Auto Credit Based on d45h's Low Rank Challenge (CLOSED)

The "Widowmaker" is an light transonic naval jet, that is capable of carrying both air to air and air to surface weapons. It was made to provide support or escort high value targets in flight. It carries 3x 50mm cannons and is capable of aerial refueling.

The Cannons in the Left & right of the fighter uses Armor Piercing munitions, while the
Cannon in the middle uses High Explosive Rounds.
Cannon Munition belt from the left & right uses
AP,AP,Tracer
And the same goes for the middle cannon

For the controls
VTOL Down-Airbrakes
TRIM Down-Flaps
Throttle 96%-Afterburner
AG1-Tailhook

And when landing, put throttle at
20-30%. Dont worry about the aircraft tipping over since I equipped an gyroscope to stabilize the aircraft when landing.
