1935 XVI foxhound

43.9k PlanesOfOld  8.2 years ago

The Foxhound was designed to the same order as the Keg II but did not enter service untill 1936 due to unreliability in earlier versions,

Pilots found the foxhound a great plane to fly, as it wasn't as unforgiving as the keg, it sacrificed firepower and agility for speed and was obsolete by the outbreak of WWII its armament was twin vickers K 303 guns in the cowering and one browning 303 in the prop spinner.

The prototype crashed due to engine failure on landing killing the pilot as well as ground crew in the hangar it crashed into, 7 were injured in a result of the wing collapsing a controll tower, due to this the second prototype was delayed and the first successful flight was made on January the 8th 1936 the second prototype suffered all sorts of engine failures due to an unreliable engine designed by colonel turd Mc ridicule. Mr Xiphias was not impressed with the engine so designed a 1500hp powerplant to power the fighter, by the time this was made it was mid 1936 and the aircraft was rushed into production.

It only saw active combat in the 1937 Imperial wars where it proved extremely successful against the aircraft that they used, in the end it did not matter that the foxhound had only 3 guns for a toddler farting in the general direction of an imperial aircraft could destroy it,

It made only one ace and that ace's name was Benjamin 'Steel Wing' Brown who spent his days downing over 47 imperial bombers carrying chemical weapons, He modified his foxhound and have it reenforced wings and more armour a 2000hp twin row radial engine with contra rotating propellers and a 50mm cannon instead of the three guns in the front, he rammed quite a few enemy fighters and it only took a single shot to part the wing of a bomber from its fuselage using the mighty 5 cm he was credited with over 50 kills 21 of witch were ramming kills, he is the highest scoring foxhound pilot.


Enjoy.

If this gets 10 upvotes I'll upload Benjamin's modified foxhound
