P-59 Airacomet | WW2 Jet Challenge

6,005 LimeAir  1.4 years ago
Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's WW2 Jets Challenge 8/23 [CLOSED]

The P-59 was Americas first jet fighter. It never saw combat and was later replaced for the much better P-80. The B variant featured a 37mm autocannon and 2 .50 cal. M2 browning machine guns. This plane features a full cockpit (even if the B variant had a barebones cockpit) and Im gonna make an alternate paint job soon.

This plane features no activated groups. Thrning on autopilot does stabilize the aircraft, though you need to control altitude with trim.

Hope you enjoy, everyone!

    Your P-59 is not trashy, but the P-59 is.
