Auto Credit Based on skyeye1209's Earthquake AB.3b

Behold! The toughest plane in all SimplePlanes! This thing is damn near impossible to bring down with the lone machine gun. The wings are connected to the fuselage in six seperate points each, with multiple fuselage panels ensuring redundancy should one break. The wings are secured with three wing spars, ensuring that if one small section of wing is destroyed, the rest of the wing stays up and operational. If you want to tear a whole wing off, you need to cut through between three to nine fuselage blocks, depending on where you aim.

Should the engines catch flame, you can detach each engine seperately with numbers 1 through 6, 1 detaches the #1 engine, 2 detaches #2, etc. Should you decide your exposed munitions pose too much a threat of exploding, press 7 to jettison armament.

Beware! Compared with the unmodified Mark 3b Earthquake AB, the HAB.5 variant is far heavier and is barely airworthy; the wing spars create an unreasonably huge amount of drag. A worthy price to pay for nigh invincibility, I'd say.
