[WIP] - J7W1 Shinden /NewFM [project update 29/07/09]

gibbage Wrote:Both were planned. 4x Mk108 and 2X Mk 103. The Go-229 was first designed as a bomber hunter. That required the Mk-108's. Midway through, Hitler demanded it be used as ground attack. The thin wall, low velocity Mk-108 would not do, so they switched to the Mk-103. The Go-229 we have in-game is the ground attack Mk-103 model. Bomb racks were to be developed later, but the blueprints that I have dont show them. Remember, Hitler was a moron. He single handedly ripped defeat from the jaws of victory. Arguably one of the best assets the allies had in WWII.

It's my understanding it was the other way round, that the -229 was designed around the 1000kg x 1000kph x 1000km bomber concept, then was adapted as a fighter, or never survived long enough to be fitted with any bombing kit
