INFO: Alright, here we are. This is the Mk.7 of the M.W. 448. The reason it’s a mark 7(L) is because between the time I was tweaking the plane, I got bored and made a Mk.8, so expect that in the near future.The mark 7 is the fastest, most aerodynamic, lightest and one of the fastest turning version in the 448 family; being beaten by the mark 8. This plane finally has the long awaited… Flaps. Yes, you heard me right. Now you will be able to crush your single-engined counterparts like a kid stepping on a cracker. I have also added new rockets to the plane. The regular guardian missiles were replaced with the Interceptor Speedstrike. (3x launch speed) The time it takes to get to the target makes up for the fact it locks on slower than the guardians. I also added a ‘desert vulture camouflage.
ARMAMENT: This time, I made sure it was armed to the teeth. x4 12.7mm machine guns, x4 30mm cannons, x4 Interceptor ‘Speedstrike’ rockets.
CONTROLS: Basic flight controls. VTOL down for flaps down. VTOL up for… well… you get it.

@Mostly Oh, would you like a sneak peak?
@Colonel1J2R3Wolf I try to adapt to the way people build planes today. Also, thanks! I'm a fan of your work!
Nice plane, and you're only bronze? wow
@Panzer828 that works so much better. Thank you so much
@IbuKondo try landing in Gyro or mouse mode where you roll with the mouse and pitch with it too. It's easier. Also for me I have a certain preference to aircraft and really the worst thing about it to me is it's roll and rudder control.
@Mostly ok
@IbuKondo Thanks for the review! @Panzer828 I'm gonna check that out first thing tomorrow morning :D
I honestly can't find a single problem with this plane. And that makes me question my skills in this game, haha. this plane flies perfect with the slightest twitch of flaps, and even better that it has weaponry. landing is a bit hard, but that is most likely my lack of skill at the moment. All in all, I'd give this a solid 9/10, that one point being my incompetence at the stick souring my flight.
I only have one so far. You should check it out.
@Mostly I'm also starting a new series of aircraft the P.L.H. Line of airplanes. You inspired me with your M.W. lol
The mosquito is a strike fighter they just used it as a heavy fighter a lot too
@Mostly really heavy fighters are the most versatile but what separates them from strike fighters and attackers is speed usually heavy fighters a fast enough to keep up with bombers and have defensive armorment the rest is forgotten. A strike fighter is faster than a heavy bomber and sometimes a normal fighter and is meant to strike fast and precise. And an attacker is slow Carrys a heavier payload than a heavy fighter and is meant to support tropps or attack vehicles.
@Mostly nope just heavy fighter since heavy fighters are meant to carry heavy weapons ground attack and escort bombers. Strike fighters are more like IL-2 mixed with a Fw-190 in characteristics. You can mix them and get something like the da havaland mosquito which is a mix between an attacker and heavy fighter making it an strike fighter/heavy fighter. If that makes sence
@Panzer828 The mark 8 will have a dual torpedo/6 rocket and a 10 rocket loadout which means it will be a strike fighter/heavy fighter!
@Mostly again more of a heavy fighter lol really good 2 engine design.
@Kerbango Thanks so much! I'm flattered :P
Mostly awesome.
