A rather large build compared to my usual output. This bomber was just to see how much I could fit onto one plane. It carries 33 bombs all together. They can be dropped manually one at a time or all 33 bombs can be dropped in sequence by pressing AG1. Be sure to slide the VTOL slider all the way up to open the bomb bay doors before dropping your bombs. The bombs on the wings drop first so if youre dropping manually it shouldnt matter if you open them or not as long as there are bombs on the wing hardpoints. Due to the weird undercarriage, throttle up to max power, wait for the aircraft to pass 200mph before pitching up. I find that usually it wouldnt pitch up until hitting that speed but afterwords its very responsive in the air and quite stable. There is also a camera under the nose to give you a clear view on your target. Enjoy!

I just uploaded the second version of the bomber have a look! To be honest I didn’t notice the excessive amount of fuel and weight in the tail because it was a build I had made a long time ago and decided to finally finish. It was to my surprise how much weight was actually back there but I hope I’ve solved the problems to your satisfaction @Mustang51
@Ryan2001 sure thing! Just remember though that most of the weight comes from the added weight and the fuel at the back. If I were you I’d remove all the fuel and added weight to see where the CoM is then. Then adjust it to be decently in front of the CoL by adding weight to the nose. After that, add fuel but try to keep the CoM in the same place it was. Also on the bombs, try turning off the collision with the aircraft using the XML modder. You can also then make them release faster :)
It’s something I’m working on managing now, this was a build I did when I was messing around with the game and forgot about until now. The weight at the back is mostly because of the bombs in the bomb bay so I have to and am working on that. Also with the engines I found it went almost too fast for the bombs to fall from the bomb bay smoothly or else the bombs at the back would almost clog up inside even without the bay doors even on the aircraft. Thanks for mentioning the problems, be sure to check out the improved version of the bomber once it comes out :) @Mustang51
Not too bad but why add all the extra weight to the rear of the aircraft? Also it could definitely do with some more engines since it’s underpowered, especially for that weight
