Part-Efficient Aircrafts~!!

my heaviest and largest plane yet, the ol' classic B-17G, nothing much going on besides of course, the beeg size.

also, fun fact! the Me-263 I had as it turns out cannot even hit the side of a barn given the chance because apparently it can't even shoot this down properly gaheehjuice agh

also, bombs go boom kaboom, hehe.

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is an American four-engined heavy bomber developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC). A fast and high-flying bomber of its era, the B-17 was used primarily in the European Theater of Operations and dropped more bombs than any other aircraft during World War II. It is the third-most produced bomber of all time, behind the American four-engined Consolidated B-24 Liberator and the German multirole, twin-engined Junkers Ju 88. It was also employed as a transport, antisubmarine aircraft, drone controller, and search-and-rescue aircraft.

All changes made to the Flying Fortress were incorporated into the final production version, the B-17G. These included the Bendix remotely-operated chin turret, bringing the bomber's defensive armament to thirteen .50 caliber machine guns. The waist gun windows were staggered, another carryover from the YB-40 "gunship" variant. This allowed more freedom of movement for the waist gunners. The earliest B-17Gs lacked the "cheek" machine gun mounts, as it was believed that the chin turret provided sufficient forward firepower; they were quickly reintroduced when this proved untrue. In a reversal of the B-17F's design, the starboard "cheek" machine gun mount was moved rearward and the port side mount was moved forward, just behind the edge of the bombardier's nose glazing to avoid interference with the storage of the chin turret's control yoke when it was not in use. For late production blocks of the G-series, the tail gun position was revised. Referred to as the "Cheyenne" configuration (after the modification center where it was introduced, the United Airlines Modification Center in Cheyenne, Wyoming), its guns were mounted in a new turret with a reflector sight and a much greater field of fire. Some 8,680 were built, and dozens were converted for several different uses

[ Controls ]

• Standard Aircraft Controls
• VTOL : Flaps
  

  ---

[ Guidelines ]

[ Taxiing ]

• 4-5% power, yaw to turn tailgear

[ Takeoff ]

• 100% Power, Flaps Half-down, let it takeoff by itself.

[ Flight ]

• Standard Controls; adjust trim as necessary, you can also use flaps.

[ Landing ]

• Approach, 15% Power, Flaps Half-down, descend slowly; Landing, 5-10% Power, Flaps Full-down(adjust accordingly), Touchdown!!; descend slowly, it has a hard gear(no suspension); Brake as hard as you'd like, it's damn heavy so heeheehoohoo.

[ Armaments ]

• .50cals not installed(part saving dum dum.)
• 8x 500lb Air Deliveries
  

  ---

[ Notes ]

• Don't hover your cursor on the wings on the designer, it'll revert back the wing root to 500% instead of 1400%(this one)

Free to use!

if ya want to make an airbase, or maybe make an airwing for a carrier, or maybe to help battleships lead their shells, you can add and use any of my planes (unless you claim them as your own creation, i will damp your pillows if you do.)

Want More Part-Efficient Aircrafts?

come along come along! we(yes, we.) have a lot of low part, simple, and realistic performing aircrafts for all to use and fight against! light performance cost and AI-spawnable, there's no reason not to! we have the little beloved Fuchs, the graceful Muromets, and... a lot of obscure aircrafts... ANYWAY COME JOIN US!!

P.S. if you want to throw in an idea, maybe a plane, a ship, anything really(I even got an interdimensional interplanetary vacuum cleaner).. go do it, I'll pick it up if i find the idea interesting enough.
