(I know the pictures might not look that good, but download this beast, it looks, flies, and operates perfect in game :D )
Madagascar's military industry was failing, until a young engineer created a company, JohnCorp, and built this beauty. Has a huge gun mounted on the side, and drops incendiaries (rocket pods)
WalkerAviation backstory:
Backstory: Due to the German occupation of Africa and the rapid advancement of German aircraft technology, Madagascar's aircraft industries were forced to design more advanced aircraft. Development of the JohnCorp JO-1B gunship started on May 17, 1944. Madagascar's air force wanted a new revolutionary strike aircraft that would incorporate a side mounted cannon. When the test aircraft was being developed, a standard 3 bladed propeller was mounted onto both engines. When the engineers conducted engine testing however, they noticed that the engine did not produce enough power to get to sufficient speeds. The 3 bladed propeller was removed and a 5 bladed propeller was installed. A set of two incendiary rocket pods were installed towards the rear of the fuselage, which could be activated either by a panel at the rear of the aircraft fuselage or by a panel in the cockpit. The aircraft soon entered mass production and entered service on January 29, 1946. Many pilots and gunners liked the aircraft due to it's tremendous firepower and durability. Of the 3,500 JO-1B aircraft manufactured, they destroyed a total of 13 factories, 43 bridges, 2,120 armored vehicles, 8 airfields, 421 patrol boats, 20 freighters, 8 destroyers, 4 frigates, 2 submarine, 17 U-boat hangars, 3,713 aircraft, and even 51 heavy bombers that were in formation. However there were a few problems with the aircraft. Upon takeoff, the aircraft would roll to the left if the airspeed was not high enough. This lead to the aircraft's controls being unresponsive which 80% of the time caused the aircraft to crash. Another problem was that the incendiary rockets would sometimes not launch out of the rocket pod, however this problem was fixed after engineers used more durable wire. check him out!
AG 1 while in flight to lower cannon, and use VTOL to move up and down.
Hope you enjoy

@WalkerAviation wow! That's awesome!
