C-47 Sky Train

3,470 VRCaPable  1.3 years ago

A well known troop transport airplane known most well as the "Sky Train" during WWII, it was used widely by the Allies throughout the war. I did not make this plane but I thought I could zip tie some cool armaments to it...... so I did. this includes: four guided bombs, two heavy wing cannons, an auto aiming turret, a 50. caliber window machine gun, as well as a rocket launcher next to the windo gun. Note: I did not make the auto aiming turret and I kind of ripped off the machine gun from the Gator 2. This plane flys really well, kudos to the original maker. I know auto credit says I made it but thats because I reposted like 6 times, I kept finding problems after I had already posted it. Good day old chaps.

    Also, auto credit does not say that I already made this so whoo hoo but I'd like you to know that I did not make this aircraft, only modified it.

    I know this is a plane strait out of WWII and that I strapped weapons strait out of the Second Gulf War on to it but, who cares.

    I was quite depressed to find out that the auto aim turrets don't actually work as well as I thought they would.

    @C47skytrain thanks, I obviously didn't know the exact model so I just called it a C47 because that's what it looked like to me at the time.

    @VRCaPable This isn't a C-47, this is a commando, It is to fat to be a C-47!
