TIE/sf Tactical Bomber

Description


The TIE/sa bomber was specifically designed by Sienar Fleet Systems for use in the military of the Galactic Empire. A model of light bomber, it was part of the TIE line of starfighters,[2] distinguished by their twin ion engines and solar collector panels.[1] The bomber measured 7.9 meters long, 10.6 meters wide, and 5.4 meters high.[2] In keeping with the Empire's preference for muted colors,[10] it was painted a bluish gray.[2]

Like the TIE Advanced x1 prototype, the TIE/sa bomber had inclined wings, which maximized its speed and maneuverability while carrying mass of heavy ordnance. Unlike the other models in the TIE line, the bomber had not one but two central pods: a starboard cockpit for the pilot and a portside ordnance bay for the munitions. The cockpit featured two forward-mounted laser cannons, the standard transparisteel viewport, and an ejector seat in case a pilot on a distant bombing run needed to abandon ship.[2]

The ordnance bay was divided into two sections. The forward ordnance bay carried either eight concussion missiles or four proton torpedoes. The main ordnance bay carried either four proton torpedoes and eight concussion missiles, or eight proton bombs and sixty-four thermal detonators, or six orbital mines, or even stormtroopers. Located underneath the ordnance pod was a bomb chute connected to the ship's targeting systems, a T-s7b targeting computer and a 398X bomb sight. The pod also featured a missile port that allowed for front-launching and torpedoes.[2] The ordnance bay could also be swapped for a passenger cabin with room for six.[6]

How To Fly This Thing?

Take Off

This plane only support VTOL take off
Just simply increase the throttle to 20-30%, wait till you get enough height
Then slide the VTOL to max and increase engine to max
After you get 500kmph, deactivate AG8.
Never deactivate AG8 before you reach enough speed, or the plane might flip uncontrolably!

Flying

Just fly like a normal plane, but beware of low speed (below 500kph), it might start to uncontrollable
When your plane start to flip, activate AG8, it will stabilize the plane again, wait till you get at least 500kmph speed before deactivating it

Landing

Activate AG8, then decrease throttle
Once you close to the ground, set VTOL to middle and throttle about 20%
Slowly land your plane
Don’t worry about exploding when you land too hard, i’ve set the wing/solar panel to be strong enough

Activation Group

AG1:None
AG2:Weapons
AG3-7:None
AG8:VTOL Gyroscope

Features


-Simple Interior
-Deadly armanents

Known Issues

-speed and size don't match the actual speed and size
-It's not 100% looks like real TIE Bomber
-A bit complicated control
-weapons doesn't sound like real SW weapons
-No Cockpit hatch, I Just realized I forgot This one when the plane completed, I'm afraid to ruin everything, so I decided to skip the Hatch
