VTOL down for flaps. VTOL up for spoilers and air brakes. Press (1) to drop belly stores. Press (2) to drop wing stores. A Pummeler Mk 2 equipped with the T3000C engine, fitted with a Mk 5 propeller as well as the addition of a "glass" electronic cockpit. The Pilotmario Air Force was interested in the glass cockpit, although decided not to adopt the T3000C powerplant for the Pummeler due to logistics issues; the Pilotmario Air Force has thousands of these aircraft, and the cost of upgrading their engines would be enormous, not to mention the cost of new parts to supply them and train mechanics on the new engine. This aircraft is much faster and more fuel effcient than the original Mk 2. While the PAF did not adopt the engine upgrade, other operators with smaller fleets have.

@Spikerya Pretty much the Pummeler in a nutshell.
In fact, the Pummeler was based off a (very bad) model of the P-47 I first made (see my first plane I uploaded). This aircraft performed so well that I've kept it around.
Looks like a modern Thunderbolt from WW2... noice
@Pilotmario Okay
@Liquidfox Thanks!
@PALP You can try. I'm not stopping you.
The PAF considered turning this into a jet. However, they figured it would be easier to design a new plane.
May I attempt to turn this into a jet?
