Type-4 Heavy Bomber

Description

This is the formidable Type-4 Heavy Bomber, unofficially nicknamed "Kiba Kami" (Fang Deity or Tusk Spirit). It is a heavily-built, four-engine aircraft designed for long-range saturation bombing and battlefield dominance. The bomber is instantly recognizable by its imposing airframe and the massive gun defining its nose, giving it a devastating frontal "fang" in combat.

History: The "Kiba Kami" Project

I. The Doctrine of Overkill (1943-1945)
The Type-4 Program was conceived from a need for pure, overwhelming power. Military planners demanded a "flying artillery depot" - a bomber that carried the heaviest possible payload deep into enemy territory. The airframe had to be robust enough to handle the sheer size and weight of its unique armament.

II. The Birth of the Fang (1946-1948)
The defining moment came with the installation of the massive 150mm high-velocity cannon in the nose. Originally an experimental naval weapon, it was integrated to give the bomber a means to forcefully engage heavy targets, earning the aircraft its nickname, "Kiba Kami.".

III. Modernization and Service
Initial deployment focused on the carpet bombing of industrial zones and troop centers. However, its longevity was guaranteed by a later modernization program, which allowed for the addition of high-speed, guided weaponry. The airframe was reinforced to integrate the Air-to-Ground Missiles, combining the bomber's unrivaled bomb capacity with high-speed precision strikes, securing its role as a decisive weapon for decades.

Characteristics

Max speed ~ 610 kph (sea level)
Min speed ~ 230 kph (with full trim + flaps )
Prop engines - x4 2000 hp

It's recommended to lift of and land with full flaps and full trim at 230 kph
After 325 kph flaps work only in 'fight mode' adding slight agility
