Tolmekian Bumblecrow

The Tolmekian Bumblecrow was a large cargo aircraft seem numerous times throughout Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, with slight variations. It's large size allows it to carry a couple tanks and company of heavily armed soldiers. However, in the film and manga, it is noted that these brigs are slow and rather brittle, which makes them easy targets. It is armed with an undetermined amount of MGs and antiaircraft guns mounted in the wings, cockpit, hull, and underside. It is powered by 4-8 engines mounted in winglet-like fins under each wing.

Here I have recreated these planes in Besiege, and I've made a couple changes for various reasons. I have only mounted the guns in the uppermost turrets, and shortened to wings to reduce weight and block count. It is recommended that you run this machine around ~30% speed. Since no tail is present on this plane, some controlling mechanisms are placed inside the hull. The pitch is also a little sensitive
