Introducing the BV-179
This asymmetric fighter was never developed but small documentation of it floats around on luft 46.
Mounting two MG151/20 20mm cannons on its cockpit pod, it has a decent punch.

Being driven by a BMW 801 or retains the same engine as a FW109 on a interestingly asymmetrical platform.

AG1 starts the engine and AG2 opens the cockpit
VTOL to operate the flaps.
