Right - separate thread is much better to discuss role part.
On the part about engines - look at Bottlenose, this one will be at the same weight category, so it does not need more engines.
Yes but the wings scream fighter from my point of view- if you see the pic for first time without saying that this is GB you would also say fighter not a gb- because it does not look like gb. , so removing the wings or reinforcing them to look more bulky with adding more capital ship components is the way to go.

I could see putting small engines under the ^ in the wings, fill out the space and make it a little easier to hit. The tips of the wings would need to be removed to counter, since the model is so wide now.
I like the fact that you're trying to stick with the eagle design. However I think you should make the ship look a little bit more bulky, because looking at the current model, it still looks like a VHF (a very good looking one I may add).
Govedo. You seem to be quite capable of saying "I don't like this". I however do not see you offering an alternative to this model which, judging by most reactions in the topic, seems to be welcomed.
Might I ask you to whip up a model yourself, in CTE style (both in feel and in texturing)? Or offer specifics on what should be changed? If you cannot do so, then frankly saying "I don't like this" is just demoralising without adding anything to the conversation. And I'd appreciate it if you'd keep it to yourself in that case. Criticism is fine, but keep it to constructive criticism.

I can tell from the cockpit and some other cues that it's a gunboat. It will be obvious when you see it in game, or it should be anyway, based on size alone. That's why I asked for a side-by-side picture.
This civilian gb concept looks really nice. The only issue I have is with the main wings - I think they should be a bit shorter to emphasize the fact that is a gb. Other than that, it's a fitting addition to the civilian fleet.
It'd be a reasonable option for the Junkers, since the KuEx is off the table for them.
