The Grumman F6F Hellcat is an American carrier based fighter plane starting to operate in 1943, it was designed to replace the old F4F Wildcat that was having trouble fighting against the Japanese A6M Zeros, it was armed with 6 12.7mm M2 Browning machine guns, with 2400 rounds, it can go up to 629 km/h top, and had a service ceiling of 11.000 meters, it was retired in the late 1960s

In this SimplePlanes version however, there's not really much of a difference (except for speed, range, and service ceiling), but it sure does fly somewhat sluggishly, its like a small whale, even my KX-103 did better, and, you can fight it with the Zero if you want
