you propably forgot the brakes @zaku

IT SUCK because it just explodes when i try to take off

i wish this plane was outfitted with depth charges

This is actually goated, probably the best modded vehicle ive used

I have to be an absolute idiot. I literally can't even find how to get in.

amazing plane! just remember to turn off the parking brake before takeoff...

why does it have a bomb bay?

SHOOT THOSE F*CKING PT BOATS!!!!!

nice ill be taking out a lot of pt boats with this

bu it does not take a lot of damage to get it out of the skys

the best bomber i have in stormworks 10/10

lmfao this was my first war thunder bomber

I have always liked the pby and this is a fun plane to use. I only have two problems with it. 1 if u take off to harsh it blows up, I did this 10 times and 2 it is kinda hard to get into, I only say kind because I had to jump on top of the plane to get in. I then found the tail hatch. Other than that great plane, I love how easy the start up is and it can take flack very well, just not when torpedos are still attached lol.

Torps used were Sebastias', here they're fire and forget but configurable. Each torp's microcontroller block (bottom side of torp) has a depth & arming distance setting which I've set to 3m and default 1500m respectively. Could try lowering both on each of the four torps to strike the surface and activate from closer in. (e.g. 1m and 500m)

Oh, okay. Is there potentially anyway that the torpedos could be set do a depth when fired or they could lock onto another vessel on radar? I find it that majority of the time, my torpedos tend to go under the ship I am aiming for.

@Jack, bomb doors set to close at low altitude and when bomb isn't selected as the weapon. Should open if you fly higher and pick bomb as weapon.

I really like it, but my only issue is the bomb doors. They close automatically for some reason. It's real annoying especially when they don't open again.

@Kirbcake its beacouse you have parking brake on, button 4 to turn off.

The front landing gear can't hold the plane up so it clips into the ground upon taking off and explodes.

Will you make the VBY Blackcat version?

okay thanks

@General Dropkick - Thanks for picking up on this, I seem to have forgotten to connect the radiator fan 'on' connection meaning it would never cool , UPDATED: fixed radiator connection and have added temp gauges and endurance screen.

@Duck Ank - Not accurate at height due to drag over time, as such cross wouldn't do much for low altitude drops. The bomb sight I used is one of the few on the workshop and from what I've read on similar attempts drag issues seem to prevent accurate bombing calcs.

when i go to land, after i lower the throttle the engines catch fire. when i put the fires out and repair the engines they burst into flames again, even when turned off. am i doing something wrong, or is that just a bug?

is the bomb sight accurate
and can u add a cross in the middle for easier aiming?

UPDATED 14th Dec 2021
-Rear blister gunner hatches for even easier access when in the water
-More weight reduction especially in wings, reduced tail slightly
-Spare MG ammo for front and rear MGs
-Front gear now tucks into fuselage
-Cleared out plane aft, made front area full of player equipment for better weight balance and style points
-General detailing

Was flying and it just... exploded. For some reason lol

this is such a good plane.

i see

and what happen to the rear gunners

why is there no front gunner?

@Khunter - feel free to swap them up in editor, however the AI Gunner mod needs WASD reset controls to work unfortunately.

and the front gunner maybe but eh

Not trying to be demanding just that its a little annoying to aim

the guns (the side guners) should be on a look movement nad the wasd as the pivots reset 24/7

UPDATE - Added front and side machine guns for 3x total. Confirmed working with AI Gunner mod though multiplayer maps with the mod enabled only. Added more equipment for paratrooper role-playing.

please make the 2 side gunners?

@Vector Dan - Mebs maps/navigator functions in a future version. It'd be cool for co-pilot to be on weapons but since I play solo I like having everything on pilot seat :D

@ Knight of Eyes - Fortress bomber?

@ Kacix68 - Need to be gentle with take-off due to bombs sensor, if you mash the tail into the ground too hard it'll go boom. I tried mitigating with hardpoints but they added too much weight and space compared to sliding rail alone.

it can't takeoff it explodes after lifting nose up and kills you

oh yea these vehicles are rare in stormworks

Catalina is always nice

@inger.vilhelmsson
...it's a real plane

can you make to fortress bomber version

ohohohohohoho i know this it looks like the plane from cod waw blackcats mission im downloading this plane and aint deleting this BOI

Awesome. My grand father flew PBY's in WW2. Sick build

put 360 degree rotating front gunner and two waist gunners also you can use the ai gunner addon to automate shooting down enemy planes

Yes, everything is very cool, but you can make the co-pilot do something too?

Finally, a good pby

Thanks flint! Yeh its pretty bad against air units . Hoping if there's a mini automated MG system out there I can just slap it on.

i recommend adding some machine guns for defense against air targets tho
