Sorry for the wait! Here is my take on the BV 141, famous for its asymmetrical design.
It's designers chose to separate the cockpit from the fuselage, to allow for better visibility, which was vital for its role as a recon aircraft. The tailplane was also made asymmetrical to improve the rear gunner's field of view and fire. At first, the induced roll was thought to be a problem, however, lift from the wings counteracted this roll. The countering of induced yaw was more complicated. It was solved by controlling the yaw with trim. Unfortunately, it was not as popular as its competitor, the Fw 189, so very few were made.
Features of this aircraft:
- 5 guns, 3 of which are rear guns
- 1 rear gun which can change its vertical angle with the VTOL slider
- Functioning yaw
- A camera for the rear gunner, and an orbit camera centered on the fuselage

@Devintage ah, great I'll have a gander.
@Neenyboy I've added the P.170 to my list, as well as the Bachem Ba 349 (which you should check out if you haven't already. I'm going to make allied planes first though :-)
@Devintage definitely do so! Maybe the Arado Ar E.530 or Blohm and Voss Bv P.170 them two are absolutely crazy, check em out!
@Neenyboy Woah, thanks, guess I'll be spending more time making strange German prototypes.
@Devintage you'll be getting a follow off me too!
@Devintage Ah, no problem!
@Neenyboy @RailfanEthan Oh yeah, they have a ton of weird designs, I guess you're bound to get desperate with this sort of stuff.
Thanks for the compliments
Love it! Looks great and funky as all hell can't believe it was real. Them Nazis and their weird designs haha.
Sweet beans
