Escarti FA-59A4 "Challenger"

27.8k Dragoranos  2.6 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Walvis's Remaster Challenge [CLOSED]

Back 2 origins

One of my first 3 loaded planes, this is my favorite of them all!

This plane took about 1 week to finish, after doing several redesigns.

I hope it's within the rules

Original plane:
reeeeeee

History

"02/03/1941
Some requirements for a new plane were recently opened, for a fighter that surpasses the Bf-109, and that has a long range. The drawings made by EAI are being considered sufficient to work.
03/05/1942
A new 1200 horsepower engine is being planned for the N.83, as the plane is currently being called. It is not known if the engine will be reliable, probably not, honestly speaking, as the most powerful engine that is really reliable we have is the Merlin, considering things like size and fuel consumption.
10/02/1942
Damn, the plane has to outrun another fighter, the Fw-190, which outrun the Spitfire. the prototype flew, anyway. From what I understand the plane was very maneuverable, much more than the Mustang Mk.I, at least.
05/19/1943
The plane is accepted for service, as the A2 variant, which is having reliability problems on that damn 1200hp engine. The A3 version will test the new engine, which seems to be one of the most powerful to this day.06/08/1943
A 2000hp engine was mounted into the aircraft, which is now called FA-59, I doubt that lasts more than 2 hours of flight, but it will have to be it, the German fighters are very fast
02/01/1944
The new year ended a day ago, and that 2000hp engine held up well, to my surprise, the plane is in the A4 version, with a new compressor which gave more 200hp to the engine, definitely one of the fastest planes that this company created.
The plane won several battles in a row, escorting the American bombers that are so famous, but the Mustang it's still more reliable, cheaper, and much better at high altitude anyway.
01/01/1946
The war ended some time ago, the plane I worked on for so long is already getting outdated, because of the jet engine, which I'm already working with. It's very weird, the plane that made me gain experience faster than any prewar engineer also ended up faster than any prewar plane. But anyway, the next generation of aircraft uses basically German engines, but with names in English (or Russian, but we don't talk about that) tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States are increasing, I hope the world will be without another war for at least 40 years, but I doubt that will happen, so I cant use all that I knew from when planes didn't go (hardly) over 725kph, because in just 2 years the planes are already reaching more than 800kph, this at low altitude! so it will be difficult for me to adapt to this new type of plane, where speed serves more than the actual maneuverability of the plane."

Normal airplane controls
AG2 jetison the external fuel tank
Thats it

Some things I want to talk about this plane

I've wanted to do a remaster of this plane for a while, but I was out of ideas on how, because lately I'm having a crisis of ideas about WWII planes lol
Anyway, I finally did it, I really liked the result, and I intend to do more things with planes that are not supersonics
mostly WWII, but also some jets

    Could make this plane a successor of this challenge:
