@LettuceRob119 I was completely unaware of this, in that case, if you allow me, I will deliver a new version of this aircraft with the Wzehkhastan roundel and some improvements to the landing gear and so on.
Take a look these videos...

Hey! Thanks a lot for your feedback, I really appreciate the time you took to check the cannons and write down your thoughts.
For this challenge, the main idea is to keep things balanced and fair, so the custom weapons I included are not meant to be 100% historically accurate but rather simplified and standardized to avoid power differences. That way, what really shines is each player’s creativity, engineering skills, and innovative designs, instead of one weapon choice giving a big advantage over the others.
I understand your suggestions about the AN/M3, N-37, and NR-30 — they are indeed iconic guns of the era — but to keep the challenge even for everyone I’ve decided to stick with the current set of weapons and rules. This ensures that the dogfights are fun and competitive while highlighting design skills more than firepower.
Thanks again for pointing this out, and I hope you still join in and show us your best build!
@Erc90F4RU It would be on the edge; I see the F-5 as more from the 1960s. If you take a look at the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_F-5, the first flight was in 1959, but it wouldn't enter service until the 1960s. Therefore, I recommend another aircraft, for example a Hawker Hunter type. I find it very interesting, and it doesn't have the air intake in the nose... The good thing about this challenge is that you can design your fictional aircraft...
It would be a pleasure to have your plane in the next challenge I prepared. I would love to see your plane flying. Get ready, it’s a great opportunity!

@FarrowTECH Dear friend, it's been a while since I published any plane. Unfortunately I don't have time. But I keep taking a look at the news and the challenges that you publish. From time to time I take the opportunity to support you in some way. You always surprise me. I wish you a successful challenge. Have a great time. A hug to you and to the whole community. ;-)
@AndrewGarrison Thank you very much Andrew! I love that you like it. If you can change it in the xml I would appreciate it. I love how SimplePlanes evolves. Thanks for your effort!
@Chancey21 Dear friend, I followed the SimplePlanes instructions to participate in a challenge. The tag "challenge" and "VR" were required to participate.
Probably make it a new version of this, good concept
+1@avDude4 hahaha enjoy!
+1@KorKaiorWhatever Let's each design this Cessna jet-type aircraft with our design interpretation.
+1@M109simp The power-to-weight ratio indicated is the maximum, it does not mean that you have to make the plane with that power-to-weight ratio.
+1Very nice!

@GhostHTX Yes, you can use it, no problem. This challenge has a validator programmed in Python to check that the G-force limit is being used.
+1@F8boa test it in dogfight 😉
+1This is a nice creation for 50s Jet Dogfight Challenge... https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/4Dhia0/CHALLENGE-50s-JET-DOGFIGHT
+1Very nice copter! The next challenge will be Comanche Mission for helicopters! Congrats!
