Mitsubishi G4M2d w Torpedo 1.3 by Uncle T

FOR VERSION 1.3!
This is my version of the Japanese Mitsubishi G4M2 bomber.
It's an approximation not a 1:1 replica. The nose and the rear gunner's position is what I can manage with the bricks available, but at least it works.

This is the G4M2d version armed with 5 20 mm automatic cannons (I had to use 4 x machineguns since the bigger gun I normally use for automatic cannons is way too big to fit) and it carries a payload of one type 90 torpedo.
Quite often the Japanese did away with the bomb bay doors and instead framed the opening with a metal plate depending on what payload was carried, like in this case.

The front cannon should be in the nose cone but I just can't get that to work ok and look ok so I put it under the nose and it's remote controlled from the bomber's seat.

The plane is a bit nose heavy at low speeds with the torpedo, so be careful when taking off.

Alt controls to fly.
W/S: Variable throttle.
S: Ground brakes.
A/D: Ground steering and yaw.
Left/Right arrow: Roll.
Up/Down arrow: Pitch.
X/Disable steering: Landing gear.
B/Beacon: Fire in port engine.
K/Hazard lights: Fire in starboard engine.
Fire action 1/Num 1: Drop Torpedo. A green lamp lights up in the cockpit when the torpedo is dropped. *

Automatic cannons: Alt + arrow keys/Mouse and Fire action 1/Num 1, controlled from their respective seat. **

Cameras: Bomb sight, then each gun in sequence front to rear for better aim.

* For the best chance of getting the torpedo to go more or less in the direction you're aiming go low (<20 metres) and slow (< 220 kph), nose slightly up when you drop it. The engine will ignite after 2 seconds (since there is no way of detecting the water surface I have to use a timer instead of Proximity or Altitude) and travel hopefully towards its target. But since this is Brick Rigs there are no guarantees. It has a proximity fuse in the nose that should help it explode when hitting something.

** A note about the new small hinged actuators: they are sadly not strong enough (even when made of steel or tungsten) to withstand the recoil from the guns, so I tried to add two notches - one for first burst, the lower one for continued fire. I still chose to use them rather than the old big ones to save space.
