Description
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 multiplayer (or at least two player) G4M2e Tei 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 Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka Model 11 piloted suicide bomb.
The bomb bay doors have been removed so the Ohka can fit.
It is also equipped with an air-surface radar, hence the antennas in the nose and on the sides of the fuselage.

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 Ohka onboard, 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.

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.

The Ohka uses Alt controls to fly.
Get in the Ohka's seat.
Tip: press and hold F1 to switch to the Ohka seat directly from the pilot's seat instead of going through them all with F1.

Fire action 1/Num 1: Release the Ohka from the carrier plane. A green lamp lights up in the plane's cockpit and in the Ohka when it has been released.
W/S: Cruise thrusters on/off. The real thing didn't have these but since gliding especially with tese tiny wings works so-so at best in the game I added thrusters so you can counter the huge speed loss when manoeuvring.
X/Disable steering: Main thrusters. These only burn for 8-10 seconds and was what the real thing had to gather speed after release before gliding towards its target.
A/D: Yaw.
Left/Right arrow: Roll.
Up/Down arrow: Pitch.

If you are solo-playing the bomber will usually fly decently on its own for a little while until you return if you go off in the Ohka.

* 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.

Feel free to edit, but if you re-upload publically in any way please acknowledge the original creation and creator.

Have fun!

Hope you like it. :)
I was sick of editing my old planes to work in 1.3 so... :D

Oh, I didn't expect it to be done so quickly....Thanks :)

I will make a remote controlled version of this so you don't have to leave the pilot's seat to fly the Ohka, but I'nm all built out now after building for a total of about 36 hours in three days (well mostly nights).
This still usually works fine if you go into the Ohka, hit what you're aiming at and then EXIT while dead and return to the bomber, as long as it's flying high enough and at a decent speed.:)
