Quick demo - https://youtu.be/b9XDr9DBGB4


Features a Mk14 Holographic bombsight that calculates angle and trim based on your height, this Lancaster variant had all but the rear turrets removed. Drops a single 22,000 lb 'Tallboy' bomb, a behemoth of a bomb which hits targets at about 700mph when dropped from twenty thousand feet. Famously used to sink the Tirpez battleship, as well as numerous attacks destroying specialised targets such as U-boat bunkers and V1 launch sites.

P I L O T S N O T E S
CAM1 - Bomb follow
CAM2 - Bombsight
ACT1 VTOL DOWN - Flaps
ACT2 - Autopilot For Stable Bombing Runs
ACT3 - Lean back/forward
ACT4 TRIM - Bombsight Angle Computer
Fireweapons - Give em hell

Follow these steps correctly and you will hit anything.
Bombsight (cam2) requires you to choose your desired bombing altitude, ranging between 10,000 ft up to 20,000 ft.

ACT3 toggle lets you lean back in your seat.

Let's say you wanted to bomb at 15,000 ft. First, takeoff and gain altitude so that you are roughly at 15,000. You must switch on autopilot with ACT2, this helps stabilise your bombing run. Using ACT4 TRIM, adjust the numbered dial on the right down until the arrow is aligned to 15. When you reach maximum speed, the bomber should level off perfectly maintaining 15,000 assuming autopilot is on.

Correct your aim using light taps of roll left or right. Fireweapons to drop bombs.

If you are flying absolutely level at 15,000 ft, with the bombsight scoped in correctly, you should be able to easily hit whatever you want. Enjoy!

    Um the 22,000lb bomb was the grand slam I think. Tallboy is around 16,000lb I think.

    What I love the most about your creations is how simple looking you keep them, the minimal detail on your builds is what I feel makes them really unique, it shows that you don't have to go overkill with details to get upvotes.

    @Weaverfish some qeustions: is the bomb realy a tallboy or a grand slam (they look similar but the grand slam is bigger) also you wrote the name of the ship wrong (tirpez instead of tirpiz). but besides this it looks great.
