quite a cool design. but i cant help but question gatling weaponry mounted behind the propeller. i shouldn't question it but all i can imagine is the bullets shredding the propeller. overall guns aside its a cool design
ah yes one of the few planes which was proposed but never got further. than prototype. only if britain got as far as just trying small squadrons of these things.
@Diloph a Browing Machine gun is an American machine gun which used to fire 7.62mm rounds. the british bullets was slightly larger but due to the browing machine gun being much more effective than the Vickers machine guns the british pretty much used american guns and modified them to fire the 303 7.7mm rounds which was then the standard british rifle bullet
@LuftwaffeAce262 i usually prefer the early aswell. tho firepower wise they could have done a bit better. not saying 8 303s are bad but they could have maybe gone for 4x 12.7mm guns like they did for later versions of the fulmar
now i look as people making prop planes im somewhat motivated to try to make a new plane. also tho accidentally uploaded its still a good design. id recommend redoing the tail section tho as the fuselage is a little bit too wide. and the rudder is just looking like it was slap rushed on which kinda gives it a negative lookt. still overall id give it a solid 8/10
@Diloph i guess... but hey its better to know the vehicles than just assume this and that is the norm. unlike so many who thinks anything just with the name was in battle of britain
a spitfire Mk II with 4x 20mm cannons? meh i shouldnt complain...... good build overall tho if it was supposed to be a realistic style build the Mk II would have 4x 303 browings and 2x hispanos cannons. tho its just as simple as just make it a 4 blade prop and call it a Mk IXc

@Diloph THEY'RE FRENCH! jokes aside theres nothing wrong with the roundels. its just a joke with brits and french pretending the other is the neighbor from hell.
quite a cool build of the meteor. but french? really now? FRENCH!? THATS BLEEDIN INSULTING! 0/10. only joking. the build is great and is different from the typical styles. 10/10
darn missed russian quality joke. oh well not much i can disagree with anyway
@Diloph ye missed quality XD
its an f-15.....

very cool simple build. 10/10
try the server link then @JCF6 https://discord.gg/2w48rVn
...
honestly not a bad design. not often you such a design show up in simpleplanes
@teodor99#6617 is the Discord user. just remember to tell ye sent a request otherwise i may reject by accident
@JCF6 righto then
@TrislandianAlliance ye... several days ago...
@TheFantasticTyphoon blast.... i got there was too late then. welp then ill just have to reboot my old server for the simple planes fun then
@TrislandianAlliance could you send a link?
@Diloph treat is as a airship build then pretend its a battleship and you should have most of the issues sorted.
now its all good with a car. but the question is. what drivetrain is it?
ah yes one of the few planes which was proposed but never got further. than prototype. only if britain got as far as just trying small squadrons of these things.
rating 11/10 for something new
french tank fan: when the french didnt surrender. ah yeah... good times
ww2 fans: you gave up under 5 seconds
rating is 11/10 despite being french
seems like everyone went spitfire crazy
if you wish. or a late 30's plane
how about something to rival some of my planes?

i believe the radiators are the other way around. and the oil cooler inlet is round and not square.

pushed it to the limit!
@Mustang51 considering its on demand. then thats possible. but it also to not expect much
