THA-X4 The Expeller Mk.IX (Gunship Challenge)

21.0k LieutenantSOT  4.1 years ago

This is my most made design, and I think I am coming close to finishing it. Made in 2035 for the Thunder Hawks as a Fighter/Bomber. It holds a crew of 8 (2 cannoneers, 2 machine gunners, pilot/co pilot, and a mechanic and medic), has 2 side cannons, and an internal and external bomb bay. AG1 is Cannons (VTOL up and down to aim), AG2 and AG3 is for the machineguns, which now automatically aim when you click on a target. I made a "bomb bay" that holds 3 Boom 50s and 3 Boom 25s. There are 2 "Cleavers," but trust me, they are not Cleavers. They are nukes. This is a long range aircraft made for bombing runs and fighting ground forces as well as air forces. Top speed of 690 mph, and can go higher when diving. Pretty good maneuverability as well and custom landing gear. I hope you enjoy!

    I mixed the idea of the Italian Caproni Ca.3, the AC-130, the Gotha GV, and the B-17 Flying Fortress. I know this probably still doesn't count, though. Sorry for being a waste of your time

    RULES

    Replicas or realistic fiction
    Realistic
    This breaks that rule. Unless you have an IRL example of this being a legit design IRL or very similar to one, it is not allowed
