Original build (by Tonnkatu) here

(autocredit died again)

Swarm version (multiple spawnable at once) here

• The Defensive bombers series’ aim is to make killing AI bomber targets 10x more difficult, because fun is not allowed. This is done by giving them the ability to shoot back at you >:). All bombers have a semi realistic armament with semi realistic ranges, muzzle velocities, and firing arcs.
• (Wiki)
  The Boeing YB-40 Flying Fortress was a modification for operational testing purposes of the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber aircraft, converted to act as a heavily armed gunship to support other bombers during World War II. At the time of its development, long-range fighter aircraft such as the North American P-51 Mustang were just entering quantity production, and thus were not yet available to accompany bombers all the way from England to Germany and back.

Notes

• Not much to say as usual, just glad that one of my most downloaded crafts in the series has a remake now so it's actually useable.
• It is .50 cal hell, approach at your own risk

Enjoy getting obliterated!
