Su-24

1,255 Planeswinger  8.7 years ago

The first variable geometry plane that I have ever made - it requires beta parts, however.

Activation groups: 1 to activate swing-wing (changes with throttle), 2 to drop Boom 50, and 3,4 and 5 to drop wing Boom 25's, and 6 to drop centerline mounted bombs.

NOTE: The Gun is the Gsh-6-23 (unfortunately, the gun doesn't have 122 rpm because the game just melts at that RoF). Performance isn't TOO good but it doesn't preform like the Su-15 that I built (which initially preformed like a brick with wings))

(Credit to SpiritusRaptor for the Red-Star's - they really did help me out in terms of aesthetics)

==History== (Taken from Wikipedia) The Sukhoi Su-24 (NATO reporting name: Fencer) is a supersonic, all-weather attack aircraft developed in the Soviet Union. The aircraft features a variable-sweep wing, twin-engines and a side-by-side seating arrangement for its two crew. It was the first of the USSR's aircraft to carry an integrated digital navigation/attack system. It remains in service with the Russian Air Force, Ukrainian Air Force, and various air forces to which it was exported.

NOTE: Found several flaws with the original design - bombs would just randomly explode. I fixed it now.
