INFO: Dedicated to TheOwlAce. This is a one Week project I made which is a short ranged bomber interceptor aircraft for a nation that needs it. This plane is especially crafted and painted for the german air force. There is really not much to say about this plane. At 30k+ feet it can go over 550mph. The plane against the average prop fighter turns slower but can outperform it in: armament, speed, and aesthetic performance (such as stalling, flatspins, etc.)
ARMAMENT: x2 30mm cannons x2 12.7mm machine guns x1 40mm armor piercing nose cannon
CONTROLS: Basic flight controls. VTOL ¾ down for maximum turning performance. VTOL all the way down for landing.
-Do not delete the box extruding from the front. It’s what connects the 40mm cannon and it will not obstruct your vision.

@Panzer828 sure
@Mostly ok may I post my version of it?
@Panzer828 FWI The plane was not originally supposed to have the historic color scheme. It's supposed to fit the colors used in the planes that TheOwlAce used.
If you don't mind I'll post it
@Mostly you are very very good at building aircraft I really like how you made it look and don't forget you can also costomize the propellers and how much power it puts out and the amount of blades and well just look. I somewhat improved on it and made it look a bit more like it would be in the Luftwaffe
@Panzer828 Thanks for the info. I'll look forward to using it in future projects!
And the game doesent use IAS it uses ground speed. Meaning it's actually going 200-300mph at 30k not 500. There is less air the higher you go and engines need air to propell themselves.
Also Germans relied on 13mm mgs and not .50s
Exept the back prop which should when you have 2 props always rotate the opposite direction of the other prop so torque is cancelled out
@Mostly amazing design though flies perfectly
@Mostly more like a heavy fighter than an interceptor. Interceptors are the fastest and meant to get to high altitude fast and be small and normally have lightish weapons. Basically as light as possible as small as possible and as fast as possible. Like the mig-3 or the Fw-190A-1 they aren't focused on maneuverability or firepower exept the butcher bird but speed mainly. The later fw-190s turned into fighters. Your aircraft is like a p-38 or an f82 mixed with a do-335. Carry heavy weapons a little fast and can escort for long periods of time or used as an attacker (heavy fighters are the most versatile aircraft in ww2)
