SchArCo Dibo C-11
Another entry for Pufferfish0745's challenge, as requested. The Taphisthan Navy was experimenting with different ways to bomb from carriers. Fighters with bombs was effective, but it slowed them down and created drag, so a dedicated bomber was deemed the highest priority. They also were testing a new concept called "dive bombing" where the plane goes into a steep dive to accurately drop its bomb on relatively small moving targets, ones that level bombing would find hard to hit like ships and other vehicles. SchArCo gave Taphisthan a new design to add to its carrier decks. The dive flaps (AG3 VTOL up) slow the aircraft down and makes it easy to control and aim while diving down, but if you go below around 1,200 ft before retracting them back, you might not recover in time. The folding wings (AG2 VTOL down) makes stowage on the carrier easy and compact. Tailhook (AG1) is calibrated to stop the aircraft without damaging the prop. It also has a tail gunner (AG4 and VTOL) to help defend the aircraft. This aircraft contains 2 cannons and 2 MGs on the wings to provide a little extra firepower. The bomb pylon was canted by 10 degrees so the bomb would miss the prop, without using a complicated trapese. This simple rugged bomber was instantly loved by it's crews who flew it, and maintained it, and gave the Taphisthan Navy exactly the accurate and effective bomber they needed.

I didn’t add it to the description because I didn’t test it before hand but it also works with torpedoes, just got to angle the X dimension by 10 degrees and add it on the pylon
I founded a downside to your plane (but its funny and Im not angry at all.).All triplanes in Taphisthan are easily destroying the dive bomber.(Ta 1 triplane,SchArCo TWF 1 Acrobat and Ta 1 triplane seaplane.)
Yours is the first plane to use second taf symbol(The first one is white in outside,yellow in inside,second is the opposite.
Dont worry,the tail is looking like a symbol
That’ll make a lot of aircraft lol, oh and I remembered the insignia this time, but forgot to color the tail gun@Pufferfish0754
I will give SchArCo five plane factories in Taphishtan.
Thanks, since I already made a dive bomber previously I took the knowledge of the dive flaps and transposed it to this one@Pufferfish0754
But I will not give point for this,because THIS IS SO GOOD TO GIVE POINTS I WILL SHOW EVERYONE WHEN THE CHALLENGE FINISHES.
So good I want to cry.
