@GT3TobyRS :-)
@NativeChief1492 np!
Thanks @GT3TobyRS
Thanks @CrazyCodeC
@CrazyCodeC ok
@NativeChief1492 Larger blade diameter, and make it more aerodynamic, also, make sure to adjust the propeller pitch for faster acceleration and a higher top speed, also, reevaluated.
@CrazyCodeC Have any ideas that would improve this plane?
@CrazyCodeC 20mm
@CrazyCodeC Interceptor
Here is your score.
Armament: 8/10
The 20mm cannons on the front can pack quite the punch, however, most American fighter planes of this era were typically outfitted with bombs.
Handling: 5/10
The maneuverability of this plane is astounding. You only lose points due to speed, as most piston planes of this era were topping out at roughly 430-500mph. Interceptors are designed to be as fast as possible with an emphasis on climb rate. The top speed of this aircraft really knocks in down in this catagory.
Time period accuracy: 4/5
This plane is very sleek, as were many American fighters at this time, however, you are being knocked down just a little bit due to speed. Also, most twin-engine aircraft utilized counter-rotating props at this time, to counter-act torque.
General appearance: 4/5
This plane looks very sleek, streamlined, and ironically modern for a plane built in 1949. Well done.
Total score: 21/30 or 70%
Great job!
What caliber are the guns on the wings?
