HYDRA Ze 152 heavy gunship mod.50
Towards the end of the war, Poladuria saw an increasing need for a long range heavy bomber. A request was sent to the most renound aeronautical engineering department in the whole empire. Developement began at the HYDRA in 1942 and soon after a succesful first flight in 1944, the Ze-152 went into mass production. Altogether 781 of these variants were built. Nicknamed "Zeus" the bomber was not only a long range heavy bomber, as it was assigned a myriad of different roles due to its good flight characteristics and customisability. This line of aircraft has since thrived for many decades in forms of heavy jet bombers. The Zeus had a huge armament capacity. It could carry practically anything from rockets to small aircraft. This variant carries 21 boom 50's, over 70 rockets and 8 air to ground inferno missiles. It is also equipped with 3 rotating turrets. The bombs are all located in the bombay. the are stacked on top of each other and therefor for each layer there is a different key. To open the bombay, pull the VTOL UP after pressing !. To drop the first layer of bombs number 1 must be active. for the secon layer press 2 and for the third, press 3. You can drop all bombs from different layers, but it will be uneven. to controll the turrets, presss 4 for the frontal side-mounted turrets and 5 for the turret located on top of the fuselage. The rest is pretty self explaetory. PLease tell me if you have any suggestions or ideas for improving this plane. Thanks!
