After the success of the OV-10 Bronco, North American Rockwell wanted to further update the aircraft with speed and armament. Their solution was the OV-2 Black Thunder. The aircraft's top speed at level flight is about 430 mph. It also comes equipped with a GAU-8 Avenger, which happens to be the same gatling gun that the A-10 uses! So in some ways, it's the turboprop A-10. It also features a powerful radar system on the left wing that allows for precise observation of enemy troops or aircraft. So this aircraft would fall into the "observation and attack" category. However, due to costly reasons, North American Rockwell couldn't afford to produce large amounts of this plane. So later the Bronco II was developed and was decided to be more egonomic.
Overall, this aircraft was a lot of fun to build. It also has high manueverbility and one powerful gatling gun. I experimented with using the cannon instead, but the issue was that it didn't have a high enough firing rate and the muzzle explosion was too dramatic. So I just modded the mini gun to be very powerful. 1=Nav Lights 2=Landing Light VTOL=Flaps G=LandingGear. Enjoy!

Lol I thought I fixed it@KnightOfRen
@Hedero
When you tag him as ACEPILOT104......
@EternalDarkness
Yep.
Oh, I guess I read it wrong.@Fighterjester
i believe the OV-10 was actually made by North American Rockwell, not Lockheed
Oh thanks. I'll take a look at it.@Fighterjester
Hey, i just modified this so that it has the cannon, i hope its good enough @Hedero
Oh ok. Yea idk then.@Cobrahuey
Oregon@Hedero
Hmm, idk. What state do you live in?@Cobrahuey
Dang it. I’ve never seen the a PC-9 before lol. The C-130 was dark grey and had a light grey at the bottom. Where would it be from? @Hedero
Thanks man! That hercules must've been a site as well!@Cobrahuey
Yesterday I saw a Hercules flyover. It sounded like a Dash Q at first until I looked up. Your encounter was cooler though. I’ve seen a PC-9 before. That’s so cool!@Hedero
Well I did see one pilatus pc-9 buzz over which was super cool. It sounded like it was doing about full power so it sounded sick.@Cobrahuey
No matter what fish it was, you had a good trip and that’s all that counts. Was there any cool planes that flew over? @Hedero
XD. No I couldn't spot any parrot fish. I saw one fish chewing a little on the ground but I don't think it was a parrotfish :c @Cobrahuey
Wait a sec... THERE DEAD! WHY DO ALL THINGS HAVE TO DIE! WHY! WHY! Lol. Was there any of those parrot fish? I love parrot fish. There my favorite type of fish.@Hedero
Sadly no lol.@Cobrahuey
That’s sad. Well at least you got to see those cool fish. Was there any Nemo’s or Dory's? Lol
Well we didn't see as much coral as we hoped too. In fact I don't recall seeing any. But we did see some cool fish and whatever. It was really cool though overall.@Cobrahuey
Aw, no fair! You got to snorkel lol! Was there some tropical stuff in the ocean?
Probably when we visited Cozumel Mexico. We got to go snorkeling and swimming and whatever. But the whole trip was fantastic anyways.@Cobrahuey
What was the best part of the trip?@Hedero
I had a great time thank you!@Cobrahuey
Welcome back! I hope you had a good time! @Hedero
