Original build here
(Why auto credit no work?)
Swarm version (multiple spawnable at once) here
- The Defensive bombers series’ aim is to make killing AI bomber targets 10x more difficult, because fun is not allowed
- This build is a suggestion by @StrikerUreka22, remember to go to the original(?) build if you want to actually play with the bomber
- (wiki)
The Consolidated B-32 Dominator (Consolidated Model 34) was an American heavy strategic bomber built for United States Army Air Forces during World War II, which had the distinction of being the last Allied aircraft to be engaged in combat during World War II; that engagement also resulted in the last American to die in air combat in World War II. It was developed by Consolidated Aircraft in parallel with the Boeing B-29 Superfortress as a fallback design should the B-29 prove unsuccessful.
Functional armament
(Spawn as AI in aggressive mode, guns will activate and deactivate depending on if they are in arc/range)
-2x twin .50 turrets (dorsal) (covers all areas except for the bottom and direct rear of the aircraft)
-1x twin .50 ball turret (dorsal) (covers the bottom side of the aircraft)
-1x twin .50 turret (nose) (covers the front of the aircraft)
-1x twin .50 turret (tail) (covers the rear of the aircraft)
Notes
-uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
- G4M will be the next build posted, then the other 3 suggestions will come after
Enjoy getting obliterated!

@Rb2h unfortunately making the AI “smarter” isn’t really possible. (Stuff with gyros and variables making the AI maneuver more realistically is something way too complex for me lol) The most I could try to do is make them able to use cannons really. TheUltimatePlaneLover is working on a pretty interesting concept of swarm fighters though (An unlimited amount of AI can be spawned to attack you) so I guess that’s the closest we’ll get
Would you make defensive fighters? Like planes or jets that can dogfight you. [But smarter than the ingame ai]
@Zaineman I’m honored, thanks :)
FYI, I am now following you and you are now on my friends list Click here to see you are in the section called "More Friends 25" Finally, your name is hot linked back to your homepage.
Z😸@TheUltimatePlaneLover np!
@TemporaryReplacement In that case thanks :D
@TheUltimatePlaneLover
[insert generic “I’ve actually tested this before” comment here]
.
Getting the AI to drop ordnance does actually work, the only issue is that you can’t make it so that they specifically drop on you. In my fletcher torpedo launch demo you can see that the AI can use ordnance as long as it’s connected to a pylon or detacher that activates when you get in a certain proximity. This is good, but it’s still impossible (as far as I know) for the ai to drop on the player specifically, and therefore bombs will miss you most of the time, since it only responds to distance. I’ve experimented and made an AI avenger that can drop either bombs or torpedos, but for something that actually works, I’ll redirect you to here
.
(Long rant over)
@TemporaryReplacement Oh sweet
G4M and B-25 are gonna be epic >:D
I am curious though, is it possible to make defensive bombers actually drop their bombs?
@TheUltimatePlaneLover yep, the defensive version of your B-25 should come right after the next post (G4M)
Sweet, more defensives :D
Nice
