F4F-4 Wildcat

The Grumman F4F Wildcat is an American carrier-based fighter aircraft that began service in 1940 with the United States Navy, and the British Royal Navy where it was initially known as the Martlet. First used by the British in the North Atlantic, the Wildcat was the only effective fighter available to the United States Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific Theater during the early part of the Second World War. The Wildcat was generally outperformed in the Pacific Theater by its opponent, the A6M Zero, but held its own due to self-sealing fuel tanks and better armor. The Wildcat was one of the few planes to be produced throughout the entirety of WW2, even after being outperformed by newer models.

This variant of the Wildcat, the F4F-4, boasts an additional pair of machine guns, and capability to carry small bombs for attacking enemy boats. I attempted to recreate realistic taxi, flight patterns, cockpit, and avionics as best as I could, but this is Stormworks, so some things may be more optimized towards gameplay rather than realism. This craft should be multiplayer friendly, although using infinite ammo is encouraged for having fun (until they add in better MG belt options).

Thank you so much for taking interest in my creations. Be sure to check out some of my other stuff for more detailed, but fun to use vehicles. This vehicle was created to STW (Stormworks Theater of War) specifications, and is a 1:1 replica of the real F4F-4 Wildcat.

This vehicle DOES NOT WORK with Infinite Fuel enabled because it uses a modular engine. There isn't a way to fix it so just turn off infinite fuel, this has a 30 minute air time at full throttle anyways.
