Auto Credit Based on LegnaK's Second Global War Fighter Challenge!

For the Second Global War Fighter Challenge!

Year of Introduction: 1943
Country of Origin: Orusenda
Purpose of Aircraft: Dive Bomber

In 1943, the DB-01 was introduced to provide a heavy fighter/bomber in the naval war between Orusenda and Hon Kain. Where it lacked in maneuverability, it made up for it in armor, firepower, and speed. Pilots nicknamed it the “Fishtail” for its unusual tendency to drift during a carrier takeoff. While this did scare the deck crew quite often, most decent pilots could handle it.

    DB-01 “Fishtail”

    Handling, stability, agility: 10 points :: 6 Handles unlike the name would suggest,

    Realistic model and behavior: 10 points ::. 5 Plane behaves unlike I expected, it noses down heavily

    Details, paint and other: 10 points :: 3 All one color except for the roundel, boring

    Build quality: 10 points :: 7 only because lowering of the bomb with 6 was really cool and I haven't seen something like that before, other than that the design doesnt show much care

    Personal impression: 10 points :: 6 Pretty mid aircraft when it comes to looks, but the flight model backed up its looks.

    Description: 10 points :: 8 Little amount of background however there was more care to this and the context it brought up as compared to others, really enjoyed it

    Overall: 35/60
