Thank you everyone that has helped me to get to silver! Consider this a "silver rank" plane!
Built as an early-war carrier-based dive bomber, the SBE was comparable to the Douglas SBD Dauntless, even sharing the same 1200 horsepower Wright Cyclone engine. Three bomb racks allowed the SBE to rain death from above, and highly effective dive brakes effortlessly slowed it with time to spare in a dive. Pilots loved it for its smooth handling, but grew to appreciate the altitude they had because the aircraft only climbed sluggishly at best. However, this didn't hamper its record and it became one of the top scoring naval bombers of the war.
US roundels make by thealban.
AG 1 lets the rear turret be controlled. Use VTOL to turn it.
AG 2 enables the dive brakes, which are used with the regular airbrake key.
As always, try to enjoy the fruit of my labor.
