W.B. 1

Today i present to you my most heavily armed plane ever.

Characteristics

This is a long range bomber capable of flying at 530/550 km/h while carrying around 30 bombs and 6 torpidoes. This plane Is also armed with 2 cannons and 3 guns per (working) turret

Lore/fictional backstory (skip if you're not interessed)

The N.A.F (national air force) was starting to build it's armament that was originally composed by small prop fighters and medium sized ground attack aircrafts. This lineup was efficient since the nation preffered not to destroy enemy cities with One blow but directingly invading the areas or bombing them with super cannons ( some extra large sized cannons). But this tactic started being obsolete and to destroy cities there was the need to bomb them from above, the N.A.F started converting ground attack aircrafts to light bombers quickly but it wouldn't have been a good solution on the long run. So development of 2 long range bombers was requested a land based One and a sea based one (with the second being the heavier version). Marcus aircraft productions stepped in and proposed the design of what would have become the W.B. 1 based on their somewhat successfull W.F. 1. Development was hard since the aircraft had many problems with weight distribution and thrust (that's why it was originally nicknamed by test pilots "the wild bull") but they managed to sort out all the issues. The plane entered service as the biggest bomber in the fleet and went on to get the nickname "sea monster" because of it's ability to totally erase cities and ships even in attacks in small numbers. The original 20 ordered were soon joined by other 50 models. A total of 220 were built for the N.A.F through time. and now they are ready to serve other nations.

Controls

Ag1+trim= trim
Ag2/3/4+Vtol+trim= turrets controls
Ag5= gyroscopic stability

Sorry for the long description, Hope you will enjoy it :)
(IMPORTANT EDIT, sorry if i didn't add this earlier. You must help yourself with trim when taking of and push the throttle at max with the gyroscope when spawning in the air)

    @1147793307ad sorry for the problem but maybe you can try helping yourself with trim because this Is still a pretty unstable plane, if you use trim and don't do hard turns it works perfectly fine (i wouldn't have posted it if it didn't fly)
