Why are the wings shaped like that?

What in the Bird-Of-Warthog-Bronco is this
>>
>>64329445
Because the artist who made it is a woman or homosexual man

>>64329445
game designers skipped physics class

>thing
lame and gay :/
>thing, angular (bonus for hexagons)
OMG FUTURISTIC :O

>>64329467
Not necessarily.
Just a bog-standard unimaginative and talentless hack.
>>
>>64329445
Shitty attempt to rationalize it:
The artist behind the model wants to make an OV-10 thing. The area near the root is low for the gear. The insane raised section is supposed to be for clearance but the structural weight penalty to raise it like that would be nasty. Making longer gear fit in larger fairings would be a better compromise. The tail is elevated to put the horizontal stabilizer out of the stream so it isn't battered as much by the propwash.

But seriously this is a game the artist wants to make "what if OV-10 but 5th gen?"
>>
>>64329445
Because it looks cool. A diegetic explanation could be to allow clearance for larger weapons under the wings.
>>
>>64329508
Because they can't use real world designs or get sued for copyright.

Who gives a fuck nuke option is a masterpiece of a game
>>
>>64329640
All of Nuclear Option used fictional planes internationally. Plenty of games use real vehicles and trademarks without issue. Check out Squad, it's literally got the exact Humvee with trademarked grill that Activison was sued over (and won)

/k/ being a blue/4channel board is absurd. Why can't hiromoot make this a 18+ place? These 12 years old coming from their video game digital toy boards only shit this place up.
>>
>>64330195
What causes this childish hatred of software?
>>
>>64330195
>Let's make this an 18+ board
>Why is every second post pornography?!?
Many such cases
>>
>>64329640
did you just wake up from a 10 year coma or something? this hasn't been a real concern for years
>>
>>64330195
blue boards are still 18+, the only difference between red and blue boards is whether you can post porn and gore. are you dumb or retarded?
>>
>>64329445
the idea is to introduce as many points of stress concentration as possible, thus maximising the chances of catastrophic failure during flight

>>64330195
4channel doesn't exist anymore, moron

>>64329445
Better clearance with the ground? The wingtips are obviously to mess with wingtip vorticies and raising the wing would give more stability but if so, why not the inner wing? Parasol wings are a thing, just look at the PBY-5. It might also be an attempt to conceal the ordinance from radar but that would only work from the sides and not well at that.

Yes, I know the devs didn't know or care how to make a proper aircraft but thinking about it is a good mental exercise.
