Behold, after 2.3 years of staying sileny, I have finally rebuilt the most underrated garbage plane of the Pacific. We all know the story of the TBD Devastator. Ahead in 1935, but garbage by 1942. I finally got the screenshot mods working, so heres some landscapes and unrealistic expecations of attacking TMach5's Hiryu and Soryu.
Controls
-AG-1 and VTOL up for gear
-AG-8 to disable the front .30 Browning.
Extras
Painted Similarly to VT-6 USS Enterprise (1942)
Open cockpit with gunners along with a prewar paint (VT-5, USS Yorktown, 1938) to be posted below

Actually, this plane isnt garbage. Until midway, this plane had one of the best combat records of any naval aircraft, suffering no losses for the first 6 months of war.
This is a great plane! It can go up to 298 mph, is very maneuverable, and its 30 caliber gun is quite OP! Although, I have made various improvements, such as making the wings wider(like actual devastators), adding another frontal 30 caliber gun(not very historically accurate) and increasing the size of the Tail surfaces(especially the vertical stabilizer). @ShiptyTheLucario ,would you like it if i uploaded the other verion as well?
This thing only has 46 parts!? Phenomial!
nice plane but next time use LandingGear as your input for the gear.
nice plane
