@Christiant2 You can add so many more parts since this plane is made out of only 82 parts. You can of course add many more details if you want. There are many planes made out of 1500 to 3000 parts on this website. You will see. I have to stick with a low part count since I do not have much time to spend on one project. I work full-time.
@TheUltimatePlaneLover, I see. I am not sure if the in-game version of the plane could do that. In the real-world scenario, there are a lot of factors to consider - like wind resistance, gravity, and acceleration of both the bullet and the plane. so it is very hard to replicate in the game. But surely, you could calculate that in some better physics programs
The gun is cool, and the images are so cool as well. The flowers in the foreground bring the contrast between the wild nature of fire and battles. Love the story as well.
On Sep 21, 1956 Grumman test pilot Tom Attridge shot himself down in a graphic demonstration of two objects occupying the wrong place at the same time—one being a Grumman F11F-1 Tiger [138260], the other a gaggle of its own bullets..
It happened on the second run of test-firing four 20mm cannon at Mach 1.0 speeds. At 20,000' Attridge entered a shallow dive of 20°, accelerating in afterburner, and at 13,000' pulled the trigger for a four-second burst, then another to empty the belts. During the firing run the F11F continued its descent, and upon arriving at 7,000', the armor-glass windshield was struck, but not penetrated, by an object..
Attridge throttled back to slow down and prevent cave-in of the windshield, flying back to Grumman's Long Island field at 230 mph. He radioed that a gash in the outboard side of the right engine's intake lip was the only apparent sign of damage other than for the glass, but that 78 percent was maximum available power without engine roughness occurring..
Two miles from base, at 1,200' with flaps and wheels down, it became evident from the sink rate that the runway could not be gained on 78 percent power. Attridge applied power and said "the engine sounded like it was tearing up." It then lost power completely. He pulled up the gear and settled into trees less than a mile short of the runway, traveling 300 feet and losing a right wing and stabilizer in the process. Fire broke out, but, despite injuries, Attridge managed to exit the plane and get away safely, to be picked up by Grumman's rescue helicopter.
Examination of the F11F established there were three hits—in the windshield, the right engine intake, and the nose cone. The engine's inlet guide vanes were struck, and a battered 20mm projectile was found in the first compressor stage..
How did this happen? The combination of conditions reponsible for the event was (1) the decay in projectile velocity and trajectory drop; (2) the approximate 0.5-G descent of the F11F, due in part to its nose pitching down from firing low-mounted guns; (3) alignment of the boresight line of 0° to the line of flight. With that 0.5-G dive, Attridge had flown below the trajectory of his bullets and, 11 seconds later, flew through them as their flight paths met.
@Thatrano Yes, I was not exactly following or working with the blueprint. Just a quick build, loosely based on the XA-38 with a bit different position for the 75mm canon. (Real one got another remote turret on the belly too, with total of 6x 0.5 machine guns.)
@Christiant2 I see, you mean you want more weapons on the plane?
+1@Christiant2 by the way, your link "this" was not working, so i don't know which plane you are showing to me

@TheUltimatePlaneLover You are right - and it has to be four canons instead of 2. Thanks.
@dekanii yes. It happened. Find it on YouTube.
+1@TTL No. Just under 2.7 years as of Nov/2024
+1@Christiant2 All yours! rebuild it, break it make it again. re paint it. post it. I am so glad to know that.
+1Thanks for the super fast upvotes.
+1Try this MiG-29 in dogfight
well-detailed build. sadly, there is very much undervoted.
Nine years with SP... wow, respect the love with SP
awesome, I love to see the experimental projects.
nice
so beautiful, I love it
nice touch
@F8boa will do next time. noted
+1@overlord5453 Thanks, will do next time
+1@Monarchii yes, I have read about that once. I believe Ki-61 also got a German engine (licensed copy) or such.
+1@imakestuffsometimes Yes, it is a fictional
@Monarchii I see. Shape wise, I prefer the P40 look of the Ki-61
+1@Realturtlecat I am more present than you are, if you look up my posts. lol
@Thatrano Yes, I was not exactly following or working with the blueprint. Just a quick build, loosely based on the XA-38 with a bit different position for the 75mm canon. (Real one got another remote turret on the belly too, with total of 6x 0.5 machine guns.)
+2@CaptainBrayden Thanks for the cool pics
@CaptainBrayden Thanks
Now Posted >>>> XA-38-Grizzly
@CaptainBrayden Thanks, you guys are so fast, I din't need to tag. lol

+1@Monarchii I think you are looking this one >>> Ki-61 which uses the inline engine and not the radial engine.
+1@FalHartIndustries, thanks for lots of upvotes today!
@AviadorArgentino no problem
+1spotlighted! good luck with the challenge.
+1XA-38 Grizzly is a ground attack plane developed for the USAAF near the end of the WW2. Featuring nose mounted 75 mm canon and remote control turret.
Follow me to catch up on all my builds because I remove some of them later to make my collection compact.
@ChaseRacliot thanks
Huh, I got to push this challenge up so that more people may join. Currently, it is very quiet
+1@GunmanMaster thanks
Kawasaki K-100 Download link: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/m5H2J6/Kawasaki-Ki-100
Wow great build, and great video
Great for a first time builder. A bit heavy and hard to control though. Welcome to Simple Planes
+4@dabestsock also, look closely to the vertical stablizer
@Monarchii yes, me too. I think Ki-61 is more streamlined and smooth.
