Part-Efficient Aircrafts~!!


a very heavy one she is, 7 tons empty, 9 tons fully loaded(or 10, hell, 11+ tons even if you wanna take that weight debuff.), so far she's the heaviest aircraft in my inventory, rather well flying and neat performing but of course not that good on dogfights, it's a nightfighter ya dally doo.

has some flaws but eh, it's good enouff.


The Aichi S1A Denko (Japanese : Bolt of Light) was a Japanese night fighter, intended to replace the Nakajima J1N1-S Gekkou (Allied code name Irving). Like the Gekkou, it was to be equipped with radar to counter the B-29 air raids over Japan. Development time for the S1A increased while trying to overcome design shortcomings, such as the insufficient power of the Navy's requested Nakajima Homare engines, resulting in no aircraft being completed before the war ended.

[ Controls ]

  • Standard Aircraft Controls
  • VTOL : Flaps

[ Guidelines ]

[ Takeoff ]

  • Engine power 100%, Flaps half-down, trim half up, let it take off by itself.

[ Flight ]

  • Standard Controls, rather heavy in controls naturally; use flaps half(or quarter)-down and pitch around 20° up to be a rocket in terms of climbing.

[ Landing ]

  • for Approach, Engine power 10%, adjust flaps as necessary; when Touchdown, brake responsibly, stock gear doesn't have any brake torque option so you're stuck with a very face-planting option, better to let it slow down accordingly.

[ Armaments ]

  • 2x Type 5 30mm Cannon, 450rpm, 920m/s(3065ft/s)
  • 2x Type 99 20mm Cannon, 520rpm, 600m/s(2000ft/s)

Free to use!

if ya want to make an airbase, or maybe make an airwing for a carrier, or maybe to help battleships lead their shells, you can add and use any of my planes (unless you claim them as your own creation, i will damp your pillows if you do.)
