F7F-3 Tigercat for X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 12

The F7F Tigercat, which was derived from Grumman's first twin-engine fighter, the XF5F-1 Skyrocket, appeared as the result of a Navy request in June 1941 for development of a larger, twin-engine fighter for use on board the planned large aircraft carriers (Midway-class). The airplane was the first twin-engine fighter ordered in large quantities and the first carrier aircraft to incorporate tricycle landing gear. Built in single and two-seat variants, the heavily armed fighter served in ground support, night fighter and photo reconnaissance roles after World War II and in Korea.

Tigercat variants included :

Clean variant - No external stores. Note: the 'White 5' fictional variant depicts a basic 'racer' and so lacks guns & cannons.

Ferry variant - Carries three drop tanks for extended range.

Fighter variant - Carries one belly drop tank. The typical day fighter loadout.

Rockets variant - Carries one belly drop tank and eight underwing unguided rockets. The typical ground attack loadout.
Note: due to an XP limitation, the rocket-equipped version lacks the ability to fold the wings.
