Messerschmitt Bf 110 Fighter Bomber

1,004 leaderwho  6.0 years ago

Here it is. The creation I'm most proud of. Has a functioning turret at the back and bombs. One of the historical planes that I've been making recently. A surprisingly decently maneuverable fighter despite its size and weight. You can just remove the bombs if you want a boost in maneuverability, though don't use the mirror tool, as it breaks the hinge mechanism it uses.

Controls
AG2: Activates the back turret. The controls are more or less identical to my previous creation, The Bristol Blenheim. While in this mode, switch to the camera on the turret, and use roll and pitch to control it. Be sure to turn off AG8, while doing so to turn off the control surfaces on the wings, so it doesn't move around when aiming the turret. Use the VTOL slider to turn the turret sideways to cover a larger area behind the plane. While in this mode you can control the plane, using Yaw to Roll and Trim to Pitch, so you don't have to switch back to do tiny adjustments to the course of the flight. (This works with sets of 2 hinges attached to the horizontal stabilizers. This is the mechanism that breaks if you mirror it. If you have a better way to implement this, please let me know) It is a bit easy to shoot off your vertical stabilizer and the engines, so be careful. Also aiming down too far down will break it.
AG8: Turning this off will turn off the control surfaces on the wings, so the plane won't move around when controlling the turret.

Feel free to comment suggestions for improvements.
