Description
Whiplash Manufacturing Inc. Shortbow Bomber Mk. III
This is a modification of DarkExcalibur's Longbow Bomber. Check his original version out :)

Description
The Shortbow was conceived when engineers saw the need for a "Longbow" type bomber that could be easily manned by a single pilot. The secondary cockpit was removed and internal systems were redistributed to reduce the bulky frame. What resulted was a sleeker, faster, and more agile weapon delivery platform. The Shortbow is equipped by default with four [4] Armour Piercing Unguided Torpedos (APUTs). Each APUT contains a proximity fuse that disperses a payload of 10 one-tonne stones when in range of a target, leaving a devastating effect on target. The Shortbow is capable of carrying a number of missile variants on its missile pylons allowing it to be outfitted for specific scenarios and targets. Although she is primarily intended for long range engagements, the Shortbow is fully capable of defending herself. With a suite of 4 gatling guns and 2 rocket launchers, the Shortbow can lay the hurt on any foe who mistakes her for an easy kill.

Features
  • 4 Armour Piercing Missiles
  • Docking camera to aid in refueling procedures
  • Fully conveyored
  • Redundant power systems in the wings
  • Frontal targeting camera for long range bombardments
  • "Reverse Thrust Cluster": All backwards facing thrusters can be toggled on/off to permit use of inertial dampners to reduce lateral drift without decreasing forward velocity
  • No mods used :)

I did a quick test just now in creative, against the relatively puny defence of 2 large heavy armours, and it seems to work fine :)

I have absolutely no idea XD

I think it should since it only uses timers

Does this currently function?

:) I am glad you like her! Unfortunately a recent update rendered the missiles near useless and as such, I should have a new version out on Friday :D

@Free Hugs: Thanks! But I can't take all the credit, I used DarkExcalibur42's "Longbow" as a base :) I like your username!
