This fictional WWII aircraft is a mix of Consolidated PB4Y-1 Liberator and Avro Shackleton. It was designed in 1943 to be used both in the Atlantic and Pacific theatres with its main job being patrolling for submarines and light shipping convoys. However, the aeroplane could be used as a heavy bomber with its large bomb-load. In areas with little enemy fighter cover, it could also be used for close air support with its twin 40mm cannons in the nose. These guns were optimal for anti U-boat missions. It has one manned tail turret for defence and one remotely operated turret which could be aimed forward for ground attack.
VTOL always moves 40mm cannons
AG1-4 to release bombs
AG7 to open bomb doors (VTOL up)
AG8 to move turrets (VTOL)
Armament:
6 x .50 MGs
24 x 500 lb bombs
2 x 40mm cannons
shoutout to @SSSvaSSa for the cannons I used on the front!
If anyone wants a mobile version let me know and I can simplify it. Reducing the bomb load helps the most
