HF-4 Divebomber

4,543 Quazal16  4.3 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Mustangflyer's WWII dive bomber challenge!!!!

I just kind of started building without planning things out. I think it looks like a combo of number WWII aircraft, though it just kind of naturally developed that way. So no real fictional history this time, other than it looks fairly late war, thus most likely Pacific theatre and finding its base on various islands.

CONTROL
AG 1: drops both Boom 500s at once.
AG 2: Activates belly bombs forward group (still must drop each)
AG 3: Activates belly bombs rear group (still must drop each)

Be careful dropping Booms, especially 500s, as your dive speed is faster than the bombs and you can bounce the bombs and explode yourself, even with the back of the tail. Drop bomb, even out a bit, and than pull up. Alternatively, throttle down before the drop and throttle up as you pull up.

its quite maneuverable and a capable dogfighter with a great array of forwards machineguns.

Landing: throttle down and glide in to land, otherwise it will overshoot a lot of runways.
