Controls near bottom, they’re important

Story:

It is 1945 and the war is turning... for the axis. The b-25 was not keeping up with the demand. North American designed this, the B-16 in a 18 month contract with the U.S. Air Force. At first the Air Force doubted its ability because of its difficult landing characteristics and its un-defended underside. The Brits were the first to place an order of 8 of them in 1946. They soon released with the right configuration, it could be a great ground attack aircraft. They suggested adding 1 nose gun, 2 under wing cannons, (all in a fixed position), 14 rockets and an armored underside. The U.S. Took these suggestions and found the plane as a great ground attacker, despite the high takeoff and landing speed.

Pilots Info:

• Rotation Speeds

  • No Flaps = 250 mph
  • 1/2 Flaps = 215 mph
  • Full Flaps = 175 mph

• Inflight speeds (All recorded with 100% throttle)

  • 1000ft = 405 mph
  • 5000ft = 432 mph
  • 10000ft = 466 mph
  • 20000ft = 536 mph
  • 30000ft = 600 mph

• Stall Speed (The stall is greater it is at higher altitude, even with flaps down)

  • Around 130-170

• Dive Speed

  • Max recorded 514 at 75 degree dive with full throttle
  • Max recorded 343 at 75 degree dive with 0 throttle

• Takeoff

  • Vtol half or full down, it’s up to you.
  • Throttle to 100% and pull up
  • Depending on flap settings, should pull off the ground at 175-215 mph

• Landing

  • Come in at 190 - 200
  • When runway clearly in view and you lined up, cut back power to 160-170
  • Touch down at 120-130
  • Brake, but do it cautiously. It tends to tip over and hit its wing tips and propellers

Controls:

• Flaps
  -Vtol down
• Movement
  -Standard controls for pitch, roll, yaw, etc.
• Bomb Bay
  -Ag1
• Turrets (All turrets use Roll and Pitch to move and have a corresponding gyro, I recommend turning all the turrets on for maximum protection and stability)
  -Ag2 nose guns (Camera 1-2)
-Ag3 top turret (Camera 3)
-Ag4 waits guns (Camera 4-5)
-Ag5 tail turret (Camera 6)
• Armament
  -Ag 2-5 activates the defensive guns, stated above
-Ag 7 activates the offensive guns, small wing mounted
bombs, and rockets
Main bombs are armed with Ag1

End Notes

• I got what I wanted, a nice looking bomber that has multi purpose
• I would have liked a lower stall and landing speed but I get what I get
• This is my first build with these colors, credit to @BogdanX
• Over all, this is probably my best build, I would rate it 8/10, only because of the landing factor
• I had a lot of fun making this, I hope you have just as much fun as I did building this flying
  

  Enjoy!
