Its a torpedo Bomber of my own design, I've had it sitting around for a while but finally decided just to upload it even if its not perfect to my standards. Its Based off of the TFB- Devastator a little but with my own pretty big twist here and there. The tail gun should be useable in VR and so is the cockpit which is always fun. Enjoy! :) Here is some fun stuff about the real actual TFB - Devastator

The Douglas TBD Devastator is a retired American torpedo bomber of the United States Navy. Ordered in 1934, it first flew in 1935 and entered service in 1937. At that point, it was the most advanced aircraft flying for the Navy, being the first metal monoplane in the United States Navy;[1] however, by the time of the US entry into World War 2, the TBD was already outdated.

The Devastator performed well early in the war, most notably in the Battle of the Coral Sea, but earned infamy for a catastrophic performance during the Battle of Midway in which 41 Devastators recorded zero torpedo hits with only six surviving to return to their carriers. Although much of the Devastator's dismal performance was later attributed to the many well-documented defects in the US Mark 13 torpedo, the aircraft was withdrawn from frontline service after Midway, being replaced by the Grumman TBF Avenger.
