M.W. 500 Megladon (C.B.)

31.3k Mostly  7.3 years ago

This, ladies and gentlemen is the next generation of carpet bombing. This is... the megalodon. It is *technically* a monumental aircraft. I know it’s not too appealing to the naked eye, but it is still a work in progress. Bare with me. This plane may look small to be a carpet bomber, but it carries, wait for it... 32, yes, 32, boom 25s. This build was extremely frustrating; mainly because I tried to make sufficient optimizations such as lag and such. The plane can just barely crawl to the low 700s+, and can turn pretty well. The bombs were rescaled and were actually bomb racks adapted from @EternalDarkness M.Corp Vampire B, which were rescaled. That let me instantly save a lot of space, sparing the frustration. The plane has 2 basic bomb bays (which open simultaneously) The plane lags when making contact with the ground, mainly because the game does not know what to do with the modded bombs. You need to get to around 350mph to take off, so I suggest taking off at Maywar Takeoff or Yeager Airport. Glide at about 300 to 250 mph to drop bombs jam free.

Features: A sh-tload of bombs, two low caliber offensive machine guns (just for fun) fully functional ground steering system, and over 6k gallons of fuel for long missions.

Controls: Basic flight controls, VTOL up to open bomb bay.
