Egret
A maneuverable and heavily armed French heavy fighter, they were designed to be cheap to produce and easy to fly, thus becoming one of the most numerous French aircraft of the war. They were also used in bomber and reconnaissance roles in different variants.
This plane didn’t really take all that long to build, surprisingly. I really like the Potez 630’s straightforward design, so I made a similar plane. It’s fast, maneuverable, and overall really fun to fly around. It’s also somewhat heavily armed with 6 machine guns and two cannons underneath the fuselage. There’s a rotating turret and an interesting idea of a mock partial canopy with it (using a fuselage inlet if you are wondering). Have fun screwing around with this thing!
(Also big thank you to TitanIncorporated for telling me about the Aircraft Reflections settings, it has greatly improved my crappy iOS screenshots)
AG1 to activate the turret, and VTOL to rotate it left and right.

@ThomasRoderick Don't worry I now know
Also thank you for the big upvote streak
@TurtlesThatFly Set the guns to disableAircraftCollisions = "true"
@CoxinhA Thanks for the good review!
@TitanIncorporated The reason the turret has low mobility is because it can shoot the tail off, and you can't really XML the gun/part it's shooting through to not to my knowledge, hence why my last horizontally rotating turret plane had inverted rudders
You can do it if you want to, just please make it autocredit me because the last plane you made did not autocredit
has a decent ability to carry bombs, and maintains maneuverability.very good!
