BTD-1 Destroyer

90 Lancerasd  7 months ago

BTD-1 Destroyer is an American carrier-based dive/torpedo bomber during late WW II. It is intended to replace the slow SBD Dauntless and SB2C Helldiver, although it never saw combat. It is capable of blowing up your target with bombs in its internal bombbay or shred it with twin wing-mounted 20mm cannon.

Controls:
AG 1/Switch on starboard side: Wing fold/unfold
AG 2/Lever on the left of front panel: Bombbay door (also activates bombs and auto divebreak)
AG 3/another switch on starboard side: Arresting hook
AG 4/switch next to landing gear lever: cabin light on/off
AG 5&6/Levers on the lower right of front panel: jettison left/right pylon in bombbay.

Operations:
Takeoff: Flap is automatically deployed when air speed is below 220KPH and landing gear is extened. Tricycle gear means no need to worry about damaging your propellers. Just full throttle and pull back and you will be airborne!

Landing: Reduce the air speed to ~190 KPH right before touch down. Cut the throttle beforehand to make sure your propellers are idling when you touch down. You may need to pitch down slightly to compensate for the flaps. You can brake at full power once you are on the ground.

Divebombing: Make sure you have opened the bombbay door as otherwise the bombs will not be activated. Dive at full throttle when you are right above your target. Dive break will engage automatically when your pitch angle is <-60 degrees and bombbay door is opened. This will bring your speed between 550-600KPH. Take your aim and release the bomb. Once you pull out of the dive (pitch angle >-60 degrees) the dive break will automatically retract. If the bombs are damaged and can not be fired, use the emergency bomb release lever on the lower right side of the front panel (AG 5&6) to manual jettision the load.

Have fun diving!

    @Eeeeeeeeeeeeee Then you'll have to wait a bit as I go through my projects. Turret aiming can be tricky.
