Sikorsky Ilya Muromets
Background info
The Sikorsky Ilya Muromets were a class of Russian pre-World War I large four-engine commercial airliners and military heavy bombers used during World War I by the Russian Empire. The aircraft series was named after Ilya Muromets, a hero from Slavic mythology. The series was based on the Russky Vityaz or Le Grand, the world's first four-engined aircraft, designed by Igor Sikorsky. The Ilya Muromets aircraft as it appeared in 1913 was a revolutionary design, intended for commercial service with its spacious fuselage incorporating a passenger saloon and washroom on board. The Ilya Muromets was the world's first multi-engine aircraft in production and at least sixty were built. During World War I, it became the first four-engine bomber to equip a dedicated strategic bombing unit. This heavy bomber was unrivaled in the early stages of the war, as the Central Powers had no aircraft capable enough to rival it until much later.
Specifications
-Interior
This Ilya Muromet includes a slightly detailed interior that I will update in my future versions of this plane.
-Auto targeting gun
I used funky trees to give this gun auto aiming so no need to worry about taking the time to precisely aim it.
-1:1 scale replica
I made this plane a one to one scale replica as best I could and its pretty much exact.
CONTROLS
Quite simple to fly
-need to exceed 120 mph to take off
-AG1 open bomb bay and arm bombs
-AG2 enable gyro and rotators for auto targeting gun, you need to be within 6 miles of another aircraft for the gun to lock on. This gun is still a WIP so it does best at close range.
Have Fun!

People know this as a bomber, but forget that it was the first airliner ever built
can't believe I missed this in the first place
No, all my points came from Kevin! And memes. @Scorpii
@Kipo I saw some of your builds and didn’t think they were bad, you should see some of my older builds lol
How are we nearly the same level?! I’m trash but u so good! I’m embarrassed 😞 @Scorpii
@Mikey101234 bf1 actually inspired me to build this!
Make the auto aim gun as a part i want one.
Good plane i Like it
In the early days of the Russian dlc for bf1 I remember this bomber being op because some support class(the actual class that was the engineer and ammo supplier for bf1) could just go into the seat facing outside of the door with a repair tool and just keep on repairing the plane while in mid air
Awesome plane good job
@CrazyPenguin1306 my skill level isn't going to allow it, as well as my device. Look at my latest teaser to see how good I am at building.
@PapaKernels Why don't you make it then??
There are so many of these now, but no one is making the civilian version. :(
Cool
