The Infiltrator has an internal weapon bay fitted with 8x Interceptor, 3x Boom 25, and 5x Inferno. The nose has a bridge killing gun. The Night Shade Catamaran is useful to cruise in close to an enemy location under radar before launching the Infiltrator. The Night Shade sports 9x Torpedo and 2x bridge killing deck guns.

CONTROLS

Infiltrator
AG1: Engines
AG2: Disengage from Night Shade Catamaran
AG3: Internal weapon bay and nose gun goes weapons hot
Trim: Full down to open weapon bay, neutral position to close weapon bay. Don’t push trim upward unless you want the aircraft to crush and explode the loaded weapons. Remember to open the weapon bay prior to launching any weapons.

Night Shade Catamaran
AG4: Engines
AG5: Bridge killing deck guns — move around with yaw and pitch
AG6: Torpedos

HANDLING TIPS

To cruise with the Night Shade turn on engines and use yaw for steering.

To launch the Infiltrator ensure VTOL slider is neutral (i.e. nozzles pointing down), turn on the engines, go full throttle and disengage from the Night Shade while pulling back on the stick. Move VTOL slider upward to rotate nozzles rearward for increased forward velocity.

Note: Fuel gauge will read 100% to start and if you launch the Infiltrator right away the fuel gauge will then drop to 20%. Apparently the fuel gauge is showing what percentage of the total fuel is onboard the aircraft when adding both Infiltrator and Night Shade fuel…. a glitch?

THANKS @Gestour for the Glass Canopy cockpit.

Hope you have fun with the mix of maritime and airpower.
