P-55 Ascender is a fighter-interceptor designed in USA in 40s.

On the plane there are 4 machine guns 12.7-mm.

    Awesome crafting! I really like the addition of the vibration when you shoot the gun. Gives it that realistic feeling. Nice detail and it is easy to fly.

    Oh wait nvm I see what’s happened. You’ve accidentally sat trim to go the wrong way on one of the horizontal stabilisers. Still, very nice plane. :)

    Desperately needs trim since it has a habit of pitching down, but that’s my only complaint. Very nice!
