This is the maritime strike and recon variant of the mighty Molot.

The cruise missile system makes this particular crate a bit more complex to fly. I will try to explain the ins and outs now;

1. On take off, before throttling up to start your roll, DEACTIVATE action group 8. This will ensure that the right outer missiles engine is turned off. Otherwise you will swing catastrophically to the left on take off and crash.
2. Other than this, this kite is generally quite easy to fly. Just dont exceed 400 mph in level flight. The wings start to oscillate quite a bit and might twist, causing a crash.
3. To operate the missiles i recommend to do the following;
a. Make sure you are at at least 15,000ft
b. Trim up slightly.
c. Throttle to 50%.
d. Select the appropriate chase camera for the missile being launched. Right inner is cam7, left inner cam 8, left outer cam 9 and right outer cam 10.
e. Action groups 1 (R in), 3 (L in), 5 (L out) and 7 (R out) are used for detaching the missiles. It is HIGHLY recommended to drop the missile before firing up the engine. Roll away from the mother ship upon disengaging the missile, otherwise the missile might porpoise up and clip the tail plane and / or wing. That would be bad.
f. The engines are then activated by action groups 2 (R in), 4 (L in), 6 (L out) and 8 (R out).
g. One can then pilot the missile to the intended target. Note that I recommend keeping an eye on the instruments (altimeter, air speed indicator and artificial horizon) to have an overview of the attitude, altitude and airspeed of the mother ship whilst you are busy piloting the missile.

I have tested and it takes two direct hits to sink thf USS Beast, one direct hit to sink her escorts and one direct hit to sink the USS Tiny.

Have fun!
