I’m Back.
HISTORY
Built in intent to replace the Fairey Albacore, the Fairey Barracuda at first suffered from being underpowered. However, the Mk.II introduced the much more powerful Merlin engine, resulting in the adoption of the Barracuda by the Royal Navy, and a large scale service thereafter.
OPERATION
This one is mounted with 6 250lbs GP bombs, for the torpedo variant, see here
AG 4 - Bail out
AG 5 - Carrier operations
- AG 5 deactivate AG 8 - Fold wings
AG 7 - Rear Turret, deactivate AG8
AG 8 - Control
VARIANTS
NOTES
My first published aircraft using mostly hinge rotator for control surfaces. It improved stability.
Good day.

@Alvin77TheUser make your physics medium settings
@Ishimoss i have abd issue about this barracuda.When I spawn this in ground,the wheel keeps bouncing.Can you fix this?
Torpedo version have a less volatile drop. @WolfSpark
Well that’s what breaks the landing gear lol
Still love it no matter what’s wrong with technicality. Same with your planes in general. Keep up the good work!
It’s a high descend. @WolfSpark
It’s highly hard to land this on a carrier deck. You can’t put your tail down in time to catch the wire because it stalls too easy and even if you were at the right speed you’d be airborne when you catch, too low a speed your gear will break apart as it clips the deck. It’s highly well done but the physics are a problem.
Don’t ya love simpleplanes’s simply awful physics :/
Amazing job tho
@anonimosu
This is Ugly but EPIC well done best friend!
Epic!
Nice build . Great job .
This is a Fairey cool build! Lovely work on this
I won’t be able to publish the torpedo version until I resolve a rather urgent issue, it is to do with detacher physics underwater. . . @Tang0five
“OH......BARRACUDA!” (Song for all you millennials)
This is a lovely build, 1:1 as well. I shall take her for a spin!
