Notes
-Sorry, bad cockpit view, but I did put a camera in there
-Camera view for each turret
-Sorry for the re-upload! I didn't realize I'd left some stuff out after I'd uploaded it
-I purposely left the aircraft in a "blank" state so that you guys could make it whatever squadron you want
Controls
-Action group 8 + VTOL: Rotate turrets
-Action group 7 + VTOL down: Open bomb bay (return to neutral to close doors)
-Action groups 1&2: Drop torpedos
Designed in 1946 by the Grumman company, the XB-27 Skythief was meant as a maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft. As such, it had a little over 1,800 gallons of fuel, giving it an excellent flight time and longevity. It had a crew of five: Pilot, Navigator, Radio Operator, and two gunners for the remote-controlled turrets. Ll five crew except the pilot sat in the section just aft of the cockpit. I'm the event of a bail-out, the pilot would pull a lever under his seat that ejected the canopy and the crew door away from the plane. The XB-27C featured more advanced sonar and radar systems, which proved to be sufficient in detecting submarines at a depth of 1,500 feet below the water. The XB-27 would later enter production with the US Navy as the BT-27/28 MPRA, and the latter would serve from 1951 to 1972. One XB-27C still exists, and it resides in the Aerostyle Military Archives facility.

I forgot to write it down, didn't I? Shoot, @Thepilot172. Thanks for reminding me that it does
Oh ok
But remember, this isn't supposed to be very maneuverable. It's a reconnaissance and patrol plane @Wingman522
I can try, @Wingman522
Could you make a version that's more manuverable and has a good cockpit view?
Well... unless he's heading in my direction
Lol @Wingman522
Lol it's good at kamikazeing And it's my style of aircraft. I pretty much kamikaze everything that's slower than me. And also it never loses control. (Unless its missing a wing).
Hot damn this is amazing, can't fly right now but I will later :)
