Auto Credit Based on MAHADI's Luftwaffe Challenge (Closed)

Finally, after years of development, a new version of the Drachen has come to light.
Here I present you, the Drachen, from Marcox Flugzeugfabrik
it previously was named MFzF, but to fit RLM requirements, it has been shortened to MF.
Development: the C model appeared in late 1943 atfer the designers noticed the continuous tailstrikes during takeoff, so the aiframe was shortened a bit, while mantaining all of it's capabilities, tho... the rear fuel tank was shortened a bit as well. This is the 3rd model of the C series, being them the V7 and V8 prototypes, it features a new reinforced frontal landing gear, a slightly longer bomb bay and the biggest change of all, it's a double canopy.

Specifications:
Crew: 2 (Pilot and Radar operator).
Powerplant: 2x Junkers Jumo 222C, producing 2450hp at 3200RPM each one.
Radar: Fug 228 SN-3
NVG: FG 1250 (credits to RussianAs for the very useful lens)
Flares: Standard 40mm signal flares
Armament:
2x 20mm MG 151/20 (200rnds c/u)
2x 30mm MK 103 (280rnds c/u)
2x SC1000 stored inside the bomb-bay
Max payload: 4 tons
Stall speed: 160km/h
Max Landing Speed: 240km/h
Max Speed: 510km/h IAS (805km/h TAS) at 7000m
Service ceiling: 14.000m
Controls:
Pitch/Yaw/Roll/Landing Gear are normal
Guns have limited ammo, so after you empty your ammo, you'll have to wait 30s for them to reload, kind of like WT Arcade.
credits to PlanesOfOld for the bombs, they are hard to aim, but are enough for most situations.
Action groups:
AG1: enable Landing gear turning and a small position light on the belly
AG2: Activate the Fug 1250 Night vision gear(+AG3 to switch to night vision from the cockpit)
AG3: Zoom on the gun sight
AG4: Open/Close Bomb bay.
Note: This aircraft can be fitted with 2x SC2000 bombs, but it will fly like a brick.
Note 2: Do not engage in combat with Spitfires!

    @tjktjk11 thank you, I had tinkered with it in a previous version and some experimental tanks, so I decided to put it to work. For reference, both the Do17 Z10 and the Bf 110 D1 to D6 carry the FG1250 system, tho in a fixed position.
