Nakajima A1N2 [MOBILE FRIENDLY!]

330 JedQ2  2 months ago

This is the remaster version of my previous A1N, smaller, lighter, but less maneuverable since it's got some change, like rescale, some improvement, and some other changes

Okay, i'll tell a bit story about this aircraft

The A1N was the Japanese Carrier-Based Fighter to replace the aging Type 10 carrier, only entered short service (1929-1935) before it replaced by A2N. A1N is a licensed built of Gloster Gambet by Nakajima and took first flight in 1927. The A1N1 equipped with 420 hp engine and the A1N2 equipped with 450 hp engine.

My model isn't realistic enough, but it's max speed is close to it's IRL max speed. The maneuverability of this model also not very good, literally it's heavy and unstable under 125km/h. Anyway, 125km/h is also the take-off speed, so.... yeah, it's not STOL altough logically biplane take-off speed is supposedly low. The weapon isn't too much, just like previous model, only 2x MG and 2x light bomb. Yea.... at least in this model i try to make it more similar with the real one by scale (my previous model is doubled by scale, sorry). Maybe my next upload is to fix the take-off speed and the gun. So, enjoy this model

Have fun!
