@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
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.
@WalrusAircraft Thanks, yes, I also draw/draft, so it is helpful for me to build something out of the box.
@Mustang51 Yes, depends on manufacturer. But check the plastic models, they are very accurate and close to real proportions.
lovely from all aspect
@WalrusAircraft look what I got here for my daughter
@WalrusAircraft Very nice. you did a great job to start a habit/introduction to your kid. I would love to had a son who could share my hobbies
@WalrusAircraft oh wow, hello! are you the dad or the son?
@Mustang51 well,,,, I prefer the plastic models because of the details. Die cast ones usually lack of details
@windshifter1 thank you buddy
@Christiant2 I am building the F89, now basic shape is done. It can fly now. I am start adding the details
Which state are you from. I live in New York City
@TheRealGoober I see. It’s okay
@Christiant2 will do
@Christiant2 do you mean Northrop F-89 Scorpion?
nice, I forget the link to create those logo (such as the horse) into text. do you know that mod link?
@crazyplaness wow. Cool.
@crazyplaness ah, thank you for letting me know. How did you get the green label?
@CaptainBrayden thanks!
@CaptainBrayden interesting.
@CaptainBrayden your images look great, did you edit them?
nice with the livery
@CaptainBrayden Thanks for the photos, posted now
@CaptainBrayden thank you so much, I will post them
@CaptainBrayden thank you so much
Thanks. This is a great idea.
@Boeing727200F Thanks,, but this is not a video, you can download straight away. Why "T" ???
@Berulacraft thanks
Thanks @SPairforce

@TheUltimatePlaneLover You are right - and it has to be four canons instead of 2. Thanks.
Try 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
@imakestuffsometimes Yes, it is a fictional
@Realturtlecat I am more present than you are, if you look up my posts. lol
@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
@JAGDPANZER131 @Carsonkiddy2 @CAS6041
@TheUltimatePlaneLover @126 @ReynaldoIndustries
@FalHartIndustries, thanks for lots of upvotes today!
XA-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
@GunmanMaster thanks
