Fun fact: early straight-winged F9F Panthers are really slow compared to the swept wing fighters like the MiG-15 or the F-86. Later swept-wing F9F Cougars are faster but was outshone by the FJ-4 Fury, the navy version of the F-86 Sabre.
please explain more to me on what do you really mean
Well, yesterday you uploaded that not! F9F Panther of yours, so it's pretty clear in whichever AU your world's in, the "G" prefix means "fighter jet". "FJ-4B" was the U.S. Navy designation for their variant of the F-86 Sabrejet, and that specific model carried 4 20mm guns with an ROF at 1000 shots/min each. The guns mounted on the F9F Panther/Cougar (the IRL F9F Cougar was the swept-wing version of the Panther) was the AN/M3 20mm, which had an ROF at 750 shots/min, while the M39 Cannon carried by F-86F-2 and F-86H variants have an ROF at 1500 shots/min. The Navy never had a Sabre/Fury variant with M39 cannons though, but this being your AU so nitty-gritty details like that would be easily forgiven.
@LunarEclipseSP Nah you're more than forgiven - I'm just the ungrateful nitpicker who can't take a joke. Just like all older battleships predating those WWII fast battleships are commonly referred to as a "dreadnought" even though most are either super-dreadnoughts (standard-type battleships) or early fast battleships (Queen Elizabeth class) in their own right.
Yeah, about three years ago I started talking with Gx, and about two years ago I started talking with Zoa. Back then I only knew her as his IRL girlfriend, but after last year when she made the Draco? I started viewing her as a fellow builder with a trick or two up her sleeve.
@Galaxees Well, I was here for a long time so it's natural that I picked up a few things from others... And I am working on Zoa's Echostar (used to be Gx's, but well, long story short, he died IRL so Zoa sorta took over his AU) where pretty much everything decision was done through copious amount of sketching.
@LunarEclipseSP Errr.... sorry to nitpick, but... Ol' Ironsides is a heavy sailing frigate.... A galleon looks... ahem, curvier with a raised forecastle and higher aftcastle, whereas a fully-rigged ship-of-the-line have a straighter deck and a lower quarterdeck.
@Galaxees Marvelous job for a first-timer! That said.... here's Tom's Ungrateful Nitpicking Time™: the main gears are a bit too far back (and a tad bit too small), and the engine nozzle looks a bit small for a fourth-gen - especially a fighter meant for insane speeds. More speed means more drag, and more drag means more thrust would be needed - ergo, larger engine cross section.
My suggestion, as usual, would be to make a quick sketch on the aesthetics of any original project beforehand and see where different parts should go and how well they would fit with each other.

TOS-1 Buratino?
+1@GlassyBiomNewSPUser Thanks! How's the system?
+1Grats on plat my friend!
+1@SimpleAreospace I'll test it myself. Haven't got a chance to test 1.12 as of yet. Schoolwork got busy.
Cat? No matter how I see it I see a very cute rodent... I mean, the long snout and button nose and all...
My feline friend! Good to see ya again! That said... IIRC the deadline for the Airship challenge is on the 2nd of July?
Sadboye12? You're back! Welcome back!
+1Is this the de Havilland Conmet, or is this the BAC Comecord again?
+2@LunarEclipseSP ... setting the part collision response to "none" then? Or you've already done that as well.
+1Perhaps... increasing the weight would help a bit? The Yamato IRL is about a thousand times heavier than this... and that's before modernization.

Hey, look who's back!
+1@Transair56 Thanks!

Underwing landing gears would suggest it's an F6F Hellcat, though...
@PlaneFX6 Thanks!

@SILVERPANZER Thanks. Not my design though...

Damn, it has been a year... and yet in recent months I've done astonishingly little to help this project grow...

+1Yup, the not! F-86 Sabre, the quartet of quick-firing 20-mils is a dead giveaway.
