Description
NOTE!
Since it's been more than FOUR DAYS and Steam Workshop still hasn't updated this plane to the improved version despite repeated attempts (I have no idea what's going on) I'll upload the new version separately. I won't remove the old one but this is the one you should use for better control and a new improved stabiliser like on the other two versions

FOR VERSION 1.3!
My take on the Swordfish bomber/torpedo bomber.

It's an approximation and not a 1:1 replica.

I made some cosmetic changes to the nose, propeller and a few other small changes as well as the paint job on this version. I also redesigned the torpedo a bit and reduced the speed to lessen the risk of it becoming a missile.
It is a very early build of mine so still rough in some places. :)

This version is armed with one forward-firing .303 Vickers machine gun, one .303 Vickers K machine gun in rear cockpit, and 18 inch torpedo under the fuselage.

Alt controls to fly.
W/S: Variable throttle
A/D: Steering ground/Yaw
Arrow up/down: Pitch
Arrow left/right: Roll
Num 1/Mouse 1: Forward machine gun
Num2: Torpedo * (For water!)

Navigator machine gun.
Alt + Arrow keys/Mouse: Control
Num1/Fire action 1: Fire

Camera 1: Torpedo view.

* Torpedo starts engine 1.5 seconds after drop and burns for 90 seconds. Go low and slow when releasing and keep the nose up a bit to reduce the risk of the torpedo going downwards.

If speed indicator on dashboard turns from green to red you are going too fast to drop the torpedo (sort of).

Top speed at full throttle is too high but necessary for being able to execute tighter turns since planes lose so much speed while turning.

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

Have fun!
