The Tigershark Mk II is Epic Engineering's first entry into the Seaplane Challenge by BOSKnight.

(Colour scheme of the pre production model depicted can differ slightly.)

Background

This is a 1930s era Seaplane that fuses the cutting edge of contemporary racing technology with a bit of fantastical firepower to create a high-speed fleet interceptor.

Design

Heavily based on the Dassault MD 445 Dauphin from Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, this is a single-engine monoplane hydroplane. Installing the extremely powerful engine this plane possesses did not come without issue. However, issues lead to innovation here at Epic Engineering, leading to the introduction of the RVS.
The RVS is a heatsink that opens up and allows the rapid dissipation of engine heat. The flaps that open up in the process act as airbrakes, enabling rapid deceleration.
Armed with 2 custom central 7.92mm Gatling machine guns, the Tigershark can put a huge amount of lead down range

Handling

Yaw control is needed when taking off both from land and water. This aircraft features full trim control and huge flaps for some impressive STOL capabilities. In a dogfight, this aircraft is more of a boom and zoomer, not achieving the best sustained turn rate.

Instructions

AG2: War Lights
