[PEA] Fairey Swordfish

90.6k Monarchii  1.2 years ago

Part-Efficient Aircrafts!?


exactly, Part-Efficient Aircrafts or PEA is my new project, aiming to recreate aircrafts with as little part waste as possible, but that is not all, no... my aim is to make them have a more better realistic performance and handling characteristics as opposed to semi-realistic that i once did(Aircraft ASAP, AI ASAP), potatoes rejoice!


The Fairey Swordfish is a biplane torpedo bomber, designed by the Fairey Aviation Company. Originating in the early 1930s, the Swordfish, nicknamed "Stringbag", was principally operated by the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy. It was also used by the Royal Air Force (RAF), as well as several overseas operators, including the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and the Royal Netherlands Navy. It was initially operated primarily as a fleet attack aircraft. During its later years, the Swordfish was increasingly used as an anti-submarine and training platform. The type was in frontline service throughout the Second World War.

[ Controls ]

  • Standard Aircraft Controls.

[ Guidelines ]

[ Takeoff ] :

  • Throttle 100%, trim full down, let it take off by itself.

[ Flight ] :

  • Standard control, flies and climbs like a torpedo bomber, don't expect much.

[ Landing ] :

  • during Approach, use 70-80% power, when near ground, cut throttle down to 50-40%, hit with tail first preferably; descend slowly, it has a hard gear(no suspension)

[ Armaments ]

  • 1x .303(7.7mm) Vickers Machine Gun on top right of the engine cowling
  • 1x 18" MK.IX Aerial Torpedo

[ Notes ]

  • the Aircraft Carrier I'm taking off from is the Target HMS Courageous i made like, a long time ago, which prompts me to this question, do you want to see them uploaded or not? there's like 32 ships and it has a lot of renowned ships like the Yamato Sisters and even Alicorn(yes, that Torres mthfkr), thoughts?

    @Boeing727200F yea lmfao. I would agree that it's part count is a bit Spartan and it's very unrefined, but it is what started PEA, yes XD

    @IslandSinker all things considered, I like Ark Royal's design, especially the flight deck rifle, steampunk always is a soft spot for me, the thighs though, garter and absolute territory of the original skin or the white leggings of the retrofit, both is gud


    Warspite is still my goddess though :3

    @Monarchii nah a squadron of newbie Swordfish pilots attacked Bismark irl, and Bismarks Anti Air did barely anything to the swordfish's cause they were made out of Kevlar, not metal
