IVL Norppa for the Arctic Thunder roleplay.

3,480 Oni789  8.0 years ago

The Finnish people created a completely new jet fighter with the germans, IVL Norppa. It was very successful against Russian propeller airplanes, but it was an easy target on takeoff and landing. It's top speed is around 500 mph. AG 1 to pop off the rear landing gear. Enjoy!

    @Oni789 You've underrated this girl, you know? In a shallow banking climb I was able to reach 693 mph at 17,000-18,000 ft. Like my entry for Finland she loves to climb which is why its hard to get an accurate maximum speed. She accelerates from 500 to 550 mph, after a maneuver, in a mere few seconds. She's not terribly maneuverable but not bad either for a turbojet of her generation. Energy fighter tactics would suit this type very well and with all that fuel she has some serious legs to allow for a fair amount of loiter time. I did notice a couple of design faults that could easily be rectified though. She needs a taller vertical stab as at the speeds she reaches her posterior end tends to wobble side to side. Adding a little weight to the nose cone is all that would be necessary to omit the detaching tail wheel. The only other thing I could say is that the guns are too far out in the wings, centralized firepower is best when engaging an enemy. You don't have to worry about hitting propeller blades from a wing gun on a jet so you can snuggle them up pretty close to the fuselage without trouble if you don't know how to nudge them into the nose. Still, its a nice aircraft that takes advantage of its size to carry lots of fuel and has a high enough speed on the average to outrun most anything the allies had until the Gloster Meteor joined the fight. I haven't checked to see what our other axis members have developed let alone our adversaries save for a couple of Soviet bombers that were no match for the contra-rotating prop fighter I put together for the RP. Do you plan to submit more entries for the RP? If so I'm looking forward to what you are able to create!! ^_^
