First entering service in 1949, the Arado E.655 was the successor to the E.555 "Amerika Bomber". It had the same payload capability as the E.555, but could fly faster and farther than even most of the escort fighters tasked with protecting it. For defense, it had a twin-mount MG.151 turret situated above and behind the cockpit, along a twin-mount MK.108 30mm cannon turret positioned in the extreme rear of the fuselage. Both turrets were remote-controlled by the weapons officer. The E.655 had a crew of four: A pilot, a navigator/radio-operator, weapons officer, and a bombardier. The B series variant was designed to be sold to other countries. Such countries were Japan, Romania, Hungary, and Finland, who all used E.655s for many years. A pair of E.655s are still used as maritime patrol aircraft in Romania, though they have been modernized and updated to adapt to recent leaps in warfare.
The aircraft shown here is of the IJA, in unknown squadron markings. It is equipped with three 1,500Kg bombs, along with two 6,000Kg bombs.

@FGW2014 I can post the link in a comment for you on your latest build
@DestinyAviation can you link it to me?
@DestinyAviation ok thx
@FGW2014 No. You can just go to the airplane search
@DestinyAviation under mods?
@FGW2014 I use a modded rotator that is activated by the landing gear function. If you look up something like "landing gear rotators", they should pop up.
How do i do the custom landing gear? Like the hinge things in xml
@PyrusEnderhunter yup :)
@DestinyAviation even then, I still have homework.
@PyrusEnderhunter yeah, that's usually when I have time
@DestinyAviation yep, same. I usually just build on Friday and the weekends.
@RussianAS if you want, I can upload a high-detail version later today (or sometime tomorrow).
@PyrusEnderhunter yeah, I know. I also just don't have a lot of time to build nowadays, so I do the best I can with the time that I have.
@RussianAS @DestinyAviation weird: I’m looking at this conversation, but my definition of mobile friendly is like....500 parts....
@DestinyAviation ok
@RussianAS Ok. Well, I usually go for more mobile-friendly builds (yeah, I know that they made it so that they can download higher part-count planes). I also just don't really know what details to put, other than some intakes to look like panel lines. I also try to go for performance, and at least in this planes case, it performs like a real jet bomber does.
@DestinyAviation To make the details?
@RussianAS Oh, ok. What do you think I could have done better?
@DestinyAviation Forgive me, I'm just a bad interpreter, I meant (Bad, maybe better)
@RussianAS What is "badly"?
Badly...Could be better
Awesome ;)
