Two Variant Aircraft

The Messerschimidt 512 A1 Glamour is a 2 engined Fighter Bomber designed for ground support, tank hunting and dogfights. It is the successor to the BF110. It is armed with 3 30mm cannons on top of the nose and a quick firing 57mm cannon on the bottom of the nose for tank hunting (no cannons have the correct caliber so make believe).

Development: During late WW2, when the soviets started marching deeper into german ocupied territories, the BF110s who served Germany well, started becoming obsolete. Messerschimidt was ready for such moment so they unveiled the Me-512 to the Füher as a prototype with no weapons instaled. The german generals and the Great Leader himself were pleased and it was rolled into production. During 1947, 2 years before the end of the war, a jet powered version was developed called the Me-512 E1 Glamour 2. It had success but far from enough to turn the war in Germany's favour.

Controls: Standard plane controls.
VTOL for flaps.
AG1+Air to Ground for 57mm anti tank cannon.
