OVERVIEW

[b]
German Stringbag
I wanted to combine the German Heinkel He 51 and British Fairey Swordfish for a Deutsche torpedo bomber. Ended up ripping the top wing off early on and added lots of wires!
I aimed to make this as single-player friendly as a bomber can be.
[i]You can switch between the pilot and gunner seats mid-flight with a little leaning.[/i]
With just the flick of a switch, the pilot can let the gunner make their own flight control inputs. Plus, the gunner can see through a scope and launch the torpedo themselves!
Weirdly enough, this is Sector Control compliant.[/b]

Notable Stats/Features:
> Top speed of 170 knots unloaded
> Stall speed of 50 knots unloaded
> Enormous range on just 490 liters of fuel
> Can glide under the right circumstances
> 1 cannon with 200 rounds of ammo firing effortlessly through the propeller
> 1 torpedo
[i]Dumbfire/no-guidance - holds depth and heading![/i]
> 1 Pylon
[i]Currently loaded with 1x torpedo[/i]
Startup/Takeoff:
> Refuel tanks
[i]They spawn at a half-full state[/i]
> Turn ON "MAGNETO"
> Hold ON "STARTER HANDLE" until the engine turns on
[i]See pictures for location[/i]
> Close canopy
> Turn ON "RELEASE WHEEL BRAKES"
> Throttle UP and pull UP
Weaponry Rules of Thumb
> Cannon is best used against strafing larger ships to annoy them
[i]Low speed and a little hard to aim[/i]
> Torpedoes move at 110 knots and pack quite a punch
> Enable fine movements to align on targets
Rearming:
> Refueling is on the bottom of the aircraft, near the rear of the right wing
> While not a problem if you refuel all the way at a pump, when you get low on fuel, you will need to inlet pressure
> You can easily rearm suspended weaponry because, after the pylon is fired, the counter that controls triggering is reset
> Light autocannon ammo can be reloaded from the right side of the nose[/b]
