Hawker Hunter (cold war entry)
The Hunter F.1 entered service with the Royal Air Force in July 1954. It was the first high-speed jet aircraft equipped with radar and fully powered flight controls to go into widespread service with the RAF. The Hunter replaced the Gloster Meteor, the Canadair Sabre, and the de Havilland Venom jet fighters in service.
I poured all my knowledge into this fighter and it has been my absoulute favorite plane. It is extremly good looking and seamless. I went for a more post-cold war look, but who doesnt love missles (so I added a couple). The Hawker varient that this models had six hardpoints and I utilezed them for four missles (detach 1-4) and two external fuel tanks/bombs (detach 5).
The plane has an extremly realistic take off speed at 100 mph and it is by far my most stable plane yet. VTOL up is for gear and after take off throttle back to around 60% for the most realistic flight speed (750 mph). To land simply get to a good speed 80-100 mph (brake for air brakes) and land on the back wheels just slightly and the nose tips down beautifully.
I would prefer to have this plane have no ordance because it flies better without but I love missles to much, but if you dont please take them off and see what kinda performance you get outta her. Please rate, comment, and have fun!!
