XA-52 Flying Artillery

Auto Credit Based on SpiritusRaptor's Fire-mission on any location!

I knew I had to make this as soon as I saw SpiritusRaptor's newest cannon design. Full credit to him for the cannon; I just made a simple bomber and attached A to B. This aircraft flies pretty well for its size and the cannon is very accurate. There are also 4 weapon pylons on each wing and a minigun, which I only added for the reticle. VTOL down and gear button to retract the awkward-looking but reliable landing gear, AG1-7 to fire the Boom 25 projectiles. A word of warning: the cannon barrel enjoys skydiving and might fall off the aircraft when AG4 is hit, and in that case you will find the minigun much more useful. If any of you wish to fix the barrel's stubborn suicidal tendencies, that would be just swell. Enjoy and make sure to go check out SR's amazing builds!

    I was able to fix it! it seems the autoloader system would detach when cycling the shells, and the entire chamber would fly off, this is because of the speed of the plane. I simply put a block directly behind the chamber, catching it if it flew off, and allowing it to still cycle. For safety measures, I connected the body of the gun to the hull, is there a way for me to share it to you?

    XD I fired the gun blindly into the carrier fleet and sunk the carrier and a destroyer!
