RamboJutter Victorious B2A 3.5

228k RamboJutter  4.4 years ago

During the cold war the British Government took one look at a certain white paper, decided it was nonsense written by a fantasist and created a requirement for a high speed missile platform that could fit in with the current bomber fleets, the RJ Victorious was the answer. Smaller than the American B1, larger than the Buccaneer, faster than the Vulcan and Victor but shorter range and smaller payload, the mighty Vic fitted the requirements perfectly.

VTOL forward = flaps down 1
VTOL down = wings swing back 2
VTOL neutral = wings swung out flaps retracted
AG1 = reheat with variable exhaust nozzles 3
AG2 = landing gear doors 4 5
AG3 = Brake parachute 6
AG4 = Navigation lights
AG5 = Airbrake activation 7
AG6 = Extend refueling probe and arm AGM88 Harm missiles
22 Note:tanking only available via WNP's tanking mod available here also take note of what he says, it is really really hard...
AG7 = arm AGM45 Shrike missiles
LG = Landing Gear retract/extend
TRIM = elevator
200mph = retraction of APU's

Armed with 8 AGM88s and 4 AGM45s the Victorious packed an almighty punch, the ability for flying long distances, utilising air to air refueling and attacking ground targets accurately from distance gave this aircraft its own niche within the RAF.

    @Gameboi14 @Trainzo Thanks, glad you appreciate the build, sorry about the part count but that's what happens when I play with interesting designs :) each engine exhaust is probably over 100 parts.
