I dont even know how this plane would work. Im hoping it becomes the best late prop-early jet plane ever.
In my mind i see the retention and acceleration of a prop, with the speed of a jet. So you can dogfight props, and chase the jets. I might actually play around that era, i ussually stick to mid tier props or korean era jets. The early ones i hate because theyre eh, the late props i dont like because jets just run away. Korean era jets, you can have the amazing dogfights you have with props, but youre just alot faster.
Considering that the Ryan FR-1 Fireball was a more advanced fighter aircraft, introducing among other things a jet propulsion system, shouldn’t the rate of fire of the installed M2 Browning machine guns be assumed to fall at the upper end of the range, 750–850 rounds per minute?
