Isn’t this a bit much for a propeller plane?

So now as it doesn’t have to be actually working vehicle to be one of these, then i suggest Emil/Kranvagn for sweden as the next dreams come true vehicle.
This was my prediction for this year’s DCT event, and I’m glad to see it finally here! I’ve been waiting for this goofy thing for a while now.
One thing I noticed about the in-game model is that the symbols on the propellers are incorrect. Firstly, from the images I’ve seen, only the port propeller had company logos. The starboard propeller did not have them.
Secondly, the company logo present on the port propeller is NOT the Hamilton Standard logo, as the propellers were not Hamilton-Standard-made. Rather, they were designed and built by Vought itself, and featured the winged Vought company logo on each of the four blades.
See the spoiler below for pictures. The color within the oval surrounding the Vought logo is not known, as I cannot find a color picture.

I’ll take 35k mission score over the 45k we’ll see in this year’s Winter Tales event like last year.

Oh right. My apologies for the mistake
Magnificent.
Such a fascinating aircraft. Amazing choice of DCT vehicle, much better than last year’s KV-7.

Is there are any way to test-drive it on Dev?

And if it was proposed for it to carry bombs, it can. On the other hand, if it was proposed, for example, that a ground vehicle should be upgunned with a, let’s say hypothetically, 105mm, then out of the tech tree you go. ;)
Edit for clarity: I am 100% in favour of the UFO being in the game. But it’s high time we ended the hypocrisy of removing old speculative vehicles while adding new ones. The R2Y2s were removed day before yesterday for god’s sake.

I don’t play pure air battles, so what’s full gold price for 1 stage for this plane? I didn’t find it in article, there is mentioned only reduced price when you have most of task complete.
so we need 210000 points to unlock a br 5.0 prop plane? april fools was a good few month ago…
The more I think about this, the more it irks me.
With the TOG and now this, there is clearly a standard that proposed paper modifications to a vehicle are fine, so long as the base vehicle existed.
I support this standard. What I absolutely don’t support is “rules for thee and not for me”.
There is absolutely no reason why the R2Y2s, the Tiger II 105, Panther II and Coelian can’t be in game, if the XF5U is.
@Stona_WT sorry for the ping man. I know you’re not going to be in a position to offer any comment on this matter, but I wanted to bring this to your attention (and ultimately the devs’). It’s great to see vehicles like this make it into the game, but it would be great if older vehicles in a similar position were reconsidered for reintroduction. That’s all I wanted to say.
“I want to believe” 😁

Dont worry, youre not alone on this.
Hm, sorry, could you clarify whenever were talking about modifications - such as, say, Chobham armor package for Chieftain 900, which was proposed but never fitted, or modifications, such as KT 105?
