Auto Credit Based on belugasub's [CLOSED] Dogfight tournament! [25 upvote prize] (WW2 Fiction & Replica)
My entry to the challenge. Its a simple plane based on the P38 lightining if you couldnt tell already. It has 6 machine guns (4 on the nose and 2 on the wing). To take off, go to 35% throttle and wait 2 seconds, then slowly go to 100% throttle and pitch up. VTOL for flaps and no action groups.

@EchoWhiskey11 yeah that was my first idea but it made the gear stick out from the top, making it look ugly, but thanks man!
Cool design, great color scheme, just a little recommendation, definitely not to take away from the design, but you could use a tricycle landing gear configuration. Front gear on the main body as far forward as possible, and two on each fuselage. It should help out with the take off and minimize the tendency to nose dive, but more importantly cut some weight, which will help you out in the turns, probably cut a good 500lbs.
