Fokker G1
« on: June 15, 2011, 06:15:27 PM »
Twin engined Dutch air craft similar to the BF110, 14 confirmed kills on HE111s and JU52s.

Data. http://www.fokker-g1.nl/general.htm

No numbers on the RPG for the eight 7.9mm nose guns or the tale gunner.

seriously this was a great thread till everyone butchered it threw a stick of dynamite into the body and decided the dynamite wasnt enough and tossed a grenade in after...

Looks suspiciously similar to the ol' B38  :lol
,only a couple hundred mph slower
The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

what do you think, how would the p-38 perform with 800HP engines?
Rockin little EW plane. I wouldnt mind to see it, even tho there are WAY more inportant models to add.

     I wonder how the difference between a 2 and 3 seater is only 15 kilos.  The seating arrangement I could see in the
empty weight, but useful load only drops 15 Kg too!  Apparently the 3rd crewmember was a very small child?  :D

     Max gross is 11,000 pounds where the P-38 was almost double that at 21,600.  Kind of strange numbers considering
all the extra crew carried by the G1.

From what I've read, it was very manueverable.  Personally, I would like to see this plane eventually added to help fill out the early war plane set.  Some people seem to think that the early war years only involved France, Britain, Soviets and Germany in the ETO.  There are plenty of Polish, French and Dutch planes that can be added to the EW plane set to help flesh it out.

Turns out it had 500 rpg for the eight nose guns and 480 of the tail gunner.  550 liters of fuel in the tanks with 150 in reserve.
