@BurkeEnterprise Ah I see. I will fix it in the next version
@Tovarishch the area where the fuselage sweeps up, there's a definite line where that happens.
@BurkeEnterprise Thanks! You mean the whole tail section or just the area that contains the tailgunner?
Amazing!!!! I would recommend smoothing out the back though
