This one was FUN to play with, I took her after Tiny instead of having to bug out after one pass, I was able to make perhaps a dozen runs on her. I finally managed to score a torpedo hit since I've been back and managed to put 3-4 of the rockets into Tiny's hull. That accounted for about six passes including abortive ones. After that ... OMG ... those guns level a devastating barrage of fire! A two or three second burst from the dorsal turret and other forward facing guns resulted in explosions in the bow, deck and superstructure. I continued to make passes on her even after she started to list heavily to port. After it was all said and done I still had 60% fuel but I wanted to test her landing characteristics. Like the others I tested today she has a fairly high landing speed and even then I think I came down a bit too heavy for the gear to compensate. She lost her props but otherwise I was able to land safely. You know what they say - any landing you can walk away from is a good one! This bird is unconventional in the extreme in that she has two turrets on such a small airframe and that interesting X-Wing like layout that gives her a startling rate of roll for an attack aircraft. In any event what's important is that she has a unique look, devastating firepower, an excellent speed for a prop driven attack aircraft, she's a very stable gun platform and most importantly - fun to fly! Another excellent build!
