One of my Warplanes - Japanese Torpedo Bomber

A radical design for an extremely long-range bomber. The Rikko came about from a direct order from Admiral Yamamoto. Minimal armament thanks to long range fighter escort and huge, fuel brimming wings meant it was extremely vulnerable to enemy fighters. Tactically it was a success - Rikkos flew incredibly deep strikes into Allied territories, catching its targets completely off guard.

Please note this is a complicated aiming system - but if you learn it you can snipe the carrier from quite the distance away.

ACT1 VTOL - landing flaps
ACT2 VTOL - vtol down to open hatch & extend aiming pod, with the torpedo periscope
ACT3 VTOL - vtol up and down rotates the marker disk, which alligns the main aiming sight.

You're gonna want to approach your target at about 100ft, flying level. Adjust vtol depending on the angle you are approaching the carrier, and when the carrier fits perfectly within the two large outer bars you will be at the correct distance to release.

ACT4 - drop torpedo. Keep activated until torpedo hits, as this powers the torp's engines too.
