Fictional
Service US Navy/Airforce (mixed). c. 1943-45
Manufacture Martin
Role Light Bomber and Torpedo plane; secondary patrol
Operations
VTOL: down to open bomb bay and extend torpedoes.
AG 1: Drop Red Group of wing bombs
AG 2: Drop Blue Group of wing bombs
AG 3: Nav Lights
AG 8: Gyro default on.
Weapons
6= 100 lbs. bombs.
3= standard air-carried torpedoes modified MK14 (bomb bay)
2= Anti-Ship machine gun (50 cal)
4= defensive machine guns (20 mm)
Flight and Characteristics
-Turns like a beast, and not meant as a dive bomber. If you roll and dive, let settle to baseline BEFORE diving.
-Very nose heavy, Trim UP about 60-70% for stable flight.
-is capable of water landing. (coast to under 120 mph before attempt)
-water take off is (might be) possible. Throttle to 90-100 mph, as nose dips pull up hard and continue until take off (140-150 mph appr).
No fictional history this time sorry.

Lol I thought it was quite heavy in the air, but that okay
Another thing is that it flies really well, too well for a plane of this setting. Remember, you are not being avaliated for how manueverable the plane is, but how realistically it flies. Your plane feels weightless when i'm flying it, and i feel like it could easily outmanuever a ME109.
I really like it, it's fun to play with. The torpedo bay is awesome!
Your plane can complete the challenge just fine, what concerns me is that you broke the rules by reducing mass and drag scale on several fuel carrying parts, which also makes the fuel lighter, rendering the plane unrealistic. Also, the use of a gyro (unnecessary for this plane IMO) makes it a bit more fantasious. Do you want to keep this submission and be penalized for breaking the rules or do you prefer to post it again with all the issues fixed?
This looks really good. I'll Review it shortly.
