Kyushu J7W2 Shinden [Stock and BD Armory versions]

RIP B-29 crews.


I had too many fond memories of flying this little rascal in Blazing Angels as a kid... I just had to make it...

This thing handles snappier than most of my jets, it travels at near 300 m/s sea level with one engine, has a large fuel load, has an amazing takeoff performance and is extremely good at low speed maneuvering. It's also 47 parts on the stock version, making it able to run on almost any computer.

Awesome! I love this aircraft in War Thunder, and it's one of my favourites.

I imagine this would classify as a J7W2 Replica (The J7W2 was a design for a Shinden powered by a jet instead of a piston engine, though only the J7W1, which was the variant that had the piston engine, ever had a prototype built).

I guess crazy aircraft designs weren't just a German thing.

So, I was thinking of another weird jet...

Should I? :D

Yes!

The Heinkel 162 was a very nice early jet as well. I flew it a lot in the IL2 series.
