A very rewarding plane to fly this time round and lands far far better. Colors were inspired by the Faith, Hope & Charity that protected Malta during WW2.

    @teodor99 i researched a bit on this;
    the earlier gloster sea gladiators had 2 guns under the bottom wings only, though later models added 2 right next to the engines.

    @Falkenwut officially there is 4 guns. 2 in the lower part of the fuselage and 2 on the wings. tho unofficial claims says there was possible with an additional 2 guns on the top wings making it a 6 gun gladiator. tho unofficial i wouldnt be surprised if such field modifications were the case

    @teodor99 Thank you for your feedback :)!. Was completely unaware that there were more than 2 guns on this aircraft.

    a gladiator of the skies. your version of the gladiator is quite a good designs. but if you dont mind me being a bit nit-picky, the wing mounted 7.7 guns were in small pods integrated into the lower wings. even some additional ones on top wins although its only been rumored of 6 gunned gladiators

    i say this gets a 8/10.
