Original

The Grumman F6F Hellcat is an American carrier-based fighter aircraft of World War II. Designed to replace the earlier F4F Wildcat and to counter the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero, it was the United States Navy's dominant fighter in the second half of the Pacific War, it was armed with 6 12.7mm M2 Browning machine guns, with 2400 rounds, it can go up to 629 km/h top, and had a service ceiling of 11.000 meters, it was retired in the late 1960s

In this SP version though, the plane had a 70% (1:1.428) scale, it had a lower top speed and service ceiling, but overall it is pretty similar, the guns had accurate properties of the actual M2 Browning used on the plane, the plane is also fast and heavy, it can outrun the Zero but not outturn it, however it can dispatch one with just a short burst from the machine guns, to land this plane, maintain a speed of 181-204km/h on final approach, and upon landing slowly brake until the tail touches the ground, after which increase the brake to 70%, after the plane reaches 20km/h it is safe to fully brake.

    @Highbraker I made it using Canva, for the background I just took a screenshot of a random spot on the map, put it into the background, crop, and just blurred it, for the planes I spawned them into this mod map called Greenscreen Map, took a picture of them, remove the green screen background, and then put it into the picture with the blurred background.
