thats annoying...
Did you know on the A10 warthog they had to offset the cannon on the nose so that it fired along the center line of the plane exactly as the recoil was so fierce it would turn the plane slightly, so the following rounds would not be on target.
I thought it was the front landing gear that was offset, so the cannon could set on the centerline. Where's Eric Mc when you need him?Did you know on the A10 warthog they had to offset the cannon on the nose so that it fired along the center line of the plane exactly as the recoil was so fierce it would turn the plane slightly, so the following rounds would not be on target.

You can see that the gun is offset to the left, however, the barrel that does the firing is the one that's along the centreline of the aircraft. (Look at the picture and it makes sense)
The front landing gear does indeed also have to be offset because of the space taken up by the gun.

Because the gun takes up the centre and left hand package space in the nose, then the landing gear had to be offset to the right. In this case "that" cannon determined the whole design of the front end....
