... So, can we use a similar setup to make those wooden-tailed torpedoes? IIRC both Japan and America attached wooden fins to their air-dropped torpedoes so that they can be dropped from greater altitudes at greater airspeeds.
@FalHartIndustries
It's pretty much the alternate-universe version of the WWII saying "If you want to get the girls, fly the Mustang. But, if you want to get back home, fly the Thunderbolt."
In case anyone's wondering this IS my alternate-universe version of the P-47 Thunderbolt.

... and if I'm ever to finish this I'll probably be quoting directly from the original.

@V Cannons. Whereas projectileLifetime is a fixed value, fuseInput supports funky trees and alows for timed detonation - something invaluable for making flak guns.
@WinsWings Actually, a Gloster-looking Ho 229 sounds mighty fine as of now.... or a Northrop-looking one, for that matter.
.
Also, aside from vertical stabilizers and wingtips, this Allied flying wing design would probably also have large round or square intakes (like the ones shown here), unlike the elliptical monstrosities on the 229.
@WinsWings
It's the same picture as the one shown there, right?
... and among all three models, only the green "Italian" design actually looks flyable, whereas the shovelwing (aka Monarchii's build) is tail-heavy (would've made much more sense to extend the wing all the way back), and this "British" jet incapable of surviving asymmetrical thrust.
... and something tells me flying wings also work pretty nicely with split brakes.
The only thing I can think about is the asymmetrical thrust if anything happened to one of the engines... Seriously, it would've looked much more realistic if we moved the nacelles closer to the cockpit.
Ahh, as they say, when you run out of ammo you become the ammo...

+1... which way? For my sanity I'll just assume the visual effects isn't the shield itself.

Ever heard of localized Fire Control systems? (aka use inputs from flight computers located right in the middle of the turret)
Also, that's why I'm using wing guns for my turrets, XML-ed bullet sizes work just as nicely as far as proximity-fused autocannons goes.
+1Or just an accurate enough turret with high enough damage; or a weapon with a good enough proximity fuse. Or both.

+1Jus' sayin', but staysails are more than welcomed on any square-rigged ship...
+1For my fraying sanity, is it correct to assume that the torpedoes are heavy wire-guided ASW torps instead of their WWII straight-run ancestors?
