@LEEEEEX
- Originality:
9/10
(never heard of this plane, and this is the only XP-68 on the site. The only thing's stopping me is the other XP-54 which was submitted, it may be a coincidence but it still reduces originality)- Looks:
12/15
(looks good and accurate)- Performance:
10/15
(pitched up a lot on takeoff. I solved this by adding weight to the front of the plane, and I could then shoot down B-17s with it.)- Features:
5/5
(gun)- Overall:
36/45
