The Bell P-59 Airacomet was a twin jet-engined fighter aircraft, the first produced in the United States, designed and built by Bell Aircraft during World War II. I was really inspired by the Warthunder P-59 model. I really hadn't seen it anywhere else. So I figured I'd build it. And also because its the first jet fighter in America! It flies quite nicely, and I actually tried putting some fuel tanks on the wings, but I guess it was too heavy, because the landing gear would buckle. So I left them off. But it comes armed with 2 wing guns on the nose. Perfect for destroying air targets. So yeah, it's a blast to fly and I think you'll enjoy it.

G=LandingGear
VTOL=Flaps
Enjoy!

not at all, they have almost no similarities. @KnightOfRen
Is the P-59 kinda america's take on the Me 262?
Thx@ACEPILOT109
@Hedero ya
Oh sweet. Can you tag me on it?@ACEPILOT109
I forgot you made this, I was looking up P-59s cause I’m maki one.
Thanks so much dude!@Mustang51
Wow this is the best build of this aircraft on the sight. Fantastic work!
Yea, it feels good to have built the first jet of its kind on the site.@lilgreen06
@Hedero I know, when I found out that the Bell P-59A wasn't already on the game I got super excited, and I had to make one, I wanted to be the first person to make one, so I did.
Oh well thank you! But hey, being the first to make a p-59 is cool in itself.@lilgreen06
you are the second person to make the Bell P-59A, I was the first...BUT...........Yours looks way cooler than mine
Oh ok@JediWolf
@Hedero well I have 2 premium planes but they are the rewarded ones for completing the tutorial (the second one was actually free after some update long before naval was a thing)
Ahhh well WT is an odd game. It isn't a pay to win game but it almost is. Most videos teaching the best way to earn sl suggest buying a premium aircraft because of the great boosters they offer. But I don't want to pay real money to do good. So Warthunder is a great game except for the Pay-to-win type gameplay. @JediWolf
@Hedero mid tier air RB as the U.S. is basically rigged as well..... chance of winning is almost 0% I estimate the chance to be 1.5% if your not upteired to face K-4's those things are RIDICULOUSLY OVERPOWERED! and people say the Germans are power creeped.....
Dang that's frustrating. I unlocked the f-82 but it costs 62k I think to train a crew. I'm sitting in a steady pool of 58k, everytime I battle I make as much as I spend lol.@JediWolf
@Hedero yup I'm that broke.... about 23k SL if I remember..... the boat I'm gonna get next is about 27k
Dang@JediWolf
@Hedero I'm broke myself..... can't even buy a rank 2 boat......
Oh I don't know. I haven't been playing WT too much recently because I can't earn SL to save my life!@JediWolf
this thing is the first and ONLY rank IV jet in the game last I looked has there been any more rank IV jets added?
@Hedero you're welcome.
Oh I found it. So just a rotator with a wing attached to it. Thanks! @EternalDarkness
@Hedero dig into this one and find flaps, then check their position relative to CoM. They're under the canopy, inside the black stripe.
