A bit early for the rockets, we're just barely re-entering the age of rocket weapons.

*Checks requirements for Bulgaria*

Well, I don't have any openings, but I bet I could MAKE some openings... :D

Do you suppose that would do well as a ground-attack fighter and recon plane?

Well heck if you want twin-engine fighters, Fokker should have line space in 1936 for additional orders of the G-1 A/B/C twin-engine aircruisers.

I think the Huricane could serve very well in the ground attack and recon roles. as to the rockets ^.^ i thought they looked cool mounted underneath itweight wise they could be swaped for a drop tank or another 250-500 lbs bomb, and Preformance could actualy be better but I felt 1K hp per engine was enough.

Too early for four 20mm guns. I got rip by trying to do that in India.

The Eagle was supposed to have originally four guns but after protest it was reduced to two. The year it entered production was early 1935.

actualy with the +3 rule, we are well within the 20 mm cannon era, the ME-109 mounted one historicly even... I just decided to skip the 15mm era and go right to the ultra effective 20mm.

Also unlike National Producers an Independant like myself can go wacko and make wierd stuff =P

Sounds like a reasonable objection. My own latest dive bomber has 2x20mm and 4x7.7mm guns at the expence of speed and its slated for production in 1936. with the 3 year rule thats a 1939 armament.

One, not four guns. We don't see that many 20mm guns until at least late 1942 early 1943 at the earliest.

Mosquito F Mk II tested in May 1941 had four 20mm and four .303. That's the earliest example I can cite.

try 1939 with 2 and 4 lighter guns although granted they were only a prototypes it is one of the two aircraft this aircraft was loosley based off

what I did was put a
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloster_F.9/37
and a
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_DH.88
in a room and not let them out untill they made baby airplanes. ^.^

then I spent half a day figuring out armerment, and 2 days texturing it all the other option was 2 20mm and 6 .50 MGs, the 50s would have had to be wing mounted though and I didnt like them out where they would clear the props

Bulgaria would be just as interested in the 2x20mm/6x.50cal version as it would be in the 4x20mm version.

Would Eclipse be interested in employing skilled Bulgarian manufacturing personnel? :D

I think your going to find a few propositions for host nations for your country, and just to spice things up the republic of Byzantium would LOVE to have an aircraftindustry based within its borders.
