Description
The Ta 183 was a late ww2 german single-seat fighter prototype designed and built by Focke-Wulf. It never made it past windtunnel tests.
I started this project a while ago, wtih progress being slow. Then, after AvarethTaika put out the Contest #94: Prototype/Concept aircraft, I motivated myself to finish this aircraft intime for the said contest.
It handels a bit weird with all those rockets attached, still easy to control though. With the rockets detached it can reach speeds up to about 995 km/h. I also added a low power cannon and two sneaky hidden high rate of fire crossbows.

Importent:
Under extreme G-maneuvers the autocannnon may break. This seems to be a very rare case only though. Also, the aircraft speeds up a bit after you fired every rocket due to less drag.

Freaking pretty and awesome weightless rockets ;D
Come to jet age mate!

Not really, under more extreme curcumstances the cannon can break. I put n the cannon last minute and when I tested it I never managed to break the whole plane apart although that's probablly still because of the recoil. I suggest using the cannon only at lower speeds, thanks for noting that!

When I am at full speed, and I fire the cannon, the plane falls apart. Am I doing something wrong?

I could never compete with you. :D
