This is the only Mercator ever built on the site. Until a couple of weeks ago, I didn't know it existed!
Act. 1 - Open bomb bay doors.
Act. 2 - Lights
VTOL - flaps
FireWeapons - launch Mk. 34 Torpedoes
The torpedoes' outside flops around in the water, ignore it. I couldn't fix it no matter how heavy the fuselage or detacher is.
The Martin P4M-1 Mercator was a maritime patrol aircraft used from 1950-1960 by the US Navy. Only 19 production models were built, with two converted into electronic countermeasures aircraft designated P4M-1Q. Unlike prior patrol aircraft such as the PB4Y Mariner, it had only 2 propellers. Instead of 4 propellers, it had 2 gasoline-burning jets built into the nacelles providing a higher top speed than propellers alone. The combined power provided it with very high takeoff power and high top speed for what it was. Maximum speed was about 410mph, however higher speeds could be achieved in a dive. It was fitted with tail and nose batteries, a dorsal turret, and two waist gunners. I put 6 Mk.34 torpedoes in the bomb bay, though by weight it could have held more.

MAKE A MOTHER F#CKING MOBILE VERSION WITHOUT THE MOD
asteroid, do you know of any good pre-built cockpits? i am making an airliner and i’m on mobile so it’s hard.
@Kago click on the successor link and look for them in a forum on the guys page. I’m not sure he ever released them actually though
how do i view the results for the mixed propulsion challenge? i would like to see who won
@ShootsPlanes I probably should, I just don’t usually make a lot of prop bombers
@asteroidbook345 you really should do more of these multi turreted auto turret aircrafts, quite fun being a flying anti air
@ShootsPlanes thanks lol
This is probably the best muti turreted auto turret aicraff i have seen
@EngineerOtaku sure! Nagisa has the link to the Google sheet used to calibrate the turrets in a forum.
Hey asteroid, would you be alright if I took the FT for the tail and dorsal turrets to use on my Tu-16 build? I'll be sure to credit if I do.
@asteroidbook345 Ok, thanks for letting me know. :)
@Thomasdog I was actually considering it for a while and just never got around to it
Can you make the Bell YFM-1 Airacuda pls? It is a pretty unknown plane.
Imagine forgetting you upvote and hitting the remove upvote button.
This will have some competition when I post my entry!
