At the time it was posted, this was quite literally the best, most advanced plane anyone had ever built. All the features it has (working cockpit, functioning single-shot guns, roundels, and even working landing gear) were made before any of the actual dedicated parts for those features were added to the game. (Not to mention the fact that if you look at all the other planes posted around the same time, this one looked the absolute best by a huge margin).

but the pinned comment explained it and i appreciate the answer too since it goes into more detail about it :))
@Majakalona the plane looks amazing i just wanted to know what made it have so much upvotes :)
@HuskyDynamics01 oh thank you
the plane is better than most planes now, and it's older than anyone who complains about it
