Republic XP-72 - The 28-Cylinder Thunderbolt

One of the wildest piston engined fighters to ever grace the sky. Absolutely yes.
But I dare not click the dropdown for hidden text in the OP labelled “erection images”.

I clicked it and saw parts that are usually covered up! Erection images indeed. (There was even an "exploded assembly :O )
Personally I hope if this plane is implemented it can change its armament between the 50cal, 37mm and mix of both, as was planned for it.

Debatable… I think losing two of my freedom spreaders would definitely a down grade. How am I supposed to spread the American seed all over my enemies if I only have 6 guns instead of 8???

Spoiler

To clarify, this (^^) was a joke before anyone comes after me.

I did not include that because in the first hand sources and photos I had I did not find any mention to 37mm guns.

I was also disappointed by the low amount of rounds per gun. But good enough still :)

I only could find this from Spec.507 22 August 1944 that does not specify what guns it would use, only that it would have 33 rounds per gun.
Also I cant find any photo with the 37mm installed so I think in game it should use the .50cal configuration.
