@NutmegThunder81 I think it's about torpedo's prop overspeed problem
keep throttle least 1%
It blows up when taking off
404-
Something went wrong!
This plane explodes when trying to get off the ground!
I must build a naval bomber, too. Seriously, I should really build one.
Well, off to the workbench I guess :)
Btw, I like this.
This plane is awesome!!!
Wow!
Excellent piece of engineering! Nice details and smart design! I like it a lot!
We found the winner already?
Very cool! The past few days haven't been good for original, nice-looking builds, but yours breaks the drought. I can imagine, though, that Heinkel would have had a nightmare of a time trying to incorporate those props into the booms that way...I can see the Allied news headlines: "Nazi torpedo bomber's tail separates in flight...take that Adolf!"
Very nice job!
Totally like the design
Sweet
Sick dude. I love how this is so well thought out for a naval bomber - something the Germans never really had.
I recommend you setup a genuine torpedo sighting system for this. The torpedoes are super slow - but if you setup a system and say 'release the torpedo while approaching ship at its side, at a distance of 1 mile, 400m height at correct speed' and then attach an indicator on the gunsight... You'd be able to hit it every time you setup an attack run.
Well this looks amazing.
