DB3M1 Captured Dive Bomber

5,184 AnHNWhiteCornet  3.1 years ago
Auto Credit Based on flame0w's Dive Bomber Challenge [CLOSED]

Introducing the DB3M1 bomber designed and made with the utmost haste and swiftness. I haven’t been able to create a backstory for the aircraft yet, but it would have been designed during the 1930s, captured and impressed into Japanese service during the Second World War.

Controls; standard
VTOL down for flaps, Trim for trim
Ag1 activates the dive brakes(use with flaps down please)
Ag2 releases the primary bomb
Ag3 drops the secondary bombs(not modeled)
Ag4 activates the rear gun use, pitch and roll for gun controls( make sure to activate ag6 and ag8)
Ag5 lowers the arresting hook
Ag6 opens the cockpit canopy
Ag7 to bail out the pilot and gunner
Ag8 unlocks locks control surfaces and deactivating ag8 will stabilize the aircraft
Armament,
2x fixed forward firing 7.7mm machine guns
1x rear flexible 7.7mm machine gun
1x 1000 pound bomb( l think it’s around one thousand pounds)
And hard points for 2 smaller bombs on the wings.

General information (unchecked and unrevised)
Top speed;
~225-230 knots at 10,000 feet with full load
~250 knots at 10,000 feet without load
Weight;
With full load N/A
With one -1000lb bomb 7,985 pounds
Crew 2 (pilot and gunner)

Features of the aircraft include an undetailed cockpit, iffy characteristics, and a working bail out feature with pilot figures originally made by TonnkatuTonnkatuThePig.

Have a enjoyable flight!

    This has a good max altitude I would say that it is a low altitude bombing companion For some bigger bombers maybe the Betty
