TEB-24 Bomber

180 SuperJesse64  5.2 years ago

When the Shepherd Initiative first arrived in the Azur World, they had a major problem: the loss of Solium had cost them most of their vehicle schematics. As a consequence, they were forced to begin designing their own aircraft from scratch. After the assimilation of the Blackout Assembly and the reformation into the Shepherd Remnant, access to Blackout-controlled manufacturing plants allowed these designs to enter mass production to combat both Azur Lane and the Crimson Axis in their attempt to conquer this new world.

Pushing the Twin Engine design to its carrier-capable limit, the TEB-24 (Twin Engine Bomber, Model 24) is the Shepherd Remnant's attempt to create an answer to the fearsome B-25 airstrikes of the Eagle Union aircraft carrier, Hornet. The bomber treads somewhere between a medium bomber and a strike craft, carrying a payload of six bombs which are dropped in rapid succession when activated. Furthering the plane's anti-ground role is an additional payload of twin rocket launchers for attacking ships, and up to six ASM missiles. Despite this ground-attack dedication, the TEB-24 is capable of defending itself from enemy planes using three machine gun turrets; one at the nose, one beneath the fuselage, and one on the roof.

Controls:
1 - Arrestor hook
2 - Folding wings
3 - Bombs (Each bomb is released over half-second intervals. Apologies if they get stuck in the back. x_x)
6 - Bottom turret
7 - Roof turret

Tidbit time:
For a long time I really wanted to make something in the vein of EC Henry's First Order TIE Bomber, with bombs, turrets, cannon-type munitions, etc. The first actual attempt was my Botadon bomber (Didn't turn out all that well), and this is my second attempt. I also wound up basically going down the same road of thought as he did, making this essentially a sort of B-25 without being a B-25. I also wanted to add a bit onto the B-25 inspiration by designing this bomber to be able to launch/land on a carrier, and I'm honestly proud with the result.
That's all for now. Enjoy!
