Armament
Type 91 Mod.3 Torpedo
drop requirments
GS 0-400kph
Altitude 0-400 meters
Pitch -40 - +40 degrees
But Japanese ww2 doctrine requires droping it at 5 - 50 meters in altitude
Type 99 No.80 Mk 5
You can drop it in any way but i reccomend level flight at 3,000 meters in altitude
For the AP bomb you can replace the torpedo with it because i was not sure with what armament to give it, also the Set the activation group to AG0
extra controls
AG
1 - Fold the wings(can also drop bomb accidentaly if you dont set the activation group to 0)
VTOL - down are flaps
Max VTOL down - Arrestor gear
Pls leave a comment on what I should improve on my builds, every feed back helps. Thx have a good day:D
Also pls do not use the mirror mode it will mess it up, this plane is not fully symetrical.

I flew that in gunship sequel WW2 nice
make the Wing fold in putting xml code to you're hinge rotator to disableMeshBase true
Make the max to 1.28 and min to -0 to be actually you can fold it
Also vtol is good , but what if you added a rear turret and the pilot accidentally forgot to deactivate 1 , try using Active1 to the folders to not hinder the pilot , you can also detach both armaments and place them from the side with fixed activation ,and its up to them to mount what's need , you can also see my creation the Mi-to Type 0 SCAS KAI NI MODEL 1950 AND MODEL B IN MY PROFILE :D For reference my friend
