Auto Credit Based on SimplyElegant's [Closed] Seaplane Challenge!

Hello

This plane was heavily inspired by some Italian planes from WWII. I originally thought of it as an Italian Stuka.
It wasn't meant to be a seaplane at first, but it sort of evolved into one, and I'm glad it did.
I also tried something I've wanted to do for some time now: dazzle paint on planes. It was a pain to make, but I really like the result.
What do you think?

Rear Gunner

This plane features a working tail gunner (the auto-aim code is not written by me).
To activate it, press the button between the wings, on top of the fuselage right behind the cockpit.
This will enable the gunner's auto-shooting function. With this active, the gunner will fire whenever there's a possible shot (or when he feels like it).

Bombing Mode

Activate AG1 to enable bombing mode.
Once active, auto-level is disabled, dive flaps are extended, and the bombs are lowered out of the prop wash.

How to Fly

  • Throttle → Throttle
  • VTOL → Flaps
  • Trim → Trim
  • AG1 → Bombing mode

Enjoy

    Ohhhhhh from my buddy CrazyCatZe! fantastic -
    One safety issue: the rockets are inside or above the wing struts. I would move them outside for free-falling in case they don't fire correctly.

    @CalebRepublic, Thank you! I really like how the top wing configuration makes it look like a vulture... maybe I should’ve named it something like that.

    Bro, this is great! I like the way it is like a heavier seaplane but it still has a pretty low side profile. This whole thing is just vey creative. I love it!
