How to use this thing?
-take-off and land like any other big boi plane
-activate ag1 to enable autopilot and rear gunner control. It is recommended to set your mouse as a joystick (default "right click"), also to prevent from wasting your frontal missiles it is recommended to deactivate ag8 (this turns off every frontal air-to-air weapon including wing guns and miniguns) [Important note!: before activating ag1 make sure to be more or less flying straight and not upside down or your bombs will do the funny]
-the rear gunner has a 50mm cannon with AP bullets. Aiming might be a bit tricky if you have never used anything similiar to this thing. So As you have noticed earlier enemy planes have that strange circle in front of them with cross inside similiar to your aiming sight. It represents location of that plane keeping its course and speed. As you move around your gun you will notice a smaller circle but with a small dot inside. TO hit your target you have to make your gun target a general direction of enemy's circle with cross with your small circle with dot. It is hard to aim it at small targets but oh boi one hit is always enaugh to take down even a heavy bomber.
additional information:
-has air brakes (press "brake" (default "B"))
-own autopilot (activate group 1 to use it)
-has countermeasures (default "V" to activate)
-I don't take responsibility for any coleteral damage caused by this thing
-it is porobably not mobile friendly because when I accidently exploded all bombs in air my computer froze for like 2 seconds...
