34.8k WarHawk95  3.5 years ago

Douglas Gun Package

Guns : 2x Browning Machine Gun, .50cal, AN/M2
Ammunition : .50 BMG, 340 rounds per gun

Can be suited on the following aircrafts :
- Douglas SBD series
- Curtiss SB2C series
- Convair XTBU & TBY
- Grumman F8F series
- Lockheed P-38 series
- ....

To use, grab by the detacher in red :

Create a subassembly, and if you need multiple pods on the same aircraft, don't mirror it but grab a second subassembly

Note : realistic mass, dimensions, gun specs, even the CoM's position is realistic.


Aircraft used in thumbnail : Douglas SBD-3 by @2Papi2Chulo

Edit : important :

This pod features 2 "real" AN/M2 .50cal MGs.
You can use them on your own builds (just credit), just grab them by the receiver & use as subassemblies. Although a wing gun is used, no need to add a wing or structural panel to your build, the M2's receiver is already a structural panel.

    @WiiMini I mean...
    They're practical, they're cool, you can stack between 1 and four on your planes, giving them a subsequent firepower...

    I found the Grumman F8F carried 400 rounds per gun. So the ability to hold more and to scuttle the pod(s) if needed for weight loss is an awesome concept.
