Auto Credit Based on McChezborger's 1930s challenge (ClOSED)
For the 1930s Challenge (Fictional Design). During the 1930s the British air scene was obsessed with a few things, thinking biplanes were still superior, and having to make the weirdest looking airplanes known to man. One of those things was the “turret fighter”, which is made by designing an adequate looking single engine fighter and weld a giant turret behind the pilot. But the turret doesn’t just add weight and drag, because by activating AG1 and looking around, you can utilize the guns and shoot down any enemy in a 360 degree view, with degrees of elevation and depression included, just don’t shoot down your own plane.

@McChezborger thanks for the great rating, I kind of got lazy with the cockpit a little bit, couldn’t think of what could go in it without making it look too modern
Rating:
Looks: 4/5. Nice looking, detailed enough, and a cool design overall
Performance: 5/5. Fulfills all my need, first plane to be able to outperform F3F
Realism: 3/5. Detailed decently, not the most detailed, but nice. Also flys realistically
Total score: 12/15
