Part-Efficient Aircrafts~!!


my first PEA Conversion, it's just... mediocre...

idk, it's the guns, it's just pretty underwhelming-ish but i guess thas that.


The Douglas AC-47 Spooky (also nicknamed "Puff, the Magic Dragon") was the first in a series of fixed-wing gunships developed by the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War. It was designed to provide more firepower than light and medium ground-attack aircraft in certain situations when ground forces called for close air support.


[ Controls ]

  • Standard Aircraft Controls
  • VTOL : Flaps

[ During Pylon Turn Mode ]

  • AG1 : Activate Gyro
  • Trim : Bank Angle Adjustment
  • VTOL : Trim
  • Camera "7.62mm Gunners" : Gunnier Gunn Gun

[ Guidelines ]

[ Taxiing ]

  • 15% Power, Yaw to turn tailgear

[ Takeoff ]

  • 100% Power, Takeoff w. Flaps around 350m+; Takeoff w.out Flaps around 480m+

[ Flight ]

  • Standard Controls; flies like a cargo plane, don't expect.. well, don't dogfight. you have 3x miniguns tho

[ Landing ]

  • 25-35% Power, adjust Flaps accordingly, do not let it go below 170km/h(105mph) during approach; descend slowly, it has a hard gear(no suspension)

[ Armaments ]

  • 3x 7.62mm M134 Minigun, 4000rpm each, 853m/s

[ Notes ]

  • pretty confusing to fly.
  • there's an Orange "laser" tracer to guide your shots, i can only do it so because of 60 parts limitation... although i could go to 70 but eh... yeah, broke one of the tenet "Manual Aim must have Crosshair", shame really.
  • yes, the thumbnail's left facing, else I can't show you the guns.

Free to use!

if ya want to make an airbase, or maybe make an airwing for a carrier, or maybe to help battleships lead their shells, you can add and use any of my planes (unless you claim them as your own creation, i will damp your pillows if you do.)


Want More Part-Efficient Aircrafts?

come along come along! we(yes, we.) have a lot of low part, simple, and realistic performing aircrafts for all to use and fight against! light performance cost and AI-spawnable, there's no reason not to! we have the little beloved Fuchs, the graceful Muromets, and... a lot of obscure aircrafts... ANYWAY COME JOIN US!!

P.S. if you want to throw in an idea, maybe a plane, a ship, anything really(I even got an interdimensional interplanetary vacuum cleaner).. go do it, I'll pick it up if i find the idea interesting enough.

    @Monarchii ITS HERE, OUT SAVIOR AND DESTRUCTOR!!!!! Sorry to hear that its disappointing, its hard to contend with 40mm bofors and 105mm howitzer. Would a C-130 and an AC-130 be possible?
