Aichi M6A Seiran

1,200 KamikazeMLG  6.7 years ago

Just like everything else, this is a 1:1 scale build, it does have a home made torpedo since I build it on iOS (mod free). Drops using [1]. Release at less than 50ft and at 200 mph or slower or it doesn't work. (Kind of realistic in my opinion). Torpedo has Chase cam and Throttle on VTOL.
As always, enjoy and keep on flying!

The Aichi M6A Seiran ("Clear Sky Storm" or "Mist on a Fair Day") was a submarine-launched attack floatplane designed for the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. It was intended to operate from I-400 class submarines whose original mission was to conduct aerial attacks against the United States.
From the late 1920s, the Imperial Japanese Navy had developed a doctrine of operating floatplanes from submarines to search for targets. In December 1941, Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, proposed constructing a large fleet of submarine aircraft carriers (also designated STo or sen-toku — special submarine) whose purpose was to mount aerial attacks against American coastal cities. The submarines would surface to launch their aircraft by catapult, submerge to avoid detection, then surface again to retrieve the aircrews who would ditch their planes nearby. By June 1942, the plan was to build a fleet of eighteen such subs. This was later cut to nine, then five and finally just three as Japan's wartime fortunes declined.

    I love this mod community, they have greatly made mods for almost every plane. Thanks for making this lesser known bomber!

    This is the plane the aircraft carrier submarine I-400 carried right? :)
