Auto Credit Based on MAHADI's Luftwaffe Challenge (Closed)

For the Luftwaffe Challenge, I present to you: The Blitzflugzeug, meaning "lightning airplane". The top-secret aircraft is a medium bomber, with a unique untested meathod of dropping bombs: through a barrel out the back. Also, this aircraft features a set of X-Bombs, a new weapon developed by Germany's top-secret labratories in an effort to create a new explosive charge. Due to this plane's unusual manueverability, it is loaded with two air to ground cannons as well as twin light machine guns for night fighter versions. However, its slow speed means it requires a seperate means of protection, which was solved by the turret on the top. The triple fuselage design enabled multipile parts of the aircraft to be flown at once. Each outer pod controlled a cannon, and the center pod held the pilot, turret gunner, as well as the bombardier who controlled the belt-driven bomb dropping mechanism. The left pod, since it only had a cannon next to it, also worked landing gear and lighting systems; the right pod held the navigator. I hope you guys find this plane amusing and interesting to fly.

CONTROLS:
- VTOL for the turret
- Due to lots of wing area, no flaps are added
- Throttle for engines
- Yaw for ground steering
- Gear for gear
- Guns for guns

That about sums it all up. Have fun flying (if you fly it!)
