A-21 "Bumblebee"

1,711 lis  6.2 years ago

A late WWII - Korean War heavy attacker aircraft, loosely based on the A-26 Invader. Equipped with quad nose-mounted AN/M2 Brownings, twin 81mm mortars, and a AN/M2 Browning in the tail turret. two powerful Wright engines power this plane to an impressive speed of over 300 mph, even in a slight climb. The twin 81mm mortars, being mounted in a schräge musik-style, and equipped with APHE rounds allow the pilot to destroy enemy infantry and light armor, and fortifications with ease. This plane was quickly outdone by the A-26 Invader, however, as the Wright Powerplants used frequently overheated or failed, and the US govt did not want to fund an engine change. =CONTROLS= AG1 - nose guns. AG2 - tail gun. Brake - airbrake. VTOL & TRIM - turret control. Air-To-Ground - mortars I think I didnt forget anything? Have fun

Note - All the guns are modeled accurately, with correct muzzle velocity and RPM
