Well, I say AGM-86, but to be honest, these are really a rough sketch. Not really a good replica. They do work, though.

The missile system makes things a wee bit complicated, so here is the gist of it all;

1. You need to be high and level. say 10,000 ft or so.
2. Action group 1 + VTOL up opens the bomb bay. There is a missile in there.
3. Select the appropriate camera for the bomb bay missile (cam 1) and activate action group 2. Keep VTOL all the way up. This should deploy the control surfaces and fire up the engine on the missile.
4. Pilot to the target.
5. Keep an eye on the artificial horizon and the altitude - this is for the mother ship.
6. Repeat with Cam 2 / group 3 and cam 3 / group 4 for the wing mounted missiles.

Have fun.

    @SteadfastContracting Good question... B-1? Nope. B-2? Nope. Any more?

    @ChiChiWerx Blood, sweat, tears and swearing. Lots of swearing.
    I had originally wanted to make a more faithful replica, but when doing my research I was confronted with the fact that a BUFF can carry 20 of these things. 20. Thats two - zero. Six under each wing and 8 in the rotary bomb bay insert. Thats a lot of bang bang.
    I have a far greater appreciation and respect for the B-52 as a weapons system now than I did before.
    No wonder these machines are pushing 50 years old. What do you replace them with?!?

    How you managed to create a working bomb bay on iOS, I will never know, but...nice!
