Parachute Bombs
Thanks to the new 1.5 update, we have parachute bombs! What's so special about sticking a parachute on a bomb? Simple. So you can drop the bombs at much lower altitudes without blowing up your plane from your own bombs. It's so effective that one can safely drop Boom 50s equipped with parachutes at altitudes that would be dangerous to use standard Boom 25. This means you can get closer so you can drop your bombs much more precisely than ever before!
Both the Boom 50 model and Boom 25 are released with (1). If you want to change the AG of the bombs, simply change the AG of the bomb, the parachute (in the back. Kind of have to play with free camera to access it) and the pylon to that desired. Be sure to make sure said pylon, bomb, and parachute have the same AG. Low-level bombing has never been made so easy! If you aren't convinced, here's some testimonials to its use!
"Before parachute bombs, we either had to use Boom 25, which didn't really do much damage but we can escape the blast radius, or drop Boom 50 from higher altitudes, which although more powerful, was less precise. Now, with parachute bombs, I can do both!" - Lt. Vinnie Vickers, A-1E Pummeler pilot, 42nd Attack Squadron, Hainan Island
"With regular bombs, I could hit the target about 50 percent of the time, because I couldn't get closer. With parachute bombs, I could hit the target 90 percent of the time!" - Capt. Amy Rice, A-1F Pummeler pilot, 33rd Attack Squadron
"Before we were issued parachue bombs, our unit could destroy about 25 trucks a week. After we were issued parachute bombs, our unit could destroy 75 trucks a week! This bomb alone tripled our unit effectiveness overnight!" - Lt. Col. Charles Xing, CO of the 15th Attack Division
What are you waiting for! Get your parachute bombs before your enemy gets them before you!

Is this possible to make on iOS? I can download and use them but I can’t seem to make them myself

"Super accurate,drops where it's released.I attached 8 of these on my A-4 Skyhawk and i sunk USS Beast with ease. I'd recommend this to every military fighter-bomber squadron."

Ok thank you @Pilotmario Really awesome idea
@Fang1009 You will need to zoom inside the tail section in order to access it easily. And thanks!
I can't change anything on the parachute but still awesome
Did LuKorp quit? @Pilotmario
@Pilotmario What have you done? Screenshot?
Well. @Mudkip
@Pilotmario How's progress on the MLRS going?
@ThePlot The Pummeler can.
@ThePlot Yeah I'm gonna make one soon. It'll be simple though
If only there was a plane that could drop 10 of these bombs at once..... That's just a dream 🙁
@IcewolfGaming Thanks!
These are really cool!
It makes for one. @Liquidfox
Oh dear...@CertaNatusAerospaceSystems
I have an idea with this
hint:USSR, nuclear weapon. 50 megatons
@Jagdpanzer Yes indeed. You're welcome.
that actually works, thanks for that! I tried to do it on my own before, but your way is simpler and the game is called SimplePlanes, isn´t it?
@Supermini555 @exosuit @JakeTheDogg
@Mudkip Its basically making an MRLS from the M6A4 chassis. They're virtually identical.
@Pilotmario Using your M6A6 chassis.

@Mudkip Updated description.
@Mudkip That can be arranged.
