To me it looks like one of those spaceships you would get in a on-rails shooter (stuff like Starfox)
Or something straight out of an anti-gravity racing game

That actually looks hella sleek

I’m beginning to think whoever made that mockup were inspired by this ADFX Morgan


The inward canted vertical stabilizers and bulbous engine nacelles give it away xD

Is that a fricken camera?

No it’s a laser weapon from Ace combat

probably the camera purpose is to take photos from “proxima centauri b” lol

It’s a laser, like a continous beam

Man, all these prototypes make me hope that we get to end of the line planes soon so Gaijin has to start adding old goofy prototypes and low production planes

I mean, that looks kinda cool, but I still can’t get into Ace Combat.
Also, not HOTAS support is a huge turn-off tbh
