Ekster Mk1 Torpedo Bomber

84.1k Walvis  6.9 years ago

The Ekster Mk1 is designed to carry two lightweight torpedoes. It's used by the Krakabloa Airforce to defend Krakabloa from enemy ships.

Before the Ekster got into service, it was a modification of the Nprop Mk1 that used to be the main torpedo bomber of the Airforce. But due to the high production cost, and the fact that the Nprop was better used for other tasks, the Airforce submitted a request for a relatively cheap torpedo bomber. This lead to the creation of the Ekster Mk1.

How to use the torpedoes:
1. Make sure you are airborne.
2. Find a body of water, and / or a target.
3. Decrease the planes speed to below 190mph and decend to about 80 feet above the water (lower than 80ft is fine, I don't suggest going any higher though).
4. While doing the above, push the VTOL slider al the way up.
5. Activate "1", this drops the torpedo's.
6. Increase your throttle to make sure you don't crash! The bombs inside the torpedoes have the orbit camera enabled, You can switch to one of those cameras to focus on the torpedoes
