B-17 Fortress Tail Turret

Swallow your fear and take a seat in this infamous tail turret.

ACT 1 - flaps
ACT 3 - autopilot mode on

ACT 7 - Enable / Disable gunner controls (Roll/Yaw) (PC version with VTOL/TRIM control coming soon)
ACT 8 - Enable / Disable pilot controls

The default gun damage in the new update deals roughly 35 points of damage to a part, and most parts have a health of roughly 10-50 depending on that part size. Because it takes a little more than two .50cal hits to destroy an attacking fighter, I've reduced these gun's damage down to 20.

    @Weaverfish I love this! It's so awesome! I got the idea to make another version where the player can control the turret on the back of the plane (your plane doesn't have one but real B-17s had turrets on the back) so I made it using this plane as a base (deleted the tail gunner parts and bulit a turret on the back) my question is, can I upload it? (I will tag you of course but I haven't modified the cockpit so it will be autotagged to your plane as a successor)

    It only takes one .50cal round.

    Right to the pilot's dome.

    Could you make an He-111 with less than 160 parts please? It doesn't need to have functional turrets. Thanks!

    If you were to do a second version of this, I would recommend the ball turret
