FALOTI Corp Flying Boat 'Big Hoss' [Sector Control Compatible]

Description
FALOTI Corp wargaming clarified a need for a long-distance oceangoing reconnaissance aircraft that could operate independently OR synergistically with regional corpofleets. A twin engined flying boat was designed and a mockup built and conceptually the CEO approved of the design, but insisted that a gun be added. What finally entered service became known affectionately as "Big Hoss".

Powered by two naturally aspirated radial engines and armed with a semi-automatic battlecannon as well as four machinegun positions, 'Hoss' spread the wings of FALOTI Corp far and wide across the oceans and would prove his worth during the opening moves of the Hamburger Wars, effectively tracking shipments of hostile frozen patties and locating hidden bun bakeries in the scattered atolls of the south Pacific.

Generally considered easy and forgiving to fly, if a bit slow, 'Hoss's armament allows him to deliver a powerful punch while also being able to land anywhere on the water's surface to repair and re-enter the fight.

-----

This is a fun flying boat I made last year and updated a bit to make it more user friendly.

It features several AI gunner positions which can be used in the Sector Control server as well as player controlled turrets, making this a terrific multi-crew aircraft. Its mouse flight control allows for gentle and easy flying and aiming of the autoloading battlecannon in the nose while your friends spew lead at enemy aircraft from the machine guns.

Enjoy!

Judging by screenshots, it has a very good buoyancy. Mine is too heavy. Water covers navigator's porthole.
