Part-Efficient Aircrafts~!!


i present to you.. OV-10A Bronco!!, you know they say, dead horses tell no tal- wait was that the right idiom? hm.. we'll burn the horse when we get there..? no that sounds wrong too.. oh well, let's not put too much thought into that, anyway.... in the interest of changing my build style(and also apparently it just looks better), I've switched to clear glass(instead of the usual light blue glint), and while honestly i feel like i want to get rid of the glass, it doesn't give the same vibe y'know... anyway, to mention the "Super Gun Bird"... well there's really not much to mention or discuss, it's the US Marines, and they want firepower, cause while you might be content with having rockets and bombs, well... why not exercise the 2nd amendment with extreme prejudice?, queue the 7.62mm Minigun and 20mm Gunpod cause we boutta turn the comm- i mean, vie- *ahem* trees, yes, trees. the trees into shreds.


The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco is an American twin-turboprop light attack and observation aircraft. It was developed in the 1960s as a special aircraft for counter-insurgency (COIN) combat, and one of its primary missions was as a forward air control (FAC) aircraft. It can carry up to 3,200 lb (1,450 kg) of external munitions and internal loads such as paratroopers or stretchers, and can loiter for three or more hours.

Late in the war, the Marines liked to fit Broncos with a Minigun pod on each sponson and a 20-millimeter cannon pod on the centerline pylon, calling the result a "Super Gun Bird".

[ Controls ]

  • Standard Aircraft Controls
  • VTOL : Flaps

[ Guidelines ]

[ Taxiing ]

  • 4-5% Power, Yaw to Turn

[ Takeoff ]

  • Flaps Half-down, Full throttle, pull pitch up until the wheels lift off then let the aircraft gain speed while returning the flaps back up

[ Flight ]

  • Standard Aircraft Controls; in level flight, you'd need a decent trim tuning, however, during attack run, i suggest only setting it down to 10-20% trim at maximum since the aircraft naturally pitches up.

[ Landing ]

  • just land naturally, it's a decently easy one, although it does keep a lot of energy... brakes pretty good though.

[ Armaments ]

  • 4x M60C 7.62x51mm Machine Gun, 853m/s(2,798ft/s), 600rnds/min(10rnds/s)
  • 2x LAU-59 70mm Rocket Pods
  • 2x SUU-11 7.62x51mm Minigun Pods, 853m/s(2,798ft/s), 2,000rnds/min(33.33rnds/s)
  • 1x MK.4 Mod.0 20x102mm Gunpod, 1010m/s(3,313ft/s), 4,000rnds/min(66.6rnds/s)

[ Notes ]

  • very pleasing to the lazy CAS souls out there, like me, no need to constantly adjust trim, constantly correct pitch, plan turns ahead, it's just good for gunning defenseless convoys(the simpleplanes ones :3)
  • the reason why the inboard and outboard M60s have differing rate of fire is to take effect of well... tracer.... and non-tracers... since usually you don't really get that much machine gun in part saving, that's what i did to kinda simulate reality, poofsh.
  • this will be my last build in a while since the short break is now over and I'm going to focus back on studies, however, i do have a big plan ahead, or well, atleast a plan ahead, whatever it is, thanks for rooting with me, cheese to you all, and toos :3
  • also, be evil, ignore bad opinions, ignore hateful peasantry comments, ignore insufferable peoples and envious strangers and travelers, search for power and become a demon lord, join me in the endeavours of conquering negati- i mean, positivity, yes, positivity... we are evil yes yes yes >:3

  • @Thecatbaron for the G-Limiter, works alright, though i could probably use better ones

Free to use!

if ya want to make an airbase, or maybe make an airwing for a carrier, or maybe to help battleships lead their shells, you can add and use any of my planes (unless you claim them as your own creation, i will damp your pillows if you do.)


Want More Part-Efficient Aircrafts?

come along come along! we(yes, we.) have a lot of low part, simple, and realistic performing aircrafts for all to use and fight against! light performance cost and AI-spawnable, there's no reason not to! we have the little beloved Fuchs, the graceful Muromets, the Holy Mi-26, and... a lot of obscure aircrafts are available!!

P.S. I'm somewhat closing Community PEA submissions(for now), and I've read some of some feedbacks, i take notice of in particular of course, the lack of quality, especially people mislabelling low-part as "PEA"(yes, miss lunar, i do regret it), and i suppose the lot of it is because they dont know HOW to save part, i don't blame them, but when i get the time, i hope to create a tutorial on how to save part, since I have quite some that i want to share, anyway, toos, and see you later when i get around again, chii-se ( = w = )

    @TypicalBehavior911 hey, you can't build good without trying though right? just see what you can improve and eventually you'll hit the roof without realizing, ask away to the community(through forum, or DM(if it's a specific thing), or comments) if you want help, there's usually someone who will do so, the more the merrier or something something lmao

    @dekanii Mm, yeah.
    Also the crane lacks details that actually make it looks real. Like an actual machine. Especially the base, which are just plain blocks.

    I mean, the moving crane structure looks very good
    And it does looks like it cound exist
