A spiritual successor to the SB-12 strategic bomber but more focused on cruise missile attack. It is also larger, matching the real-life Tu-160 in size. It is built around the same concept as the SB-12 and retains a load of unguided bombs for old-school level bombing runs.

Weapons

10x Boom 50 unguided bombs
8x Cleaver cruise missiles
2x Dual minigun CIWS/air defense turrets

Action Groups

AG1 - Flight controls
AG2 - Engines
AG3 - Lights
AG4 - Gyroscopes
AG5 - Turret 1 control
AG6 - Turret 2 control
AG7 - Deploy drogue chutes
AG8 - Master arm/Weapon bays (on by default). VTOL Down to close weapon bays, VTOL Mid to open weapon bays.

Cockpit lights will switch on/off depending on active action group.

Additional Camera Views

F5 - Turret 1 view
F6 - Turret 2 view
F7 - Cockpit view (F1 for full view)

Cycle views for weapon orbit views

Operation

Close weapon bays and activate flight controls and engines to take off and fly. Trim the aircraft for level flight (if required, depends on load).
Activate gyroscopes and disable flight controls if you want to take control of turrets. To control turrets, switch to the desired turret view and activate the turret. Control turrets using pitch and roll, mouse control works best for precision aiming. To take control of the aircraft again, disable the corresponding turret action group, enable flight controls and disable gyroscopes.
Weapons can be deployed from any station and the aircraft can still be controlled via yaw and trim at any time.

Modding

Due to the size and nature of the aircraft, some modification of stock content was required. Engine power and gyroscope effects increased to avoid stacking and clustering and Fine Tuner used to scale landing gear and default cockpit block.

    It's not really your fault, or your creation, I just have a really slow system.

    Thanks a lot guys!

    @SteadfastContracting I think the size hogs some performance as well, I always try to build 1:1 scale but it does have it's drawbacks, especially when part count gets a bit out of hand...

    This looks really fantastic, nice work. Unfortunately, I can" really get it to run on my laptop.

    I was thinking this was a pretty good plane...
    Saw the cockpit and instant spotlight.
    You really did a fantastic job on this!

    This thing is pretty awe inspiring and a lot of fun to fly and blow stuff up with. It doesn’t really need the gyros, but they do make hands off flying a little easier.

    Thanks!
    Adding some livery as LiamW suggested may be a good idea.

    I suggest using a livery with a shade of gray as the primary colour and secondary colours as anything you like (but not too bright). Also try a designer background mod. Be aware that I can’t fly anything with this part count so I’m just judging looks
