Auto Credit Based on AntonWings's [THX for 25k!]Messerschmitt Me-262 A-1a "Schwalbe"

All credits goes to the original post, AntonWings's ME-262!

This is a modified version of AntonWings's post. The origional one doesn't have good landing gear suspensions, and it required a long period to turn around even at 600 kph. Besides, it have poor low-airspeed performance (though it is truely historical, just like the one in War Thunder). As the result, I felt hard to aim in dogfights and also difficult to land nicely in this plane, so I decide to make some changes for those who love easy flight.

WHAT IS ADDED:
1. Gear suspension, reduced brake moment (torque), easy to land at any runway. e.g. the Bandit
2. Historical weapon: four 30mm Maschinekannone 108 autocannons at nose, each has 100 high-explosive rounds and low muzzle velocity.
3. Modified positions of CoL and CoM: now the time required to turn around is aprox. 15 seconds at 500 kph, 500ft.

FLIGHT NOTES:
1. It takes shorter time to take off, so a quarter flaps, 150kph to raise the nose.
2. To land, half flaps, touch the ground at <200kph with your nose up. You can trust my hand-made suspensions :)

All other Activation Group methods the same as the original work, you can check them in the auto credit link.

For those who are interested in tanks, do not be upset! I am currently working on new prototypes that will come up for the christmas (I hope so).
