Generic Aviation G1 Paladin

The G1 paladin is my take of your typical interwar fighter. A bit more advanced than your Great War era biplane, it sports a better top speed, better armament, and enclosed cockpit. however it still lacks the engine power and material strength needed for an adequate monoplane design indicative of World War 2. its slow and will turn on a dime, and comes with a single 250 lb bomb for strike missions and 4 Jundroo wing guns for everything else. 2x 100 lb bombs would be more appropriate but, well... it is what it is. no need to worry about landing gear, just trim up and watch your speed. compared to real interwar fighters, this one is a fair bit heavier and larger than normal, opposite the issue my planes normally have. that said, it still has the general flight characteristics you'd expect.

Based heavily on the Gloster Gladiator and F3F, and several others were referenced as well.
