Blackburn Marauder

573 SVT13  6.6 years ago

Designed for low level penetration tactical bombing, interdiction, and SEAD, the Marauder was designed by the same team that created the Buccaneer, and shares a great number of similarities. Unfortunately, it was canceled in favor of the more versatile F-4 Phantom.

It mounts three types of (Fictional) experimental weapons in addition to a pair of Sidewinders for self defense. A pair of "banshee" heavy attack missiles, four Excalibur rocketed propelled bombs, and a pair of low drag 750 pound bombs.

Features and instructions:

AG1 arms the center line bombs and full VTOL in either direction rotates the bomb bay into position.

AG2 turns the afterburners on or off.

AG3 and VTOL activate the flaps, for best results move the slider up to about midway in the upper gap.

AG4 jetisons the external stores.

Do not have AG8 active, this arms all the weapons used to construct the custom weapons.

To fire the Missiles select "inferno" and use as normal.

The rocket bombs are launched by firing the unguided rockets, due to the high level of drag it is best to fire them from close range.

The center line bombs are boom 50s.
