Hughes P21-J Devastator
Fighter-Bomber
History: The original Mk I Devastator was a concept model, created by Hughes Aviation, to demontrate the effectiveness of the pusher configuration as applied to combat aircraft. Although lightly armored, the Mk I was a smash success with several key demographics, including state militias.
Here's some WIP Photos for those interested and those who've played Crimson Skies and know the Saga. | |
Now, I must say, I am going to make multiple versions based on info I have gotten from the wiki
here; however, I need some feedback from players of the actual game and people who really enjoyed the game and want this in IL-2. What I've made is slightly different in a few aspects, but I want to know what the actual players (*cough* Eugene *cough*) think about this and need some feedback from them. Those who've played the game will know that the Devastator had a contra-rotating prop at the back - two sets of 3 blade props and also had a version where it used the Alison V engines and then switched to single 4 blade prop in the Mark III.
Original Devastator:
^ No sign of engine
Again, no visible engine
I have no idea what Microsoft was doing here. (note flat/straight canards)
^Radial engine visible..? Is this the Mark 3? It looks like 4 blades, but it's actually 3 blades contra-rotating if you play the game.
Canards and mount/fixture showcase.
My WIP Devastator:
I blame the oddly shaped canards due to the creator of the drawings I had used as a reference - thinking they were correct, I had used them without checking, it's not necessarily a big difference, but disappointing nonetheless.
