Gipsy King
The Gipsy King is perfect for taking down destroyers, CIWS ships, aircraft carriers, and similar large vehicles thanks to its ability to fire three salvos of four Inferno air-to-ground missiles. This makes the Gipsy King a very flexible bomber: one Inferno can be used for small vehicles, or four Infernos at once to minimize the number of passes over the enemy (and therefore exposure to fire). Listening to Gipsy Kings while flying this plane is highly recommended.
Weapons:
12x Infernos
6x Guardians
2x Interceptors
1x minigun
Countermeasures
Controls:
1 - lights and gyro
2 - laser (live and persistent)
3 - drop guardian pylons
4 - fire four infernos
5 - fire four infernos
6 - fire four infernos and drop inferno pylons
7 - drop wingtip missiles
8 - deactivate missiles
Tips: Four inferno missiles will destroy many boats in SimplePlanes, so chain firing four at once eliminates the need to wait for a target lock for each missile. This vastly minimizes exposure to enemy fire as only one pass will be necessary to destroy the target. Note that "Firing four Infernos" starts from the innermost missiles. Therefore, if you've already fired individual missiles from any of the three chained groups of four missiles, that many fewer than four will be fired. Fire group 6 last as it will also drop all Inferno missile pylons. Unused missiles will be lost, so fire in order: 4, 5, and then 6.
Production notes: This plane is among the first I created in SP. I've decided to upload many of my older planes in case anyone finds them useful. Interceptor and Guardian lockTime set to 1s.
Have fun!
