Lotus (early)
This reasonably sized biplane began it’s type’s service as a carrier-based light bomber. In this configuration, it saw some service flying raids against Chinese ground forces and cities, but was then promptly retired in this variant after a few years due to an exponential increase of losses caused by the rapid advancements in the technology of the fighters it encountered.
I haven't made a plane I drew in a quite a bit, so I did that again. Problem is, I made six, so I had to choose which ones I will make. This is an "early" variant, which used the "older" nacelle arrangement, as well as a Scarff ring that can turn to the side. I chose two others, a "late" version which will be uploaded publicly and a torpedo bomber version that will be uploaded unlisted. Anyways, I added a lot of struts to make it not only more structural in the stabilizers but also to add some special details in it. I am also very very happy with how this flies, though it's slow sometimes it flies basically like how you would expect a biplane would fly. These planes also should work well when wanting to make AI bomber swarms since they don't have fixed guns onboard, are slow-flying, are equipped with bombs, and easy to try shooting down. Anyways, have fun sputtering around in the sky with this slow and fun biplane bomber!

Nice plane, but how did you do small bombs?
