Ladies and Gentelmen, Bois, and gals, I present the XJ-19 Swordfish! The Swordfish is a multirole light figter designed in the Late 1930's to the early 1940's by the XJ company in response to the US's newfound involvement in WWII. This fighter is versatile and has light bombing capabilities, as well as torpedo bombing capabilities and armed with 4x rockets it also serves as a light attack fighter.

Wright R-1825 -30 "Typhoon" Air cooled In-Line piston engine developing 600 horsepower.

Max Speed: 236 mph

Armament:
2x 0.50 caliber browning Heavy Machine Guns

2x 100lb conventional drop bombs

1x Mk VI Torpedo (external)

4x 5'' unguided rockets, wing mounted.

Instructions:

VTOL for trim

Trim for flaps

AG1 to drop bombs and torpedo

AG2 to drop rocket pods

As always I hope you enjoy this wonderful build and please wish me luck guys!

EDIT: It looks like this bad boi won the challenge. Thanks everyone so much for the support, this was my very first challenge and I honestly did not expect to win, thanks!

    @Foxophonist It takes a lot of practice and failure. And I think your build is pretty good. I was nowhere close to that level when I started building.

    @doge Welp thx for the support m8, one day when I get a better pc I'm planning on spicing up some of my builds, cuz a lot of them did not reach their full potential due to the limitations present on my pc, that's been on my bucket list for a while now.

    @doge And no blue screen of doom I just tried to turn it on one day and it wouldn't turn on, and I couldn't get a new battery because the make and model was no longer in production, which sucked.

    @doge Yup I'm trying to save up for a new pc cuz I'll be heading off to college next year, as I am now a senior in high school, cuz as much as I love this piece of crap, It won't be of much use to me in 2-3 years, It's deteriorating fast. It does not run nearly as fast as when I first got it. It was capable of running War Thunder on medium settings, but now it won't even run.

    Also if it didn't want to power on that's a power supply problem

    @doge Thx m8, but alot of those details would have significantly increased part count thus breaking my very crappy pc. My part count limit is just about 820 parts.
