B-17 Flying Fortress (with fully automatic aiming guns!!!!)

2,813 RichardScepton  2.7 years ago
Auto Credit Based on TiFosiF's B-17 Flying Fortress

How to use:

AG2: Open the cabin door. Activates autopilot, needed as the turret presumes the craft is level and aims accordingly.

AG3: Drop light bombs.

AG4: Drop heavy bombs.

Guns will automatically aim at targets and WILL lead them, meaning that anything within gun range (about 0.1 miles) is screwed. Deeply.

    @Bismarcksurvivor100 I was using the plane as a testbed of sorts for an automatic defense gunner system on planes, so I probably will remake it some time in the future with better historical refrences next time >_<

    Besides that though, fair point.

    Why do people copy the B-17 that has four propellers when it is only supposed to have three whoever made the one that you copied tell them can make a realistic and accurate one and also can you please make this one have three propellers instead of four
