GCP-BMB Catfish
[Fictional story] This small, two-seater bomber was born with the purpose of anti-submarine aircraft. To complete that task it was equipped with a radar system and also a sonar. It was quite fast and very agile, however when the airships replaced the conventional, sea-based warships and submarines this plane became useless for its original role, so it was converted in a reconnaissance aircraft.
The take-off is quite complicate:
First of all you have to set the throtle on 100%, then, just 2 or 3 seconds you started moving, set the VTOL at max. Once you leave the water surface, set the VTOL on zero and deactivate the AG8 (The gyroscope). To land just activate AG8 and use the VTOL as you prefer to help you.
AG1: Drop bombs
Good fly :)

@ThomasRoderick Exactly
@GCPrototypes Well, of course, if merchant ships are now mostly airborne, submarines will most likely fall out of military use...
@ThomasRoderick Yeah, i know...but this is all fiction, maybe in an alternative story or in an alternative future airships became more reliable and powerful than sea-based machines, replacing them in many purposes, like commece and military roles...
@GCPrototypes cool.
Why would airships replace subs? I mean, they are still the most stealthy platform bar none and IIRC they'd still be better at commerce interdiction and nuclear deterrence...
@50CalChicken Ok, Thank you again:)
@GCPrototypes yeah, call me back here in a few minutes so I can spotlight.
@50CalChicken Thanks👍
@GCPrototypes This is pretty good.
@50CalChicken Thanks for the upvote!
