MP-3F C Variant

This is a remodel of the original MP-3F, as I wasn't particularly happy with some details and performances. Plus, the internals for the turret have been made, but due to the limitations of my phone, I didn't manage to expand it with cockpit internals, and extra details.

History of the aircraft

The MP-3FC fixed most issues with the previous model. While the speed was slightly decreased compared to the formal fighter, the ventilation and radiation system has been improved, as well as fixing some issues with the hinges and the control surfaces. The structure has been reinforced, and the fighter had been lightened of three cannons on the front to be then substituted by six 14mm machine guns. Thus, the final itineration of the MP-3FC has been made.

The MP-3FC was created as a dedicated heavy fighter and bomber destroyer. Thanks to the strong structure and armor, along with a powerful electrically operated turret armed with twin 37mm cannons, the MP-3FC is capable of tearing apart bomber formation while minimizing its own losses. It can keep up with fighters with sheer firepower and strength, allowing for head-ons and tanking a few hits to blast anyone on its tail, but it is susceptible to fire from below and to the engine compartment, due to how packed it is.

Max Speed: 525km/h at 1000m
Overboost Speed: 700km/h at 1000m
Armament: 2x37mm Cannons on Turret, 6x14mm Machineguns on Wings

Tips and tricks

The aircraft is not at all good in turn fights. It prefers to boom and zoom, thanks to the powerful engines and structural strength.

To help roll the aircraft, you can use the rudder, as it has a large surface and helps roll the plane

Avoid exposing your belly to enemy fighters, and focus on keeping your cannons on them

Approach bombers from starboard, and head-on with fighters. Getting them on your back works too, but avoid getting hit from below

Utilize the stabilizers limited roll to keep your plane moving, while you fire at the enemy
