P-38xR Super Lightning

4,841 NovaTopaz  9.1 years ago
Auto Credit Based on BigCat's (CLOSED) Warbird Combo Challenge!

A fictional fighter, it is a modified P-38 Lightning frame with combination engine style of the XF2R Dark Shark and the wings of the Me-262.(Odd note, on this aircraft, the jet engine consumes less fuel and gives more speed than the turbo props. Could be fixed by using manual pitch control.) It also has 8 .50 cal machine guns(similar armament to the P-47).

Activation Group 1 for turbo props
Activation Group 2 for turbo jet

    @BigCat Thanks! I figured taking a combination aircraft would be something unique. Otherwise, performance is average, and looks are about average as well.
