A-57 Pilum

4,880 JB56  3.8 years ago

Since the glass cockpit update, I decided to post some of my new planes and upgraded planes with the new glass. The A-57 is a heavy fighter-bomber of the late 1930s early 1940s era. Designed around two 850HP twin row radial engines, the A-57 has good speed and power for an aircraft ofits size and era, and enough mid to high speed turn rate to keep its self defended against defending fighter aircraft. Offensive firepower consists of two .50 caliber and two .30 caliber machine guns, and a belly mounted bomb rack capible of holding a 1000 LB bomb. AG 1 to drop bomb, AG 2 for landing lights. AG 8 for nav lights. cockpit fully detailed. Enjoy!
