Aichi D3A

Also known as the Val by the US, the Aichi D3A was a Japanese, WW2, dive bomber. It was one of the planes to attack Pearl Harbor. The simple planes version has a close top speed as the original. Ag1 unlocks wing guns and vtol up does dive brakes.Ag2 and vtol-trim does rear machine gun. TAKEOFF:(works better on tarmac, not dirt) 100% and pull up. Easy as that. LANDING: Approach at 15%. Cut power at beginning of runway. Touch down at 130-140 mph. Brake and pull up. Also easy. DIVING: start dive and ag1 and vtol up one notch. Release bomb and pull up. It should hit rather close to where you were aiming. Enjoy! P.S. You could try to add more traction on the front tires to try for dirt runways
