History (fictional):

The “Wolf Pack” project was initiated in 1942 due to the recent release of the P-38 Lightning. At the time, the P-38 was dominant in the skies due to it’s forward nacelle mounted cannons. Tuning wing guns to collide at a certain distance wasn’t an issue. It was just literally point and shoot. The Messerschmitt aircraft corporation decided to pounce on this immediately, and “improve” the P-38’s design. Production and testing was long and costly, due to the experimental nature of their jet engines. It has to sit around 3 1/2 feet behind the cockpit, including a heavily warped intake system to compensate. The prototype of the Messerschmitt 262 crafted the forward nacelle for the Wolfhound, practically, leaving enough room in the bottom for a explosive repeating cannon. And so, in November of 1944, the Messerschmitt Bf 217 Wolfhound was introduced to the German air armada.
