The Yak-15 was the USSR's earliest jet fighter, although it never saw cambat it was used to train pilots that were used to flying piston engined planes to fly jet powered aircraft. If it ever saw combat it would've been an easy target for enemy fighters as it had a severely under powered turbo jet and only two 23mm cannons with only 60 rounds each.
This is probably one of the better things I've made so far! Throttling down from 100-0% has a pretty good looking burnout if you're directly behind it, other than that there's really nothing special about it.

@TheGuyYouMightKnow thanks for taking a look
@freddykrueger gave an upvote

@AudioDud3 RIp
Lol, just was thinking of making this pkane
@AviownCorp yes I remember you asked if I was ccooper on my first plane, I've also gotten General360, OldColonel, IFalco, and DankMeme
@Pilotmario go right on ahead
Wait a sec, do i know you? XD @TheGuyYouMightKnow
I might try turn this into a Yak-3 some day.
After all, the Yak-15 was basically a Yak-3 with a reverse-engineered Junkers Jumo 004 turbojet.
@TheGuyYouMightKnow you reminded me of ccooper
@Athaya go ahead, I wanted to make my own but I was also trying to push this out for no particular reason, I tried moving them more to the center to make it more realistic but it just didn't look as good.
