THe AB-3

The AB-3 was the mainstay Carrier bomber of the navy during the late piston age, it was a 2 man plane(although usually only one with additional fuel tanks in place of the second) Maneuverable but not to fast, it had a powerful armament and could be used for many roles such as; level bombing, dive bombing, torpedo bombing, and as a heavy fighter. it stayed in service
with the navy for quite a while until being replaced by jet fighters.

Armament:
4x15mm cannons/Heavy machine guns
4x20mm Cannons
this varient
10xRS-3 Unguided Rockets
2x100Kg Bombs
1x250kg bomb

Controls:

-Ag1 for canopy
-Ag7 for arrestor hook
-VTOL for flaps (should also be used as trim ,if you want to fly this plane without having to fight it at its highest speed you will need to have the trim (flaps) set to just a tiny bit nose down)

please enjoy!
