5,442 nafeij  4.0 years ago

Absolutely massive flying-wing bomber. Carries 180 Bomb-50s, as well as 32 Cleavers in 4 rotary launchers. Features elevons and a split rudder with slip-control system. Also features SnoWFLakE0s' Functional Bombsight.

AG1 - Bomb bay doors
AG2 - Drogue chute
Select Cleaver weapon and press FireGuns to activate rotary launchers. It will only launch one missile per keypress, so no hold-to-fire.
VTOL for flaps, Trim for pitch trim.

*Do not attempt to take-off from Yeager Airport, or from Wright at Medium or above terrain settings. The left wing will clip a mount near the end of the runway at the former, and will hit the wind sock at the latter.

    I found out the best place to take off this massive aircraft, is, quite ironically, the USS beast catapult, since, despite taking more than half of the carrier’s volume, there is enough open space at the bow for the wings not to collide.
