Arado TEW 16/43-19
Background
This aircraft is an experimental design that was created by Arado in 1943. It was designed as a high-speed bomber/interceptor/night fighter. However, because of a lack of resources, the project was cancelled before a flying prototype was created. The version I modeled is the Zerstorer, or destroyer, version that is designed for ground attack and interceptor missions.
Features
Custom engine design and landing gear design.
Realistic armament of 2 SC250 bombs, 2 MK103 30mm cannons, 3 MG151 20mm cannons, and 2 MG151 tail guns.
Realistic performance and control surfaces.
Controls
AG1: Stabilize aircraft and activate tail gun (pitch and roll control)
AG2: Release both bombs
VTOL: Down for flaps
Everything else is standard
I hope you enjoy my build!

Awesome!
Thanks! And I appreciate the constructive criticism @ChiChiWerx
Nice work here. Good details, well thought out, flies nice with realistic performance. The only critiques I would offer would be that the roll rate is a tad on the slow side, I would have had it roll about 25% faster to match its pitch rate for harmonization of controls, as well as the roll rate of similar aircraft. Additionally, while pleasingly smooth to fly—I mean, this thing is like butter smooth—perhaps it’s a bit too smooth. Nice build overall.
I’m working on something else for the luftwaffe challenge @asteroidbook345
Very nice jet . Great job .
Great looking bomber! Very fun to fly and the design is fantastic. Lovely work!
great build! dont remember having seen one of these before
