Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's Push-Pull Prop Challenge (CLOSED)

Entry for WinsWing’s Push Pull Prop challenge, the SchArCo Trident. A long range maritime patrol sea plane, with ability to carry 4 torpedoes or small bombs. Having 2 large wings, and large amount of fuel, it can loiter over any battlefield for hours, then has the teeth to sink enemy ships if it needs to. The Trident uses 3 Push Pull props, and can lose one to damage and can still make it home. For takeoff, have trim all the way down and throttle at around 60%, also needs a little right rudder, likes to veer left in the water for some reason. Enjoy striking down your enemy ships in the Trident.

    This is nice, but I feel like this would get shot down instantly if you tried to sink a ship.
    Edit: I have tested this and I do get shot down in a few seconds
