I made the B-34 as a faster replacement for other bombers. It has a higher service ceiling than the B-17 and it also has a ton of bombs. It is also well defended on all sides by a lot of turrets. Its top speed is 550 mph. Activation groups go with their cameras. Act 1 = top turret, Act 2 = bottom turret, Act 3 = back turret, Act 4 = front turret. I hope this bomber will make a difference in the alternate ww2, because the axis fighters are getting faster and faster. Enjoy and check out Mr Vaul Tec's alternate WW2!

@TheRubyArmy1134 Not too bad, she guzzles fuel, but then again that's to be expected of a jet - especially one lugging around bombs externally. (Internal bomb bays would be a serious challenge for people not using Windows, where you can nudge parts in small increments.) She does pretty well in level flight with a max speed around 688~690 mph at 35-45k feet. I don't suggest evasive maneuvers at those speeds or in a dive though while still loaded with those 9 tons of bombs as the wings warp at those speeds. Hopefully the turrets would be a deturant enough for my axis partners' and my own fighters. ;-)
A small suggestion for the turrets, check my SILK-234, a bomber from a previous RP. I recommend "stealing" those angled guns and adding them to your' subassemblies. Putting those on a turret gives you the ability to direct your' fire towards directions that would otherwise require hinge linked trim in a rotating turret. The only other suggestion I would offer is to use structural wings for the inner portions of the main wings and then add the regular wing beyond it, adjusted to fit of course, as this provides a more rigid wing that doesn't warp at those speeds. Otherwise its a great aircraft and I look forward to a great many of these providing an artistic junk-art decor to Lapland, post-war. XD (Not so much though to what they will be doing to Finland & the Axis partners' armies in the meantime though!)
Got it
