Rear Turret aka "Butt Gun"
Formula fromNagisa/AsteroidB
. Formula is huge, 4000 chars, Do not open the turret rotators menu, they will glitch and turn into floppy.
Insane accuracy sometimes, can destroy one mach target at a distance of 5-7 miles, sometimes cannot hit anything. It works best with close targets with a similar heading.
Turret is a fun addition. It shoots fast (bullet accuracy) and deadly accurate (most of the time). If you want realism, you just can forget about the turret. In real life was almost useless. Human handled, it can hit only fighters that get in guns range. When the air to air guided missile was invented, the turret role was kaput
Accurate Flight Model
Realistic takeoff distance/speed also landing angle/speed.
Realistic maximum and climbing speed. Thanks to PointlessWhyshouldi
Realistic Roll, Pitch and Turn rate. (I hope). Also plane loses energy on hard turns.
Complex Construction
Most of it. Custom everything, from wings, control surfaces (and tabs), custom interiors for cockpit, bomb bay, landing gear housing etc... WarHawk95
helped with all kinds of details, insisted on weapons specs too
(Bomb Bay Interior)
RATO
Rocket Assist for TakeOff - Ideally, you should use it only for takeoff on short runaways. If you start airborne, eject them with Ag-3. Or not! RATO provides extra acceleration for 12 seconds, after that it self-ejects.

This is amazing. My dad (rip) was Russian and lived in the Soviet Union, he had a story of him swearing one of these flew over his house. (Apartment if you will)
All that aside, amazing work. I am honestly impressed with the detail you put into this, everything about it is just amazing.
Great work, Bogdan.
(And to the others that helped!)
ONLY 748 PARTS?!!??!!??!?!? with this amount of features and accuracies i thought it would have to be more than 1000! awesome part efficiency!
I just lost my account
I tick off the beast just evade missiles with this amazing aircraft
Превосходная работа
would you be able to make an updated one with 23mm cannons in the turret
My grandpa would tell me stories flying this plane. He'd always have fun with his comrades in arms inside the plane. Now he's dead. I miss him.
@Fdbrocks no, Bogdan has 66000 more points
He does realize he is the player with the most points In SimplePlanes
@jagtigercorps huh
You mean 10 months?
@Infinite17 he was AFK for over 2 years, no info
@WarHawk95 How does the delayed landing gear work on the plane and does it require XML?
Sorry @BogdanX but may I ask 2hat happened to spiritusraptor (im relatively new)
Fps suffered due to stupid rotten potato ass laptop specs. Love the plane so much though. UPVOTE!
Another great one!
@BogdanX , the king of part efficiency.. Great job!!
Wise use of parts eh
just epic!
@Reuben201103 I have 7 of them on my Kiev...it's like 75% of why I probably won't finish it lol. I have to add 4 more for the CIWS.
@ArkRoyalTheDDhunter Np!
I hope you don't mind but I'm using this for screenshots with my MiG-9. I'll probably put a gyro on it for AI use.

Glad I could help, sir.
Finally got the time to play the public release :)
I’ve never had a ft formula so complicated it actually causes lag before … incredible work.
THE KING IS BACK
