@ThomasRoderick Unfortunately not, Dieswen (Germany) didn't really have a good footing in air dominance until the tail end of the war, The closest would be Lucas Steinhäuser, who only had 35 aircraft kills before he was shot down, however, he piloted a captured NADF Valkyrie
Hmmm... Are there any fictional characters similar to the Red Baron in your AU?
@Mustang51 Thanks, I'm really happy with how it came out :)
This looks really great! The way you made the engine was really smart. Work smarter, not harder hahaha
@jamesPLANESii Thank you!, that's very peculiar because when I fly it, it's exceptionally stable, are you flying on high physics?
Love the engine!
It flies really well apart from that. Have a spotlight!
Looks real nice! Although it has barely any lateral stability and is almost impossible to fly straight...
