119k DestinyAviation  8.4 years ago

Notes:
-Keep pitching up until the plane lifts off pf the runway. Then you can roll freely
-Hprrible cockpit view. Sorry!

History: In 1943, the Luftwaffe put out a request for a new night fighter. It had to be light and seat a maximum of two crew members to keep the weight down. Messerschmitt submitted their design, the Me-243 Nachtschwärmer (Nighthawk), which was ultimately selected. It was finished and went into service in early 1944 and served until the end of the war with huge success.

    I'm going to be honest and say that I couldn't get the full message of your comment. But, I can understand that you don't like how simple this plane is. I'm going to say that I wanted it to be simple and that I'm running out of ideas, so this is the best I can do right now. @CaesiciusPlanes
