(fictional) USN-F3

Auto Credit Based on HuskyDynamics01's [CLOSED] Swing Wing Challenge

(credits to Zaineman for the radar. Check his stuff out hes cool.)

Controls: Ag1- engines Ag2- cannopy door Ag3- enable weapons Ag4- strobe lights Ag5- afterburners Ag6- drop payload/explosives Ag7- aresting hook Ag8- turn radar on VTOL down to fold wings Brake lever push up to apply brakes.

STORY:
the F-3 was developed during the 2000s as a multirole fighter. It was used to carry out defensive positions to escort fleets and protect them against enemy craft.

SPECIFICATIONS:
It is armed with a 20mm rotary cannon, 12 Aim-9P's and 2 Mk2 500lb bombs. It has a body inspired by the F-14 tomcat with the engine position and wing fold, the engines are twin turbofan engines with afterburners able to push to 1800 mph with a full load. The craft is able to take off and land on a carrier needing only 250-400 mph to lift off, it can fold the wings to allow more space for other planes on deck, but doesnt fly as well with wings folded, the plane wont pitch and roll as fast compared to the wings open. the cockpit is two seated with a radio operator and a pilot. On the planes nose, you will find a refuel probe to fuel in flight when required during a mission, if the fighter becomes very low on fuel and wont be able to land in time, a tanker plane will be summoned from nearby to allow mid air refueling. (i hope you enjoy this plane, i know its not perfect but i think it is okay)

    @Crousaderwingman just a side note if you want a US Air force craft then you can put the USAF on there but since this is a navy craft dont put USAF on ther cuz that stands for UNITED STATES AIR FORCE not navy so yeah side note done

    please take this comment in the spirit in which it was written (happy, good, means well) A couple of new buider notes (in other words I did the same thing when I was a new builder) First, turn off the camera inside of the computer/ cockpit if you already have a camera in your cockpit. Next, dont have the "auto center" on for the camera in the cockpit . 2 reasons 1, there is already a button for that while flying 2 it makes it difficult to press buttons while you're fighting with the camera to re-Center and the buttons are off to the side. other then those small things, I LOVED IT ! !
