New Weimar Kobra-2 Fighter

929 IssaIwan  5.2 years ago

After the fall of the Reich and the rise of the New Weimar Republic, most existing Reich designs were modified under the same name they had before. One such design was the Kobra-2, a failed experiment in which they tried to make a bomber/interceptor hybrid. However, it was slower, less manueverable, less accurate (machine guns were spread father apart due to propellers in the way and lack of space for a synchronization gear), and had general flight problems caused by a combination of its weight and shape. But this design is far better. Propellers were lowered as wings were raised, a stronger section was added to extend the wings, tail wing & fin size increased, length slightly extended, fuel capacity increased, and the 7.62 machine guns were replaced with 20mm cannons that are in the center and fitted with a synchronization gear. The new Kobra-2 was better in every way, and can perform multiple roles instead of just torpedo bombing. This variant of the Kobra-2 is specialized as a long range fighter, with no bomb mounts and more centered fuel tanks. Simply removing the primary fuel tanks or reducing their size to 10-20% of their current size can turn the plane into a carrier-based fighter.

    The gear is connected to them via a piston. The piston is the problem. I can't have it extended by default. @Tw1st3dPs7ch0

    Just put it down as soon as you spawn. There isn't really a means of getting where it's down by default. @Tw1st3dPs7ch0
