Cloudgazer V

165 ChicoryBlues  8.1 years ago

A versatile fighter contemporary with WWII designs (no jets or explosives). The Cloudgazer V's tale is an interesting one. Beginning initially as a prototype codenamed "Cloudgazer," the plane would remain incomplete until it was used as a base to create the seaplane "Seagazer." Ultimately, development on the Seagazer yielded the innovative Variable Wing System, pushing the Seagazer's capabilities far beyond those of the initial prototype. In turn, the Seagazer V was then used as a base to complete the Cloudgazer in earnest. Thus, the Cloudgazer V was born. Using the VWS (controlled by the VTOL slider), the Cloudgazer can adjust the angle of its wings, enabling faster turns at the pilot's discretion, and radically enhancing control while landing. (Just a good old fashioned WWII fighter with an exciting twist. Please modify to your liking, and enjoy! ~^@)
