GDI ORCA Bomber

60 TRSredspark  8.1 years ago

The GDI ORCA Bomber was a mainstay of the GDI's air-force during the Second Tiberium War where its main priority was carpet bombing requiring it to restock after every raid due to its bomb capacity being four 250 pound bombs.

The ORCA Bomber was retired after the Second Tiberium War and its role was succeeded by the Firehawk fixed wing fighter-bomber during the Third Tiberium War.

Before flying the Trim (Right Slider) must be pulled fully down to get the primary rotors into position
The VTOL (Left Slider) is the bomb bay doors control
To drop the bombs activate control grouping 1 which will cause all bombs to drop simultaneously
The turning of this aircraft can sometimes be finicky which will require careful adjustments during flight.
The optimal thrust levels are between 65 and 75 percent during flight and 80 to 90 during take-off
