77.9k Cedy117  9.2 years ago

Ac1 for torpedo Ac2-3 for bombs The Fairey Barracuda was a British carrier-borne torpedo- and dive bomber used during the Second World War, the first of its type used by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm to be fabricated entirely from metal. It was introduced as a replacement for the Fairey Swordfish and Fairey Albacore biplanes. It is notable for its role in attacking the German battleship Tirpitz and known for its ungainly appearance on the ground.

    @Cedy117 it's really unstable and goes into a flat spin way to many times

    I don't think it would do anything because it needs a bomb inside of it to explode I built this one before the weapons came out @WilhelmScream

    @cedy117 no problem I really like your planes (mainly because of the amazing cockpit views) also the fact that I know you put a lot of work and time into these planes. :)

    Fantastic detail just a little surprised you didn't try to make the wings fold too as that would have been sub zero cool.
