IJA N4K "Uotaru"

20.9k LieutenantSOT  3.8 years ago
Auto Credit Based on RandomUser09's WW-2 Japanese Aircraft [Challenge] Closed

The N4K was built in 1945 to try and reclaim superiority for Japan. This plane, code named "Waterloo" by American forces, had two contra-rotating 9000 HP engines, and two 3000 HP engines, as well as a rear experimental turbojet. This plane was heavily based on the German Heinkel 162.
Meant for aerial reconnaissance and night bombing, this plane could reach 290 mph at sea level, and near 500 mph at 20,000 feet. The plane is hard to maneuver, but can easily hit its target if you are gentle with the controls.
This plane is a three-seater (one pilot, one co-pilot/navigator, and one rear gunner/bomber).

Weapons:

  • 6 1,000 pound bombs
  • 1 2,000 pound bomb
  • 1 13mm anti-air machine gun
  • 3 20mm autocannons

Controls:

  • Trim = Trim (I recommend pulling all the way down on this from the start)
  • Regular Plane controls

I hope y'all enjoy!

    This ended up being MUCH larger than I meant for it to be. But I'm too lazy to scale it down XD
    The jet originally pointed down at an angle, but I put it back to 0 because the jet applied too much down force, and it still is pretty bad, but it's better than before. Sorry this isn't my best work, I am trying two projects at once right now, and my replica needs to get done.
