Armament

Type 91 Mod.3 Torpedo

drop requirments
GS 0-400kph
Altitude 0-400 meters
Pitch -40 - +40 degrees
But Japanese ww2 doctrine requires droping it at 5 - 50 meters in altitude

Type 99 No.80 Mk 5

You can drop it in any way but i reccomend level flight at 3,000 meters in altitude

For the AP bomb you can replace the torpedo with it because i was not sure with what armament to give it, also the Set the activation group to AG0

extra controls

AG
1 - Fold the wings(can also drop bomb accidentaly if you dont set the activation group to 0)
VTOL - down are flaps
Max VTOL down - Arrestor gear

Pls leave a comment on what I should improve on my builds, every feed back helps. Thx have a good day:D

Also pls do not use the mirror mode it will mess it up, this plane is not fully symetrical.

    make the Wing fold in putting xml code to you're hinge rotator to disableMeshBase true
    Make the max to 1.28 and min to -0 to be actually you can fold it
    Also vtol is good , but what if you added a rear turret and the pilot accidentally forgot to deactivate 1 , try using Active1 to the folders to not hinder the pilot , you can also detach both armaments and place them from the side with fixed activation ,and its up to them to mount what's need , you can also see my creation the Mi-to Type 0 SCAS KAI NI MODEL 1950 AND MODEL B IN MY PROFILE :D For reference my friend
