DR-3 G Draenor Gunship

7,203 Xogo  8.3 years ago

The Draenor Gunship was a unique form of bomber defense. One or two of these bombless, up armoured, up gunned Draenor "Gunships" would be flown out with bombers, and would fly as though they were actual bombers, inside the formation, sometimes even dropping false, wooden bombs. Should the fighter escort fail, these eccentric craft would take over the role of bomber defense. The idea was that the enemy interceptors wouldn't realise that they weren't looking at a bomber until it was too late. Turret additions of the Draenor "Gunship" are the over sized, high caliber gatling gun on the dorsal turret, the conversion of the bombardiers sight-bay into a single 7.7mm mg turret, (like the tail one), a twin 7.7mm turret added to the nose of the craft, and the under-wing "gunner pylons," each with a 7.7mm mg. Notes: Each turret is on a different act key (1-5)

    Thanks @PINK @LouisEP @Liquidfox @Johndfg @DestinyAviation @Treadmill103
    It's funny, I barely ever see angled cockpits, even though they're great for making detailed open cockpits on smaller things. If only I could make them transparent...
