Bell Airacuda YMF-1

20.5k LieutenantSOT  3.5 years ago

Built in 1936 as Bell's first aircraft to be produced, it was meant to be a bomber killer such as Germany's Bf 110.
Using the pusher prop configuration, there are 2 seats in the cockpit (radio operator and the pilot) and then there are two seats in the rear of the aircraft (for the browning M2 machine guns). The engine nacelles each have a seat for the gunners, and then there is a tube that lets the crawl back to the main fuselage.
Each engine is 1009 HP and they are superturbocharged.
The gunners in the nacelles each have 1 M4 Browning 37mm autocannon and then one .303 caliber browning machine gun with tracers (to let them aim better)

Weapons:

  • 2 M4 Browning Autocannons (explosive shell, ground; 100 rounds each)
  • 3 M2 Browning Machine Guns (basic shell, multirole; 600 rounds each)
  • 2 Browning .303 machine guns

Controls:

AG1= M4 autocannons
AG2= M2 Browning Machine guns

I hope y'all enjoy!

    Oof, I am breaking the "Quality over Quantity" rule. I am very tired today, sorry. I will probably rebuild these designs on a later day.

    But thank you for your kind message, seriously :)

    @LieutenantSOT If you mean the "Fastest updoot in the west" thing, i stopped doing that a while ago. I often upvote your aircraft because they are unconventional, both fictional and real. You also make them look good, while keeping it simple.
