XF5F "Skyrocket"

dang wow 2nd workshop creation

This is the XF5F "Skyrocket", a prototype carrier-based fighter/interceptor developed by Grumman during WWII. It has a rather interesting look and was well liked by test pilots, but was not accepted in the end.

In SW, this plane has a top speed of around 330 kph (about 90 M/S) and good climb rate. It handles tight turns pretty well, even at low speeds; and the roll rate is fantastic.

Offensive weaponry is limited to two light autocannons ingame (I know the actual one used 4 MGs but MGs are a joke in this game). It could probably carry decent bombloads, but it never carried any hardpoints IRL so I haven't added any.

landings are relatively easy, and stall speed is a little over 140 kph (about 40 M/S). The default brake button is 6 and is on by default, make sure to turn it off before taking off or taxing (there is a cockpit light for it). There is also a pseudo arrestor hook with a mag-all at the tip which can be useful for REALLY quick braking, or maybe an actual carrier deck landing. idk i dont have any carriers to test it on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i know it didnt use car doors IRL ok it was just easier

the engine may be a little inconsistent with its exhaust dont worry bout it

have fun and feel free to comment/DM my steam with suggestions or improvements!

thank you for reading :D
