This is for Pufferfish0754's Heavy Bomber Challenge.
READ THE DESCRIPTION
NOTICE: Apparently the bombs will hit the bomb bay door causing it to explode, a fix is currently underway
The LA PB-21 is a four engine long range strategic bomber/patrol aircraft. It can carry 50 boom 25s or 25 boom 50s. It is loaded with 50 boom 25s by default.
Controls:
AG1 & AG2 drop two groups of bombs. Activate only 1 at a time. Release bombs individually to carpet bomb.
AG3 release wing fuel tanks
AG4 and VTOL down to open bomb bays, do this fast and then deactivate 4, because flaps are also VTOL
AG5 left gunner
AG6 right gunner
AG7 nose gunner
AG8 tail gunner
VTOL down for flaps
TRIM for trim.
Rotate gently at 200MPH IAS
This is no fighter jet, it can fly straight and turns by banking. Do not pull Gs at the risk of losing control and well... crashing. No parachutes are equipped.
VTOL up for spoilers when landing, use flaps for approach. Make sure payload is out of the bomber before landing.
Design inspired by the B-52, specifically the engines.
Based off my other account’s B-0. This makes the overall design over a year old at the time of publishing.

Are you flying level and giving them good spacing? I thought I fixed the issue when I turned off aircraft collisions for the block behind the bomb bay. @Pufferfish0754
I give 140 out of 150 because there is some big issues with the bombs(they explode when I drop them even if I open the bomb bays).
