THA-X2 Blitzableiter Mk.3

21.0k LieutenantSOT  4.0 years ago

In the year 2035, shortly after the Thunder Hawk Initiative began, the THIM realized that it needed a long range heavy missle/bomb ship. This plane was quickly designed and began construction shortly thereafter.
Equipped with 4 5,000 HP turboprop engines (contra-rotating) as well as two turbojet engines, this plane can sustain a 400 mph cruise at sea level, and a 400 mph cruise at 40,000 feet. Its maximum speed (in a dive) is 530 mph. Though not very fast, this aircraft can pack a punch.

Weapons:

  • 9 500 pound bombs
  • 1 10-mile range cruise missile (Cleaver)
  • 2 Interceptors
  • 2 100mm autocannons (explosive shell, ground; 200 ammunition each; ground-facing)
  • 1 machine gun (rear-facing; can shoot down planes or missiles)

Controls:

AG1= Drogue Chutes
Trim= Flaps and Trim
Brakes= Airbrakes and Brakes

I hope y'all enjoy!

SIDE NOTE(S):

  • This is the third model of the plane I have built, and this one certainly is the sexiest. I mean, just look at those turboprops.
  • I am not good at bomb bays, nor can I even build one yet, so this does not have one.
  • It goes a tad slower than I thought it would XD but the fuel efficiency is amazing

Anywhoozles, I hope you all like it!
