The LaC-ATTB1 N/AW Snail


About:
The Snail is a naval ground attack/torpedo bomber aircraft used by the Ciorian Imperial Air Force Naval Division in the late 30s and early 40s. The Snail has a crew of two: the pilot and the radio operator/navigator. In the N/AW variant, the radio operator/navigator also operates the night vision sight (Which, in the game, doesn't actually do night vision... Sorry...). The pilot, however, is still the one to pull the trigger.
The "ATTB" part in LaC-ATTB1 stands for "All Terrain Torpedo Bomber". The "All Terrain" part means it can be either land based or ship based. I'm sure there's another specific word that signifies that but I didn't know it so I just said "All Terrain"...
The Snail uses a control surface setup that I have personally never seen before, but I'm sure it's been used before. The top wing is where the ailerons are located, and the bottom wing is where the flaps are located. This allows for bigger control surfaces both ways.

Controls.
Flight controls are normal, and VTOL for flaps. AG1for arrestor hook.


Anyway, enjoy the plane! Thanks for reading and happy building!
