The A-5 Vigilante was the last strategic bomber in US Naval History. This plane was subject to just about every possible problem a bomber could face. It was technologically superior to many aircraft that it competed with. It was stationed in hot zones and was capable of deploying nuclear bombs. The aircraft had bay doors, but I was unable to replicate this. I could not find a document for a what it carried, but pictures have 4 bombs on the wings, so I went with that. I do not know if it had a flare system, so I left those out given that most articles state it was supposed to speed away from its target. Action Group - 1 is accurately placed Parachute, Action Groups 2 and 3 are the throttle input activators for both engines.
