@KillerDread You wanted a plasma cannon version of Schrage Musik -- this is entirely different. Sure, maybe your request made me think of this, you can take credit for that.
@phanps Thanks. Maybe the gif makes it look like toss bombing, but it isn't. Watch the video for a better view. It shoots out bombs behind it with a speed equal to the aircraft's forward speed, so that they fall vertically.
@EternalDarkness That's SledDriver Industries for you, bringing power(ful weapons) to the people. But didn't you try my dive bombers? They let you do the same thing.
@KillerDread What would you like me to do with it? It's nothing like my build style, and I haven't built any boats/ships yet, so maybe I'm not the man to ask. EternalDarkness and Feanor come to mind as two leading ship builders on this site.
@KSPFSXandSP You mean the cosmetic bomb casing, or the bombs themselves? If the former, it's about 60 feet long and 8 feet in diameter. Makes for nice videos.
If you mean what actual bombs I'm using, it contains two Boom 50s scaled up 3x.
@KSPFSXandSP Yeah. Hopefully, if Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos etc. have their way, passenger space flights will be a reality and we can all travel at Mach 25 someday.
@KSPFSXandSP It's just two Boom 50s, scaled up by 3x. The "special" explosion happens sometimes, I don't know if it's random or whether it depends on where you hit the target. Either way, the Jundroo developers did that, not I :)
@DJ123 I use OBS Studio to record videos, and VirtualDub to convert them to gifs. But there are plenty of alternatives out there, I'm sure. A gif is just an image and can be posted like any other image.
@Davisplanez Absolutely. Accurate dive-bombing in SimplePlanes is hard enough, let alone with a bomb big enough to be visible from a distance. On top of that, you need an airplane that flies steady enough so you can switch to orbit view and get a nice video, without veering off target. And finally, to get a video like that, with the airplane climbing away, framed by the explosion and flying debris... well, it takes a lot of things to come together just right.
@BaconRoll When you get a direct hit, it really is awesome. Luckily it's not difficult with this airplane, I can get direct hits on the Beast about 80% of the time.
@Davisplanez It's just a bomb-like shape comprised of fuselage blocks, containing two bombs, attached to some detachers. You can drag it off this build by using the "pylon" attaching the bomb to the airplane. It's probably too large for most builds, though.

@phanps Well, that only took 300-odd uploads... :)
@chancey21 They can be curved, but that will give the fuselage a ribbed appearance.
@Mijmaj Ist gut, ja?
Thanks, @KillerDread
@Davisplanez Holy carpet bomb, Batman...
@phanps Thanks. Maybe the gif makes it look like toss bombing, but it isn't. Watch the video for a better view. It shoots out bombs behind it with a speed equal to the aircraft's forward speed, so that they fall vertically.
Good to know, @BaconRoll
@chancey21 STL? I thought it was going to be a simple tube with holes in it.... Also keep in mind that the holes will have square corners.
@chancey21 Well, if you're gonna be that complimentary, how can I refuse? I'll generate it tomorrow.
@Ephwurd No harm done, you can always delete the files and reinstall.
Thanks, @Rose1725132, saying that makes you awesome.
@EternalDarkness That's SledDriver Industries for you, bringing power(ful weapons) to the people. But didn't you try my dive bombers? They let you do the same thing.
@Mijmaj But also CoolBomber, right?
@BaconRoll Thanks. Try the bombing technique, you might find it fun as well.
@Ephwurd OpenGL.
@Ephwurd Not sure what you mean. I just tried downloading it, and it worked just fine.
Nice, especially the gunsight.
@Al3jandro6304 No problem. Nice build, it handles well. Looks a little like the Global Hawk.
Thanks, @ACMECo1940
@Aeroman77 Nice. That makes me happy.
@Aeroman77 Let me guess... you got direct hits?
@KillerDread What would you like me to do with it? It's nothing like my build style, and I haven't built any boats/ships yet, so maybe I'm not the man to ask. EternalDarkness and Feanor come to mind as two leading ship builders on this site.
@KillerDread Sure, that's an idea. I'll put it on my list.

+1@KSPFSXandSP I know, but I like the metallic look. It's very easy to apply your own paint scheme, so you can always do that if you like.
@KSPFSXandSP Yeah. Hopefully, if Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos etc. have their way, passenger space flights will be a reality and we can all travel at Mach 25 someday.
That makes two of us, @Aeroman77. Did you try dive bombing with it?
@KSPFSXandSP It's just two Boom 50s, scaled up by 3x. The "special" explosion happens sometimes, I don't know if it's random or whether it depends on where you hit the target. Either way, the Jundroo developers did that, not I :)
@KerlonceauxIndustries missed your comment first time around. They're smooth because they're computer-generated.
@chancey21 I can, but why would I? You don't upvote my builds, you don't even give credit for custom parts, what's in it for me?
@DJ123 I use OBS Studio to record videos, and VirtualDub to convert them to gifs. But there are plenty of alternatives out there, I'm sure. A gif is just an image and can be posted like any other image.
@Davisplanez You're not supposed to, you're a fairly new user :) Have you tried out this build yet?
@Davisplanez Absolutely. Accurate dive-bombing in SimplePlanes is hard enough, let alone with a bomb big enough to be visible from a distance.

Thanks, @Davisplanez. That first GIF is the most spectacular moment of my entire SimplePlanes career.
@grizzlitn Nice job, look forward to what you come up with on PC.
@phanps Er, it's not me, it's the airplane :) That's why I uploaded it, so that anyone can perform the maneuver if they want to.
@Al3jandro6304 The power output goes from 1x to 50x. It's in the description.
@FGW2014 Set ammo="1000" on CounterMeasureDispenser.State.
@BaconRoll When you get a direct hit, it really is awesome. Luckily it's not difficult with this airplane, I can get direct hits on the Beast about 80% of the time.
@Davisplanez Yes, just one. It'll take down destroyers, but not the Beast. The point of this one was just to demonstrate level flight.
Thanks, @Davisplanez

Nice.
@Davisplanez :)
@TomShift Maybe, but I don't like wasting my time on things that don't work well.
No problem, @SoulDestroyer9
