Bristol F.2

happy new year!

In advance of a level coming up, I made another WWI biplane: the Bristol F.2!
this plane is a twin seated reconaissance plane, but proofed to be an effective plane for both air to air combat and ground attacks. it doesnt have really a primary equipment, but is equipped with a fully rotational backseat machine gun.
The performance is rather good, strong pitch but a fairly poor roll characteristics. it can reach pretty high speeds but is not adviced. I noticed that the faster it goes the more it dives automatically. good thing is that this plane is also suited with a speed control option!
I must note that using the backseat when you also fly the plane is a deathwish. In the level it will be used as a 2 player operated plane, one controls the plane, the other protects its against fighters.

blockcount: 221

Check out my workshop!

*while I previously used steering hinges to control the speed, this one uses a stack of wheels. this means that you dont 'set' a speed, but you hold T to increase speed, and hold G to decrease speed.
** watch out with shooting at the plane, you can literally shred it with the backseat mg. the tail wing is made in such a way that it shouldnt be destroyed in unflyable manner, still adviced not to hit it
