Auto Credit Based on BigCat's (CLOSED) Warbird Combo Challenge!

My warbird combo for BigCat, a mix of the de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito and the Fairey Barracuda, for an all-British heavy dive bomber.

As the Mosquito went from strength to strength in a variety of roles, the RAF requested a dive bomber variant be created. De Havilland brought in Fairey for their expertise in this specific role, particularly in light of the attack on the Tirpitz. The resulting machine marries the fast, powerful Mosquito to the best features of the Barracuda, creating a formidable threat for any naval target.

Pull the throttle right back (in to braking territory) to activate the dive brakes.

    For sure. That will not effect my judging of it, as it is a glitch not a design problem

    @BigCat huh, beats me then. It's still flying properly and staying in one piece, though?

    @BigCat yeah I had that issue too, it goes away if you use medium physics (or better, presumably). I have no idea why it does that.

    @ElGatoVolador don't be daft mate, BigCat definitely likes yours (I'll need to go try it), and s/he is the one you need to impress. Thank you, though!
