The GPP-910 "Lucy" was an experimental interceptor built by Graingy in 1944 to catch and kill high-speed German jet fighters and rocketplanes at high altitudes. Its two 1500 kW engines and contra-rotating propellers let it top out at 960 km/h at over 10,000 meters of altitude.
Its downside is tricky, cumbersome controls and overall poor handling.
Still, it's one of the fastest piston-engined aircraft ever built, and for the 1940s at that, so some trade offs must be made.

@Shadow03 While I’m definitely not deserving, did you have to phrase it so rudely?
Anyways, I have connections. I’m prominent and have prominent friends. Friends who have more points, and thus sometimes spotlight.
I’ve also been upvote bombed numerous times. Some of my posts only have points from bombs.
Also, I’ve been playing for over seven years. Not very actively, granted, with a few long hiatuses, one like 1.5 years long.
Idk, I just don’t have a knack for it. It doesn’t click. I’ve tried fancier stuff, but nothing turns out well.
@Shadow03 oh, im stupid xd
@DatFiat126Fan19 he prolly got a noti about my comment. why tag him on his own post
@Shadow03 i did read the whole entire thing, maybe tag him if you wanted to get his attention?
@DatFiat126Fan19 I just did, can you read?
@Shadow03 idk, ask him?
How are you even platinum? I have seen silvers post better planes, and you have been here for 6 years
@DatFiat126Fan19 … you are not very smart, are you?
@Graingy also, off-topic but, is it a good idea to invite ashdenpaw1 into that unlisted post thingy?
@Graingy my friends just told me to play terraria since i was a 3rd jr. Highschool and i beat them so fast abouyt 3 weeks lmao 😂
@Rjenteissussy It has been ages since I played that game.
Like, a long time.
I never beat the meat. Never left the prep phase, and eventually had a data loss, ending that permanently.
@Graingy Probably check it
@TheMouse Ah. Well, I do believe I've said before that it's supposed to be like that. Graingy designers just like them.
As for the guns, they're 30mm cannons on a high-altitude, high wing loading craft. Unfortunately only so much weight is safe. You will notice, however, that despite the low fire rate (300 rpm) they hit quite hard.
@Graingy
No. Flaps were fine. I just hate backwards flaps, that also go above the wing. I understand the weapons things, it just seemed like a bit to few for my trigger happy self.
10!

@TheMouse Did I seriously forget to unmirror the flaps before uploading?
All those times I did it, and I messed it up before posting.
It's a WWII interceptor. There were no other weapons, unless you're telling me you want to use air to ground rockets against fighters?
@Rjenteissussy ?
I like it. The flaps going both ways were annoying, but it flew fairly well. Maybe next time add some weapons other than the gun tho?
Fatty. Cool plane though. Let me test it out!
I only remember terrarian's "Lucy's Axe"

@TheMouse how do you feel about wide planes?
