Yokosuka D4Y2 Model 12 "Suisei" [Fixed Version]

5,786 Mainblocks  6.1 years ago

Thanks everyone ! My first featured plane ! :D
.


.

  • The D4Y2 is a single-engined carrier-based dive-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. And is operated by a crew of two in tandem enclosed cockpit. It was at his time, (41 to 44) the fastest dive-bomber in operation. The D4Y2 Comet Model 12 was faster than is predecessor and successor. Overall, it was a "superior" plane to the D4Y1 and D4Y3, but with more technically failures due to the Aichi AE1P Atsuta 32 engine.

  • I have choosen to build the Model 12 variant, because the majority of the quality blueprint and intel were for either the model 12 or the D4Y3 model 33.

  • And speaking of choices, i've deliberatly didn't added the extrernal fuel tanks, because they were blocking the air-brakes. I'll add them in the D4Y3 Model 33.

Current paint scheme : 131st Kokutai Dark Green 2 (AS-21) and Light Grey (AS-2).
Allied reporting name : Judy


.

  • The D4Y2 Model 12 features are :

    • Two fuselage-mounted 7.7 mm Type 97 machine-guns (7 dmg, 400 shots each, 260 seconds of reload time w/ historical based data).
    • Type 99 No.25 Model 1 250kg Navy Bomb (250kg in-game).
    • Detailed landing gear.
    • Bomb-bay doors and interiors.
    • Release mechanism.
    • Bullet ejection system (synchronized)
    • Tail-hook.
    • Basic aiming scope.
    • Position lights.
    • Semi-realistic engine exhaust.
    • Custom controls surfaces (w/ Flaps and Air-brakes).
  • IMPORTANT : Im well aware of the flaws, inaccuracy and mistakes on the flight model. And i was also "forced" to make practical choices against design and accuracy. I apology for theses matters, and i don't have the pretention to said that my plane is 100% historicaly accurate. That being said, i've put all my knowledge and expertise on this plane. Hope it will please the peoples who have supported me from the start (around 1.2 year from now).*

.

  • Controls groups :

    • CG.1 : (VTOL Down) Lowering the flaps.
    • CG.2 : (VTOL Up) Opening bomb-bay doors.
    • CG.3 : (VTOL Down) Bomb arm lowered.
    • CG.4 : (Toggle) Main bomb release.
    • CG.5 : (-) .
    • CG.6 : (Toggle) Positions lights.
    • CG.7 : (VTOL Down) Lowering Air-brakes.
    • CG.8 : (VTOL Down + Toggle) Lowering arresting hook + toggle rear wheel yaw mouvement.
    • CG. "G" : (Toggle) Toggle landings gears (rear and main) + toggle scope cache.

.

  • Ground spawn :
    Set the flaps to 1st chevron (down), full throttle if you don't have to taxi out. It has a takeoff speed of 190 km/h, once you have been ascending, retract your flaps as early as you can.

  • Mid-air spawn :
    This is the important part. When you are spawning mid-air immediatly activate the engines to prevent the 2 smallers blades mechanisms of the type 99 to explode due to extrem overspeed. and then you are free to go.

In both cases, desactivate CG.8 after takeoff and activate it before landing.

> Last words :
I would like to thanks EternalDarkness, BogdanX, Othawne and Tully2001 for helping me out. And Mostly for fixing the actual flights performance of the plane (I love you Mostly)
Also be sure to check Dyson Tweeter .He is the one who provided me with some of the important blueprints !

    @ZwillingerLuftfox46 Hmm ok. I expected the utmost accuraty then.

    @Mainblocks Yes I did, that's why I say it not that hard. Once I find my phone I'll make a model of the rear gunner to show you.

    @ZwillingerLuftfox46 That's more complicated than that. Did you see the mechanism of the opening / setup of the rear gunner position?

    5.5 years ago

    @Mainblocks no you're not. just have a wall blocking off the Gunner position from the rest of the cockpit. Or just have the gun go through the cockpit by disabling aircraft collisions for the rear cockpit

    @ZwillingerLuftfox46 Becuase like i said, IF i start to make something that need to be in the interior, im forced to make everything.

    @Mainblocks can't you just make the rotating gun canopy and leave the interior as it is?

    @ZwillingerLuftfox46 And if i do the rear facing gun, i'll need to make the interior as well, exceeding the part count of 2k.

    @ZwillingerLuftfox46 I don't think i have the skill to do that, and if i had an interior the part count will raise to unextable levels. x°)

    @Mainblocks Also could you add a functioning. And turret canopy to your Judys?
