Pinpoint

26.9k Sunnyskies  8.9 years ago

In combat, planes with tight clusters of rapidly-firing, forward-facing guns are said to have a "buzzsaw" effect. Pinpoint demonstrates this perfectly. This mostly stable air-to-air gunfighter has 4 tightly-grouped miniguns and a single machinegun for pinpoint accuracy. The propeller engine is mounted behind the cockpit to make room for the guns in the nose. The lower fuel consumption rate of the turboprop over jets gives Pinpoint a much longer loiter time, letting it snipe down many more enemies. Be careful when landing, an excessive descent rate will break the propeller on the runway. Come in at 10% throttle and be gentle.
