Auto Credit Based on Jaspy190's D3A1 'Val'

Original build (By Blyatnov, modded by Jaspy190) here

Swarm version (multiple spawnable at once) here

  • The Defensive bombers series’ aim is to make killing AI bomber targets 10x more difficult, because fun is not allowed. This is done by giving them the ability to shoot back at you >:). All bombers have a semi realistic armament with semi realistic ranges, muzzle velocities, and firing arcs.
  • Wiki
    The Aichi D3A (Navy designation "Type 99 Carrier Bomber"; Allied reporting name "Val") is a World War II carrier-borne dive bomber. It was the primary dive bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) and was involved in almost all IJN actions, including the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Notes

  • Here's two relatively simple builds just to get literally anything out, sorry for the lack of uploads (as always) but I can't say I'm the most motivated/focused on this series right now lol
  • The Pacific war collection is growing, have fun fighting with/against this along with the other DB builds and heaps of IJN/USN LHI builds
  • It's 1AM I go sleep now

Enjoy getting obliterated!
