change the title to "IL-78 Honeybadger and Friends!" It would be fun to compile some of these kinds of photos from different aircraft
