Description:
B 256

The B256 is a 3 crew bomber based on the B20 and the Bloch M.B. 131
its fuselage is very narrow, with wide and rather thick wings. Two wingmounted engines contained in pretty large nacelles are able to power this aircraft to up to 80 Metres per second, but still make it possible to stall if the pilot is careless enough, or tries to pull harsh manoeuvers.

its a heavily destructible bomber, with somewhat realistic physics. Its wings, nose, tail, and fuselage can either break apart completely, or can be damaged and holes will be very visible.


top Speed
80 m/s

Weight
~5.7 tons

Range
to infinity and beyond, its electric and uses a bit of help from a glitch

Cost
~69.000 (nice)

weapons
9 dumbfire bombs (dropped in a series of 3 each, so 3 drops in total), 1 front facing mg for bombardier, 4 rearfacng mgs operated by the roof gunner, 2 front facing lacs controled by pilot for cas


How to start:

on ground:

  1. throttle up to 1
  2. pitch up slightly so you dont hit your long fuselage on the ground
  3. enable the engine key (acceleration is immediate!)
  4. once in the air disable starter and retract gear

Notes

  • you have an infinite amount of fuel, BUT when damaged, the battery can drain extremely quickly
  • no refeuling, no recharging
  • bombs can hit fuselage, but usually dont do anything if they do get stuck
  • the aircraft shouldnt be used to do rapid maneuvers, or even turnfightng. Its a bomber
  • loosing the tail does not auomatically cripple the entire aircraft.
  • if one engine gets "lost" or is damaged, the aircraft will enter an unrecoverable spin. to exit safely, turn down throttle and turn the "enable engines" button off. Then open the cockpit and jump. Oh! and dont forget your parachute below/ behind the pilot seat (:
