A highly reliable dive bomber with a low enough part count that it should run on most devices.
Controls
- Custom camera 1: Cockpit view
- AG1: Afterburner
- AG2: High agility mode
- AG3: Release bomb
- FireGuns: Fire plasma autocannons
Dive-bombing Instructions
The general rules are:
- The longer your approach, the more time you have to line it up properly.
- The steeper the dive, the easier it is to hit the target.
For beginners, I'd recommend climbing to 20,000 feet or so, and approaching along the ship's centerline. Line up on the ship and when close enough, start a steep dive. Select camera 1 for cockpit view and keep the reticle aimed at the ship. Release the bomb at between 10,000 and 5,000 feet and pull up.
Note that using high-agility pitch mode while the bomb is still attached to the airplane will cause the airplane and the bomb to wobble, and will hinder aiming. Normal pitch mode (AG2 off) will do just fine.

@SledDriver Oh. It's cool anyway!
Extra neat!
Thanks, @ACMECo1940
cool
@Aeroman77 Nice. That makes me happy.
@Aeroman77 Let me guess... you got direct hits?
@KillerDread What would you like me to do with it? It's nothing like my build style, and I haven't built any boats/ships yet, so maybe I'm not the man to ask. EternalDarkness and Feanor come to mind as two leading ship builders on this site.
That makes two of us, @Aeroman77. Did you try dive bombing with it?
@KSPFSXandSP It's just two Boom 50s, scaled up by 3x. The "special" explosion happens sometimes, I don't know if it's random or whether it depends on where you hit the target. Either way, the Jundroo developers did that, not I :)
How did you do that explosion effect?
Hay sled heres a boat or ting I built can you improve and still make it mobile friendly .https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/7x2JrQ/laser-boat-v2-0
@DJ123 fun, OBS is the only FREE recording program that doesn't have a problematic time limit and watermark that I know of.
@Stellarlabs \/
ok rip
<1 fps
D:
@DJ123 nope
so i am on widows vista, any other ideas? @Stellarlabs
@DJ123 I recommend just OBS. Free and easy to use
alright and what software should i use to record? @Stellarlabs
@DJ123 yes
@DJ123 I use OBS Studio to record videos, and VirtualDub to convert them to gifs. But there are plenty of alternatives out there, I'm sure. A gif is just an image and can be posted like any other image.
@Stellarlabs \/
the extension is .gif then?
@DJ123 to make a gif you have to record something and save it as a gif file. But to upload one to SP you post it like a normal image.
how do you get gifs?
@Davisplanez You're not supposed to, you're a fairly new user :) Have you tried out this build yet?
