The Blohm Und Voss Bv P.538, developed during the mid-years of WW2 as a heavy fighter/bomber for the Luftwaffe. As a successor of sorts of the P.141, the P.538 acts as a dive bomber and heavy fighter, loaded with an SC1200 under the main fuselage (AG1), and two MG 131 13mm guns (Harmonization set to roughly 200 meters) in the wing near the cockpit.The cockpit itself is pressurized for the three man crew; pilot, naviga ator/radio operator, and engineer. A single hatch is present on the port side of the cockpit for crew to enter/exit from.The fuselage contains the engine, a Daimler-Benz DB 630 36 cylinder Double W engine, and 3827 liters of fuel for said engine. The maximun speed reached by the P.538 was over 515 km/h in acceptable weather.Anyways, me here. Really the only issue that should arise is takeoff. Because of the unique layout of the gear, the plane will yaw left when the engine is started. Besides that, I found out it can land on carriers (USS Beast only), and takeoff as well.Hope ya peeps enjoy this odd plane, and expect more to come soon.

Danke @ThePrototype
@MrVaultech kek
Looks good
Uhg... I'm super special. Screw it, gonna give it a crazy big number
@TheMutePaper
I did this with the Zehn too! I named it the P.75, but literally right before I made it, I attempted making the P.75! Gah... I'm special...
@Gemista
Fak! I did it again! Gah... I really gotta look more at the numbers.
@Gemista
You do know that the BV238 is a big seaplane right?
Mkay
@ReischetzFokke
Ahh, right. Yeah, it's all metal in the fuselage and cockpit in this plane, and the glass is orange because reasons that I say. (I'm not sure if the 141 is wood, but it's likely since it was developed during the mid 30's)
@ReischetzFokke
Mirrored, eh, but armed... I'm assuming you meant it had an upgrade in armorment, as the 141 already had MG 15's and 17's, as well as four 50kg bombs. Really, this plane steps down in offensive armorment and defensive and replaces it with a bomb load.
@ReischetzFokke
I don't blame ya for them being so similar.
@Mostly
@MrVaultech oooooh
Nah, it's not the 141. This plane is completely fictional, but did draw inspiration from it.
@Mostly
This is not the BV 238 it's the BV 141...
Danke!
