A nice prop-engine heavy fighter design. Was intending on doing a twin-propeller pusher engine system, but that didn't have enough power. So I went with this instead! Three engines gave it enough speed. As I was looking at it, I thought of the Pokemon Hydreigon, which has three heads, and then thought of the Hydra, due to the Hydra having multiple heads. Thus, the Hydra was born.
The HF-32 Hydra has 6 MGs and 2 40mm autocannons, alongside two 23-rocket rocket pods and 2 torpedoes. Carrier-capable, however I couldn't get it to take off from the USS Tiny. Doubt it'd land without the hook either.
Controls: AG-7 to activate the hook. That's all.

w- 7 upvotes out of nowhere??? is the website just being fucky or is my plane getting some attention because if it's the latter then thank you for the attention
@Mustang51 mmm, okay
Ohhhhh I see the problem. The engine is a modded one. I changed the engine for a new one and it’s better now. It flies just fine on one engine with 2000HP and it’ll probably work with less too
@Mustang51 Yeah, I tried increasing the power. It might've been the drag though, where those two front engines are there was just a rather blunt nosecone. Although it blended into the wing more, so... I dunno.
@GeneralPatrick2 lack of power is easy to fix with XML. You can just increase the power of it but I don’t think you’d even need to that much. Reducing drag helps the most with increasing the planes top speed and it also helps reduce lag
@Mustang51 Ah, unfortunately I don't. The only thing that was wrong was the lack of engine power I believe. If I did still have the save though, I'd definitely let you take a look.
@GeneralPatrick2 To be honest this one seems cooler than a pusher only plane. Do you still have a save of the pusher one? I’d like to take a look at it to see what’s wrong
@Mustang51 Thanks! I just wish the pusher-only system worked out well. But at least from that came this! Thanks for enjoying this!
This is a really cool idea for an aircraft! It looks good and flies great. Nice job!
