Piaggio P.108 A (Luftwaffe)

1,423 Heinrichlin  7.5 years ago

The Piaggio P.108 Bombardiere was an Italian four-engine heavy bomber that saw service with the Regia Aeronautica during World War II. the P.108A Artigliere "gunship" was developed for anti-shipping duties to supplement torpedo bombers. It was armed with a modified high velocity 102mm Cannon mounted in a redesigned nose. This was considered the most effective artillery piece in service, and in several versions was used as an anti-aircraft and anti-tank gun by the Army and the Navy. German forces took control of the P.108A and painted it in their insignia, but it was damaged soon afterwards by Allied bombing. Repaired by 7 April 1944, it finally flew to Rechlin where it was probably destroyed in one of the many Allied bombing raids.Nine P.108 Ts were used by Luftwaffe transport units until the end of the war. Open the Air to Ground mode and launch weapon to fire the 102mm Cannon. AG1+VTOL for two Dorsal turret AG2+VTOL for two wing turret AG3 for ventral turret AG4 for right side gun and left side gun AG6 for navigation lights AG7 for landing lights Attention:DON’T PULL UP TOO FAST! This is my first plane which made by myself. So it still has some problems. For example,when you do some drastic maneuvers, it's easy to get into stall and spin. So DON’T PULL UP TOO FAST!Don't do drastic maneuvers. Also, the landing gear is fragile. So, be careful to landing. You should landing gently and slowly. I wish someone can help me to solve the problems . At last, Have fun and enjoy it! (P.S.: the 102mm cannon made from the 50mm cannon which on the @M4A4Firefly’s Me-262A-1/U-4 , thanks! \(^o^)/ )

    Very cool looking airplane.
    You have done only one small mistake.
    Those glass cupolas on the back of the plane are the remote control stations for the wing mounted turrets.
