Bearstool Br.11 ‘Buxton’
Revolutionary in its day, the Buxton was one of the first bomber aircraft designed with an all metal construction in mind while still maintaining the range to strike far beyond a countries border. Its payload may be small by modern comparisons but it can still pack a punch from hundreds of KM away.
Features
130 knot top speed
Range at top speed – 460km
Payload of 14 "bombs"
Rotating gun turrets with "weapon fire"
3 part autopilot to hold plane level and maintain heading

Notes
The bombardier can control the yaw of the aircraft when heading hold is on.
Pressing the buttons available to them, they can adjust the heading by 1 degree with every button push.
Bombs can be dropped in 2 sequences, either 1 at a time or all at once. Toggle between them with the switch bombing sequence. By default, they drop in a sequence, turning the switch on drops them all at once when pushing the bomb drop button.
