Are you tired of getting shot out of the sky by AA Missiles? Do you have problems with Anti Air tanks gunning down your engines at low altitude? Well, I have the perfect answer for all of your ground (and sea) attack needs.
Introducing the "Experimental Cannon Turret". This is a scaled-down battleship gun slapped onto an airplane. There are also countermeasures to lead astray those pesky missiles.
Simply reach a high cruising altitude, disable your surface controls, activate the turret control, and take aim.
AG1: Activating Wing Surface Control
AG2: Activating Turret Control
After reaching cruising altitude, disable AG1 and activate AG2. Use F5 to switch to turret camera. Small correction to flight path may be needed periodically.
Landing the plane will be difficult due to the weight distribution.
