LAY DOWN HURRICANE OF RIGHTEOUS FIRE & BRIMSTONE ON THE DAMNED!
And then drop a load of care packages over them in case any survived.

Not so simple to operate, but when you see a barrage of Boom 50’s taking out a convoy or fleet, from afar, it is worth it…
- AG1 to 4 to activate the engines.
- Throttle for thrust (actually its propeller pitch).
Cockpit view - nose turret (used for missile targeting in any direction).
Camera1 - Cockpit view.
Camera2 - Gun turret.
Camera3 - Cannon Sights (used for the Boom 50 auto-cannon).
Camera4 - Cannon sighter (1st Boom50).
Camera5 - Care packages.
AG5 - Activates VTOL and TRIM for Cockpit targeting + In game targeting and missile system (COCKPIT VIEW).
AG6 - Activates VTOL and TRIM for Gun and Cannon targeting (CAMERA 2 or 3) - Turn on Air to Ground fire. Fire cannon using weapons system.
AG7 - Drop care packages (Landing gear down to open rear bay).
AG8 - Turns off FLAPS and TRIM adjustment. Turn this off when AG5 or 6 is being used.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The basic idea is to set the plane to slowly circle a target giving you time to take aim and take them out. This is done by slowing one of the engines.
Step by Step Instructions:
1. AG1 to 4 on.
2. Throttle 100%
3. Head to target area (aim for the right side area - approx. 2 to 4 kms distance).
4. Altitude around +3000 ft.
5. Level out, deactivate AG 2 to 3.
6. Decrease Throttle for AG1 to start circling.
7. AG8 off, AG6 on.
8. Switch to Camera 3.
9. Use VTOL and TRIM to aim.
10. Place the green dot dead on the target.
11. FireWeapons (fire the Boom-50’s) to shoot using in game air to ground system.
12. Deploy countermeasures as needed.
Other: - Use the Cockpit view and AG5 on (AG8 off), to rotate and target any enemies, either air or ground.
Notes:
- 20 Boom50 shell’s loaded.
- Option to replace the external tanks with cruise missiles, as needed.
- “-LandingGear" for landing lights - off when land gear is raised - finally!

“Hey what's going on guys, it’s ya boy; S A T A N”
Hehehe, just a little bit :) @PlanesOfOld
Jeez this thing is OP.....
@GermanWarMachine Yes
@temporaryaccount Do you still have your latest version of the Rufe?
@temporaryaccount Its next....
By far the best plane created yet, amazing job!
@TheLatentImage See if this works:

Hmm.. like as said below, the flags probably have a 100 parts - let me see if I can make a lower part count version... @TheLatentImage
A bit too large for my device, but I was drawn in by the action shots you posted on the forums. Killer work here man.
@SpiritusRaptor your the exact definition of an SIMPLEPLANES God
If you remove the flags would that get rid of the massive part count because they are extremely detailed
A poem...
What an amazing plane,
But what a crash-y game
Mobile friendly?
@GermanWarMachine kinda... sort of... well actually not really... but its not some complicated really...
