Railgunner uses the same bomb-flinging technology used on Bombsight. 8 forward-facing modded pylons allow you to fire bombs straight ahead faster than actual bullets. The moment you press the trigger, you'll see the explosion where you're aiming. The bombs are armed in two groups, one for each set of wings. AG1 for the top row, and AG2 for the bottom. Also, AG7 will ignite your second set of engines for added speed at the cost of a doubled fuel-consumption rate. Use those when you need to make a getaway. As a plane, Railgunner handles pretty well. Its characteristic box-tail improves stability and control, while the biplane design improves overall wingloading. Just be careful when you unload bombs, the center of mass shifts considerably as you fire them. You'll find you'll be able to snipe faraway targets with ease using Railgunner. The bombing targets level should be a breeze. EDIT: Just did the bombing mission. Beat it with 428 points! TIP: put something on your screen where the crosshair should be since your gun is disabled for that mission.

@gamer506 That's an issue I notice on occasion. Generally, avoid firing the bombs while maneuvering quickly. Keep it nice and level, and don't jerk while firing, and it should be fine. It could also be framerate messing with collision detection. A possible fix would be deleting some bombs and moving the rest over so they aren't cramped against the plane.
Another possible cause is airblasts. Sometimes the bombs randomly explode while in flight. This usually occurs at distances greater than three miles, but sometimes they explode right away. Again this is probably caused by framerate.
Another thing to consider is the plane was made on Windows. I have no idea how any of my planes perform on mobile. This is likely your problem, as all your creations were made on Android.
Kept destroying itself after launching bomb. Epic design though.
