A-13A Besiege

New TUPL Aircraft

A first gen... attacker?


Bridge landing? Easy.



Indeed it is.

So, here's a new old plane. Not much to talk about, except make sure to use the external cam when using the guns. Trust me, cockpit view is not good (it would look better in real life).

That's pretty much it, so have some pics.


Alley run, similar to Star Wars Canyon. Nice how Yeager has those trenches.

Top-down view of the Besiege.

I guess we takin' off now.

I guess we climbin' now.

I guess we interceptin' bombers now.

Fear me, mortals, for I have EIGHT airbrakes!

Fun fact: If flying at roughly 115 miles per hour, you can do a slight pitch maneuver, where the aircraft won't pitch up, but it won't fully stall either, resulting in something that looks like an AOA maneuver.

The A-13 was based on the A-26. Comically, though, I completely missed 13 being half of 26 when I was making this plane.

The A-13 played many roles: fighter, attacker, bomber, reconnaissance, weather monitor, submarine hunter, coast guard, firefighter, bomber escort, you name it.

The bomber escorting continues.

MiG-15 thought he could intercept the B-29... with the A-13 around.

RiP MiG-15.

    @KPLBall Yep indeed. In terms of the family line, it basically goes like this:
    A-20 Havoc
    A-26 Invader
    A-13 Besiege
    Despite the letter-number designation, the A-14 Outcast does not fit into this family at all, yet another reason his name is so fitting (oof but lol)
    A-40 Havoc II
    And I'll throw in A-52 since EMCA is basically the A-40's brother/sister, I still haven't decided which one yet XD
