Lore: In a near future, another world war was started again. During the intense moment of the war, a large country of Europe came up with an idea of reviving old aircrafts and modernize them. Among these aircrafts, some are way too good that only ace pilots can be able to control them, these aircrafts are called prototype fighters. There are more than 10 prototype fighters in total. However, the P-76's story is another thing. The P-76 was intended to be a production aircraft, it’s a fighter jet that was based on the P-38 from the US. However, there was also a note from the government that the aircraft must unable to be hit by missile. With its twin tail design, giving it thrust vectoring would be way too dangerous, so the engineers went up with another idea, EMP. After days and nights, they were finally able to successfully make the EMP, it can disable any lock missile within a radius of 10 km. But the EMP required way too much efforts to make it, moreover, if only one plane use it, then there wouldn't be any problems, but if multiple aircrafts use it, then it will cause harm to everyone including the pilot in its EMP radius. So, because of that, the P-76 had to become a protorype fighter.
Alright, that's enough for the lore. This aircraft is my third original plane in simpleplanes. It's very easy to fly. It's armed with 2 gamma machine guns, 1 laser gun and 10 air to air missiles. The control groups are in the instruction. Now, without further ado, have fun!
