Greetings Fellow Traveller!

I come from the land of Russian Bias and TU-4’s (war thunder if you haven’t guessed) lol sorry for disappearing for a year, I got a bit discouraged by the failure of my last (and completely trash now that I look back on it) upload, but I’m back!

Yea so I am back from hibernation and am traveling through Europe at the moment, in all the time I am spending on trains and planes I have decided to build you a very special creation never yet seen in these parts, I am taking advantage of my BRAND NEW build style and the very powerful tools that the developers have bestowed upon us mobile users, I can now resize and move parts wherever I please!

So the plane, it’s a Dornier Do 17 Z-7 Heavy Fighter,
I don’t think I need to explain it’s role unless you have little understanding of the English language, so into the history.

History
First flying in 1934 this light bomber was introduced in 1937 into Nazi Germany’s Luftwaffe, the design was then adapted to suit other roles, including heavy fighter, thus in 1940 the Z-7 variant was born

Specs
2x Bramo 323P-1 radial engines
3x 7.62mm machines guns (only included 2 sorry)
1x 20mm cannon
0x stronk Russian engineering

Flight Controls
Turrets- AG 2&3 with VTOL and Trim for manoeuvring the turrets
Also note: turrets have 2 cams for aiming

Enjoy, upvote if you like it, and comment any thoughts or defects with the vehicle

See ya next year (German puma in the works)
