backstory
It was June third, 1944 and Hitler announced the emergency fighter program. The crumbeling third reigh needed an aircraft that was fast, cheap and easy to build, without losing speed nor firepower. This is where Blohm and Voss came in, with an old blueprint made in 1942. With triple engines used of wrecked FW 190 aircraft, twin 7.5 centimeter cannons used from an old AA instalation and frames of wood, it was a sight to behold. But in the end, this idea wasn't approved. It was shelved in favour of faster jet aircraft. But not in this timeline.
Some SPecs
440 mph top speed
3 engines
Custom landing gear and codes
Good meneuvrebility (and accurate, i have a homebuild foam model of this aircraft)
Armament
5x 7,92mm MG42
2x 7.5 cm fused cannons - Activated using the Aictivation™ missle (not offensive)
Cannons activate in about 6 miles, activation within 3 degrees of the front (for the ai dogfight)

@winterro noted. I do want to apologise for.. closing the challenge.
@Monarchii there’s an auto-aim turret in the nose, when the angle is 3 degrees or less it activates the cannons
how exactly does the 3° activation code work..? i might wanna use something similar later or so
@Planebuilder2122 it is already
@winterro just tell me when you upload it
@winterro thanks
@Farewellntchii The cannons are there to make a battle more fair, some planes like Wibbleys skydance have set the
partColissionResponsetoNone, Disabling chain explosions and not benig able to catch fire, the use of the cannons is to nulligate the advantages ofpartcolissionResponseNone. Allowing to nulligate armor.Meanwhile, il be tweaking the cannons
@Farewellntchii i saw someone with a landcaster with the same systems, but with litteral autoaim. Maybe take a look at it?
@Planebuilder2122 done
@Farewellntchii a VT fuse is the explosions that follow your aircraft i suppose?
I can make the fuse more inaccurate, so it only hits within one mile.
Way in range for wingguns to compete
i can also remove it i suppose.
@Farewellntchii It is a little bit fictional, the cannons are based on the HS 129 B3. But it was slow, so there were plans proposed for the BV 170 to have something like this.
@Farewellntchii i can make a scetch if u like, if not.
what about 60 mm?
The system that this plane uses a rack in the main hull with 25- 30 rounds, that also is the reason why the cockpit is so far back. it feeds a rack in wing, with a drum on the end, 5 in the drum, feeds the cannons.
@winterro that's the link

@winterro one sec
@Planebuilder2122 il look at it, wheres the link?
Hey winterro, I need some help with a tyrannosaurus Rex I'm making, I need to make the legs work, so if you want could you please help me? I will upload the current version for you to look at
