[PEA] Douglas AC-47
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.

it's just not as satisfying as I'd like it tbh, sad.
Part-Efficient Aircrafts~!!!!!!!
Looks pretty decent!
@C47skytrain prolly someday, prolly..
Kinda hard to use tbh, have to use my left hand to shoot AND aim, oh well :/
@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?
@Monarchii good job
@WritersCrusadersAirCo the AC-47????
