Microburst Mk I

10.3k TurtlesThatFly  4.0 years ago

A small and maneuverable fighter developed out a 30’s seaplane racer, this aircraft was originally meant to be a short range interceptor, but came to fulfill other roles as well, such as being an armed reconnaissance aircraft or as a night fighter.

Yeah, it’s basically a Spitfire, but with subtle differences, that being things like the stabilizers, the tail, and probably the armament. There are 8 machine guns in the wing, which is enough to tear apart most fighters. This thing also behaves a lot more realistically in terms of some of its flight characteristics. I made a couple different versions of this aircraft to fit a couple of roles and I might continue making different variations. Thanks to @Hpaccelli for the cockpit design inspiration, I love your work! Anyways, enjoy!

Tips for landing: This aircraft lands at a high speed, so try to not flare too much or risk stalling. Brake sparingly until you are slow enough (like 60-40mph). Do the same for the elevator to minimize “bouncing”.
