A-5 Thunder-Strike

Auto Credit Based on Walvis's Medium Bomber Challenge [CLOSED]

The A-5 Thunder-Strike is a cold war era "ground attack" aircraft. While it preformed its duties well, the whole ground strike title was not necessarily the best fit for it, but as a medium bomber it worked wonderfully. It was developed by the US in the mid 60's and early 70's but never really used, due to better options such as the A-10 Warthog being a cheaper and more efficient option. While it may not have been used much, there were a few other counties that decided that it was good enough for their service. Its armament has 12 Air-to-Ground missiles, about 40 small high-explosive bombs, 2 unguided rocket pods, and 2 minigun pods.

CONTROLS:
atv.1-canopy
atv.2-drop all bombs
atv.3-open bomb bay (use VTOL slider)
atv.4-activate weapons
atv.5-parachute
atv.6- nothing
atv.7- nothing
atv.8-nothing

SIDE NOTE: so i think all you have to do in order to have the last few pieces that are invisible on the plane appear is to just press the unhide parts thing because i wanted to show off the bombs btw there are about 40ish i think but they are pretty small so thats why there are that many.
