Sorry for my late reply. Yup it's a lot simpler compared to the autoloader, and also yes, feel free to incorporate it into your next build as long as you give credit.
(Also make sure to have at least 0.05s delay between your cannons for the counter to work properly)

@LunarEclipseSP
Yes, given she *is* a Gripen-F, one of those "super-Gripens", yeah...
(Funny how she's correctly portrayed as a two-seater but the RF-4EJ Phantom is portrayed as a single-seater; also funny how both got wrong canopies - Gripen was erroneously portrayed with the shorter single-seater canopy, and Phantom's canopy was plain nonsensical.)
Necro'ing, but... any chance to change the damage model on control surfaces that they don't get stuck the second someone sneezed on them? Control surfaces disintegrating when damaged enough would've made sense, them getting stuck at the angle they were hit in not so much esp. when the incoming damage is miniscule compared to the health of the wings they're attached to.
... apparently nobody heard of the Vultee XP-54 Swoose Goose, Curtiss-Wright XP-55 Ascender, or the Northrop XP-56 Black Bullet....
.
Lemme guess, the fire's caused by an improperly connected oil line?
.
Also, a tail-heavy aircraft would threaten to flip over and stall, not bury it's nose into the ground; the reason why it refused to take off is because of the disproportionately short nose gear... and it's a darn miracle that it didn't collapse under the immense power of the Merlin.
.
The sluggish yaw control on takeoff is likely due to the lack of propwash.

The verdict:
Henry should've made the nose gear longer.

TIL Nekoshima is the not!-Japan with a Nordic/Chinese defense model, aka defense in depth using littoral waters, esp. air bases built into local archipelagos .
.
Also, yeah, makes sense that Nekoshima was worse off compared to Imperial Japan, given their aviation industry would be closer to interbellum Sweden/Poland/Romania than the Axis powers. Addendum: more like interbellum France in general preparedness I guess?

Eh, for me the inclusion of magic just meant more things to balance and make sense of. Certain factions might favor magical shields while others would favor physical armor, certain factions may favor chemical engines while other may favor magical counterparts, certain factions may favor chemical guns while others may favor magitek blasters, etc.; one of my key ideals of speculative worldbuilding is "just because *some* laws of nature is different doesn't mean *all* of them are", so...
@BoredDeffy
Eh, as far as non-furry beastfolk go I'd personally prefer those with both animal and human ears.
.
A small nation with a tiny carrier (that pushes 25kn tops) fending off an enemy for four years? Either they got copious amount of foreign aid or Lochiwa isn't that much larger than Nekoshima.
... and which species is Lochiwa again? Using real-life biology as reference, both rodents and avians would have some serious amount of grudge against cats while both canids (esp. those of the canis genus) and avians (large birds of prey) are known to prey on cats, so...
.
..
... yes, I'm even worse of a nerd and also a worldbuilder, too bad I'm too stuck in making *everything* in my worldbuilding as logical and consistent as possible so...
@BoredDeffy
IIRC in most works involving cat-humanoids the presence - or lack thereof - of their human ears are rather Schrödinger-y, aka hidden behind their hair and tend to remain a mystery untill someone/something proves either to be true.
The joke about Nagoya dialect came from its tendency to use "-ya" sounds so Nagoya folks are often jokingly said to "speak like cats".

Tom's Overthinking Time™: the Felis as a genus are great ambush predators but rather poor pursuit predators, so Boom-and-Zoom designs may play better into their strengths than dedicated turn fighters.... granted, given the cats in question are based off *Imperial Japan* them winning might not be great for everyone else involved....
@BoredDeffy
Oh, oops, duly noted.
.... BTW, are they actually feline humanoids (colloquially "catboys/catgirls") or are they humans with Nagoya accent and weird hats?
Also... Hayabusa specs and canopy with an A6M oil cooler intake?
@Subsere
Yurp! Actually b/c I can't find the legacy pic on the SP site I had to get a low-res pic from google then use every tool under the sun to enhance it back into what it should look like...
@Rob119 I mean, if two toothpicks are used to hold food between them without puncturing the food, they're chopsticks, and if a pair of chopsticks is used to hold the food by puncturing the food they make a fork.
@Rob119
Given I have the tendency to use a pair of toothpicks (of all things) as both makeshift forks and makeshift chopsticks, who am I to judge...
Yup, I'm pretty sure we're gonna get burned on the same pyre... made of chopsticks.
I'm from a chopstick-using culture as well, but my family had been using them to stir drinks (and to pour liquids) along with their intended role since, well, forever. As the saying goes, "if it can only be used as intended, it's defective", afterall.

@Subsere Yes, as the lines are actually straight now and there's no noise to speak of.
+1(also I've changed my PFP to the one you uploaded)
@PrussianAirWorks Some early jets do actually resemble propeller fighters, case in point: the Yak-15 plus Yak-17 and Yak-23 that descended from the Yak-3, the La-152 and La-160 that superficially resembles both the aforementioned Yak-15 family and piston-powered Lavochkins, the Ambrosini/Aerfer Sagittario and Aerfer Ariete that ultimately descended from the Ambrosini S.7, the Saab 21R that was literally a re-engined Saab 21, and even arguably the F-86D/K/L Sabredog that shared a few visual cues with its distant ancestor the P-51D/K Mustang.
