Aircraft/Loadouts VL Pyörremyrsky

yes, it can also

4.7-5.3 in br.

[*NosNitrous_Lives 130]

It is a very interesting plane. MG-151/20 motorcannon is a thing that stands out to me as a devastating armament package against fighters, and i like the look of the perf figures provided. Aside from all the reasonably promising technical figures you get to listen to that Daimler-Benz roar at you when you throttle up. I'd like to see it added, but maybe not in the German tech tree as is suggested. Suomessa valmistettu kone kumminkin. I wouldn't mind it being added to the German tech tree as a premium if that is how it would get in, but it would fit better within an international tech tree. +1

+1 I want this so badly yes yes!! Hoping for this to be main tree or a premium.

[Dalles 56]

has my full support will be good to have German project and Finland in the game +1.

So it was said this thing was maneuverable.....how much so and at what speeds?

[blockhaj 3,559]

Not much is known but it is said that it outperformed the bf-109 g6 on altitudes above 5k and was generally better than it except speed wise. I think it it could be compared to an a6m like 109.

History

On November 26, 1942 the Finnish Air Force ordered two Pyörremyrsky prototypes to be built. The aircraft were to be ready by May 1944. One prototype was later cancelled and only one aircraft was ever built. The aircraft designation VMT Pyörremyrsky is also sometimes used, as the factory had been formed into the State Metal Factories (Valtion Metallitehtaat) during the construction of the aircraft. The Finnish Air Force airplane code letters PM gave the plane nickname Puu-Mersu (Wooden Messerschmitt), but the plane was an independent design.

 

The use of wood in the construction of the aircraft was maximised due to the sparseness of metals. The goal was to create a fighter with similar flight qualities to the German Messerschmitt Bf 109G. The engine and the propeller were taken from the Bf 109G. Thelanding gear was significantly widened and installed on the wing instead of fuselage in order to address one of the German fighter's most noteworthy shortcomings. This significantly eased ground control, as well as take off and landing.

The Pyörremyrsky prototype PM-1 made its first flight on November 21, 1945 at Härmälä, piloted by Esko Halme. After 25 minutes of flying, a piece from the hood fell off and Halme had to land when fumes from the engine started to enter the cockpit. The pilot was saved by his oxygen mask. The aircraft was to fly only three test flights in Tampere, the third time being a transfer flight to Kuorevesi on January 16, 1946. There it flew an additional 31 test flights, the total flight time being 27 hours by 1947. The aircraft was flown by eight pilots: Esko Halme, Lauri Hämäläinen, Erkki Itävuori, Osmo Kauppinen, Lasse Heikinaro, Martti Laitinen, Heikki Keso and Lauri Lautamäki. The last flight lasted only 20 minutes and was made by captain Osmo Kauppinen on July 22, 1947.

The Pyörremyrsky design was considered quite successful. It could outclimb the Bf 109G-6 and it was very manoeuvrable. It was considered almost ready for mass production. Its only major problem with the design was found to be the low-quality glue used in the joints.

The aircraft was still in the prototype stage when the war ended and this also meant that the funds allocated for the project decreased. The Pyörremyrsky prototype was grounded after only some 30 hours of flying and the programme terminated as no funds were available for the purchase of new aircraft for the Finnish Air Force and sufficient Bf 109Gs remained in service to equip the fighter force that was permitted under the Armistice terms.The PM-1 was removed from FAF lists on April 1, 1953. The wing construction was later used in another Finnish aircraft, the all-metal  Valmet Vihuri trainer.

Looks like a Zero, Bf.109, and Razorback Thunderbolt. I want

[LunarRainbow 90]

I was thinking of suggestin this plane too :P

I have also suggested another finnish made warplane, the VL Myrsky. Hopefully both of these will be added to the game.

Weird how this has more views/likes than mine...

Excellent work though!

Well as far as i think, the international tech tree would be made out of planes that weren't in the axis or allies side. Something like that, of course i don't know anything about the tree, so sorry if i'm wrong. But the Finnish were on the germans side from 1941 to 1944 so in a way it could fit into the german tech tree. But i don't care how it comes into the game, i care only that it comes into the game. And i've also made a suggestion of another Finnish warplane, the VL Myrsky. Like to check it out?

 

[MercedesBenzW123 8,535]

Yes please

[blockhaj 3,559]

I have it as a tier 4 in my Scandinavian tech tree.

[Querulous1 3,276]

Please put this and other Finnish planes in the game

[blockhaj 3,559]

Finland got their own line in the Scandi tech tree.

Has the original Myrsky been suggested yet? a small finnish tree in the german tree analogous to the australian planes in the british tree would be nice

Finland was never axis. It wouldnt make a lot of sense.
