Swarm version (multiple spawnable at once) here

  • The Defensive bombers series’ aim is to make killing AI bomber targets 10x more difficult, because fun is not allowed. This is done by giving them the ability to shoot back at you >:). All bombers have a semi realistic armament with semi realistic ranges, muzzle velocities, and firing arcs.

    The Messerschmitt Me 264 was a long-range strategic bomber developed during World War II for the German Luftwaffe as its main strategic bomber. The design was later selected as Messerschmitt's competitor in the Reichsluftfahrtministerium's (the German Air Ministry) Amerikabomber (America Bomber) programme, for a strategic bomber capable of attacking New York City from bases in France or the Azores.
    Three prototypes were built but production was abandoned to allow Messerschmitt to concentrate on fighter production and the Junkers Ju 390 was selected in its place. Development continued as a maritime reconnaissance aircraft instead.

Notes

  • Just giving some more attention to the German side of things, next 2 builds coming up should be the HE-111 and Lancaster revamps, and then the IL-2/TU-2.
  • These were a tiny bit rushed while I was sleep deprived making them at 2AM, so if there are any bugs please let meh know

Enjoy getting obliterated!
