Aichi D3A (Val)

435 Yeller  6 days ago

Hello Everyone after the Corsair I found a love for the detailed planes so I've been using this week as a week of building again. I will not be uploading for another week sadly due to band stuff the only uploads might be a Corsair Update.

EXCLAIMER The Aichi D3A in real life is under powered and has difficulty in moving so in the game the plane is underpowered and difficult to move. THIS IS NOT MENT FOR DOGFIGHTS ITS MENT FOR PRECISE NAVAL BOMBING. Despite having guns on the front it is mostly obsolete unless they are coming directly at you. There is a reason I put a movable back gun.

Updates I do not plan on putting any more updates maybe small ones I'll still label it as version 1 but I will not be making any flight improvements

Time Line 1938-1945

Info (Wikipedia) The Aichi D3A (Navy designation "Type 99 Carrier Bomber"; Allied reporting name "Val")[a] is a World War II carrier-borne dive bomber. It was the primary dive bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) and was involved in almost all IJN actions, including the attack on Pearl Harbor.The Aichi D3A was the first Japanese aircraft to bomb American targets in the war, commencing with Pearl Harbor and U.S. bases in the Philippines, such as Clark Air Force Base. They sank more Allied warships than any other Axis aircraft.
