Well, I’ve reached my iPad’s limits, and possibly my own.

After long delays and production issues, SAircraft's cutting edge heavy bomber is finally here. Capable of striking anywhere on earth in just a few hours, the SA B-3 "Bastion" is the next generation of heavy bomber, capable of carrying up to 96 small bombs in its interior bomb bay, as well as an array of other weapons on its stealthy bird-like wings and underbody. In its most heavily armed state, the Bastion carries 96x Boom 25 bombs, 4x Cleaver guided cruise missiles, 10x Inferno light A2G missiles, 1x MIK "Broccoli" 1 megaton nuclear bomb and 6x Interceptor A2A missiles.

@Mikoyanster - Broccoli bomb

INSTRUCTIONS:
VTOL up - open bomb bay
AG1 - afterburner
AG2-4 - carpet bombing rounds
AG5 - Broccoli nuclear bomb
AG7 - parachute
AG8 - lights

To takeoff: full throttle from either Wright or Yeager airport(bandit is too short), slowly lift up, retract landing gear.

To reach top speed: climb to 40,000+ feet, turn on afterburner. Should reach about 1,700 mph. Ceiling is 70,000 feet.

To carpet bomb: throttle to about 50%, trim down about 1 notch, open bomb bay, activate AG2, 3 or 4 while keeping steady. DO NOT FIRE ALL SETS AT ONCE, only after one has fully dropped. It is helpful to check the interior to see if all bombs have exited the plane, otherwise try adjusting bomb bay to wiggle any stragglers out.

To land: approach Wright or Yeager at around 250mph, cut throttle once over runway, open parachutes and touch down slowly. Brake lightly, as this thing can stop. Apologies for the ear grating noise and instability once on the ground, couldn’t find a way to fix it.

DO NOT CRASH, unless you want the game to crash with it.

Enjoy!
