Part-Efficient Aircrafts~!!


slow, heavy, and a lumbering giant of a plane, it's very so-so flying it, but i mean, it's a bomber so... hmh.

flies slow, takeoffs slow, and idk, slow slow?

the bombs actually have impact on performance(wow, no surprise there, 800kg of extra weight isnt exactly light)


The Sikorsky Ilya Muromets was a class of Russian pre-World War I large four-engine commercial airliners and military heavy bombers used during World War I by the Russian Empire. The aircraft series was named after Ilya Muromets, a hero from Slavic mythology. The series was based on the Russky Vityaz or Le Grand, the world's first four-engined aircraft, designed by Igor Sikorsky. The Ilya Muromets aircraft as it appeared in 1913 was a revolutionary design, intended for commercial service with its spacious fuselage incorporating a passenger saloon and washroom on board. The Ilya Muromets was the world's first multi-engine aircraft in production and at least sixty were built. During World War I, it became the first four-engine bomber to equip a dedicated strategic bombing unit. This heavy bomber was unrivaled in the early stages of the war, as the Central Powers had no aircraft capable enough to rival it until much later.

[ Controls ]

  • Standard Aircraft Controls

[ Guidelines ]

[ Takeoff ]

  • Throttle 100%, let it take off by itself at around 70-80km/h

[ Flight ]

  • Standard Controls, pretty slow and heavy so don't t'cha have any ideas about dogfighting, it can barely even fly up.

[ Landing ]

  • 80% engine power, descend slowly and cut power off when touchdown, pretty easy to land since it's a lumbering slow giant.

[ Armaments ]

  • 8x 100kg Bombs

[ Notes ]

  • yes, very draggy, i need it to limit the max speed(and because I'm lazy), well, go roleplay some strategic bombing scenarios or so, hmh.

    @Yourlocalhuman it's a flat-faced bomber, it's half n' half actually, mostly part saving cause the actual Ilya has like a slit as a cockpit, or so it goes, no one would notice it from 100m away lmao
