I PRESENT TO YOU

Heinkel He.309A "Teufelsvogel"

Description

He.309A was a bomber manufactured by Heinkel Flugzeugwerke in 1945. It was intended to be the most advanced bomber at It's time and will used to launch bombing raid on US soil. It used both propeller and jet engine, gave it an outstanding speed. It could reach 800kmph, faster than any other bombers at that time and even faster than the infamous P-51 Mustang. But It's pretty lightly armed, It's only armed with two machine guns with 360° degree of angle, one above the fuselage, one below. But the speed alone is enough to outrun chasing enemies.

Powered by 4 propeller for fuel efficient mode, usually used for long range bombing. Assisted by two jet engines, but It's not really good for the fuel efficiency and only used to outrun the enemies or short range, quick bombing raid.
It could carry 12x 500kg bombs or 24x 250kg bombs across the Atlantic, bringing a swift destruction to unsuspecting enemies. It nicknamed "Devil Bird" by the Allied forces for It's fearsome reputation. Only few were shot down by allied forces, since almost nothing could chase it while in high speed.

How To Fly This Thing

Taking Off
Like normal plane, throttle up and pitch up till you airborne
Flying
Control like normal plane, throttle >90% will activate the jet engine, ,AG2 to open Bomb bay and select target for the turret (they're not really accurate tho)
Landing
Throttle down to 20% and approach the runway, try to not over pitched to avoid damage on propeler, brake to stop the plane after touching ground

    @WinsWings I'm glad you like it, and i guess you're right, I will try to use the suggestions on my next builds

    @Panzerwaifu69 I was hoping you got the #1st place, I am sorry. But I vote for you personally. It is a fun one. Yes, B36 is the best example. Always keep the engines towards the main fuselage. The horizontal stabilizers need some sweep angle to match the wing sweep too. Also, I would put a 4-wheel bogie instead of 2 landing gear. (or) check the Heinkel He 177 landing gear that is cool. It is a heavy bomber about the size of this fictional one you are building

    @WinsWings Thanks and i guess that's right,like the actual B-36, I didn't thought of that while building it since I use a fictional bomber model I found online

    This is one of the nicest plane to fly during the challenge. I love that pusher propeller too. It will be great if the engines are sticking together towards the fuselage (center line of thrust) like the real ones. And landing gear placement.

    @Lake not really, It's actually screenshot, but my friend said she could draw a cloud effect for it since it doesn't have any cloud, she probably tweaks the color and lightning a little

    @Blitzgamer334 I found the codes on a SP discord server, so I copied it and paste it to mine, and slightly modify it
