The KW-73B Heron is a medium bomber designed with the role of area bombing or close air support for friendly ground troops. The bomber has access to 12 750lb bombs and countermeasures. It was designed quickly as the NJB corporation only learned about the design proposal near the end of the competition by the Krakabloan-Wright Government.
The Heron
The plane is simple in design, and meant to only be applied in the intended role, and has some kinks that need to be ironed out, such as over pitch during violent maneuvers. Other than some other minor short comings, the aircraft is on par with all other contemporary medium bombers. The aircraft does not have a conventional bomb-sight, but a computed bomb-sight.(AKA just use the game, please)

All cockpit controls are in-game through the instructions tab.
That’s probably all, really cutting it close to the deadline though.
