VTOL down for flaps, TRIM for elevator trim. With the failure of the SARO Lerwick a new design was tabled to replace it, the Fishburn was born. Designed as a medium range maritime patrol aircraft it was slow and steady but had range and some armament to take on enemy submarines when surfaced.

@CRJ900Pilot I was going to do boat but decided to go for wat instead.
I know. B (roundel) AT. Letter, roundel, letter letter @MEERKAT978
@CRJ900Pilot woulda been cool, but sadly no RAF or commonwealth markings worked like that, always Letter-Roundel-Letter-Letter :/
Yea... unfortunately you will have to use a custom torpedo because the stock one don’t do enough damage to sink with just one hit. Realistic but still... @ChiChiWerx
@OC3LOT1142 oh, yeah...I haven’t tried this method to torpedo that carrier, because that requires holding a heading and releasing a torp before getting blown out of the sky.
Makes sense... still its fun to try to torpedo the carrier and try to get away with it @ChiChiWerx
Very nice.
@OC3LOT1142 yes it’s a nice feature of the game, though by the end of the war the Germans had radar directed flak/AAA. I’m sure laying the radar took a couple of moments to achieve and I’m pretty sure it was only effective against bombers flying in a predictable stream.
Yea, it’s realistic that way... I mean back in the 40s you couldn’t exactly just lock on lol. I think it’s a really cool little thing that the game designers added. @ChiChiWerx
Then, to avoid the flak barrage, you need to change heading and altitude to avoid flying on the same trajectory for longer than about 5 seconds. Flak barrage seems to be aimed at an area and redirecting fire takes a few seconds.
Bombs! Of course. 30 to 60 degree dive angle makes bombing much easier. That and the fact they don’t actually shoot at you unless you shoot first!
You should have done 8(RAF SYMBOL)AT, which looks like boat. Anyway great plane, fun to bomb and strafe things!
@Trainzo thanks again trainzo, glad you like it.
@ChiChiWerx good man, bombs or strafing? I have no luck with bomb timings I always end up straddling the target (or missing completely)
Nice plane . Magnific camo as usual . Great job .
I took out the Tiny Too with this thing. And I survived the egress and trip home because I discovered a weakness with the flak barrage.
