Auto Credit Based on Pilotmario's Dominator Heavy Bomber Mk II

WARNING: DO NOT USE ON MOBILE. DELPLOYING ALL BOMBS MAY CRASH OR CAUSE SEVERE LAG ON MOBILE DEVICES. Press (1-5) to deploy internal bombs. Press (6-7) to deploy external bombs. Put Trim down in order to open bomb bay. VTOL down controls flaps, and VTOL up controls air brakes. To drop bombs in general area, use Camera 1, fly level, do not adjust camera, and ensure target is at edge of screen before dropping. A significant redesign of the original Dominator airframe, and the new heavy bomber of the Pilotmario Air Force. It features a 40% greater bombload, greater range, adds VTOL-actuated flaps and air brakes, improves cockpit visibility, and removes the tail gunner position. It is much larger than its predecessors, and can be distinguished by the use of a standard tail configuration than the T-tail used previously. It also uses compact Boom 50s, which are like standard Boom 50s except they are 58% smaller by volume. A general improvement, it will take its place as the premier heavy bomber of the Pilotmario Air Force, and an ideal weapons platform for when you absolutely must cover an area with a large quantity of explosives.

    Nice! Btw, our favorite argument invalidator is the Pummeler Attack Mk 2. @DestinyAviation

    @PINK These are the types we would compare bombers with. In our experience, the only level bombers that are relevant in modern combat are heavy bombers like this, as level bombers lack the precision of dedicated attack aircraft such as the Pummeler. PAF doctrine dictates that level bombing is only useful for carpet bombing an area target at long range, where the target is too large to practically destroy in a precision attack, or where friendly ground forces are not in danger of accidentally wandering into the drop zone.

    Targets that would qualify would be supply dumps, transport hubs, industrial parks, electrical power stations, army bases, and airfields, all which are far from the front lines. Such targets are large enough that with a massed formation of bombers, the imprecision of an individual bomber is a moot point. In this regard, the D-3 is highly unsuited for this task.
