The Dornier Do 335 Pfeil ("Arrow") was a World War II heavy fighter built by the Dornier company. The two-seater trainer version was also called Ameisenbär ("anteater"). The Pfeil?'?s performance was much better than other twin-engine designs due to its unique "push-pull" layout and the much lower aerodynamic drag of the in-line alignment of the two engines. It was Germany's fastest propeller plane in WW2. The Luftwaffe was desperate to get the design into operational use, but delays in engine deliveries meant only a handful were delivered before the war ended. (Information gathered from Wikipedia)
Ag 1&2 are engines front and rear. Ag 4-6 are ordinance. The landing gear isn't accurate, the wing gear in the game is too short to work with this design. It's a little nose heavy until the ordnance is away. The bombs are modified MaxTeoZ weapons.
I did more xml work on this build than any I've completed so far. I hope you guys enjoy, it was definitely a learning experience for me. As always, your thoughts and opinions are welcome.

That makes sense
@TurboWarrior this design was uploaded before weapons were added to the game.
There is no machine guns!!
I suppose you could set up a forum post pertaining to that, I don't have a problem with it.
@KingDeadshot hey man sorry for the delay, I just saw this comment. What did you have in mind?
@TheLatentImage np
@YoYoJ16 I've seen your profile, to be honest... it looks like you've made the same plane 3 times. There isn't enough difference in them for me to tell them apart man. Try making something completely different than the base design that you have at the moment.
@YoYoJ16 thanks, I'm glad you like it. And in my opinion it handles pretty well. The push pull prop setup seems to do well.
@PlanesAndThings @Nickasaurus thanks fellas
@sirtribesman well crap... the bombs were the only things I didn't make... I need to stop using @MaxTeoZ bombs. They're making my planes look bad! Lol
Thanks for checking it out buddy, I appreciate it.
Love the bomb - flew around the island 4 times and stopped by at England for some scones and tea
my plane is taking me about 3 hours so far.
wow!
@SnappyB ummm... if I had to guess... I would say... 15 hours give or take.
wow that is so cool and sleek! that has so many hidden parts, that must have taken forever. how long did this take you?
@Ctracerx2 Thanks buddy, I'm glad to be building things again too.
@TheLatentImage I'm looking forward for your detailed version buddy. I will try to not forgot to alert you when I upload my version.
@Wakescar Thanks, I really appreciate that buddy.
This is one cool plane. A great pick, well executed my friend.
@BigCat Thanks buddy, I'm glad you think so!
Awesome!
@RABpilot thank you very much for your time and support.
@FlOu thank you very much man, I do appreciate that. It means a lot to me. I think I'm going to put out another version of this but with finer detail. I got tired last night and decided to just to with what I had. Be sure to alert me when you have posted yours. I would really enjoy seeing your take on it.
This is near to the perfection. I want to build one two, I have planified the Dornier Do 335 for my next project. You did this version preeti well. I'm wondering what I will make with my coming version
@AlphaOneIndustries @Dynimerous @SpiritusRaptor @EpembI4 Thanks a lot guys, hopefully it looks and performs as well as you guys would like.
