R-352 Sepia (Ace Combat 3)

Read Description!! Controls at least. This plane has a lot of automated features so the programming maybe hard to read. If you insist on reading the programming for controls, only read information from docking station.

Details of this plane that you might want to know before flight:
1. Use controller for best experience.
2. This plane is 1:4 scale so it won't lag the server.
3. This plane is a space shuttle, meaning that it can fly both in atmosphere and space.
4. The weaponary includes a Neutron Beam (Laser cannon) and two Plasma launchers hidden in the weapon bay. The plasma launcher won't fire unless they are extended from the weapon bay. Plasma launchers were equipped with auto aim algorithm so you just need to hold down Ctrl for ful-auto fire.
5. Auto targeting will point the nose directly to the target (bot). When you hear the sonar beep, you can fire Neutron Beam for kills. However, some fine manual adjustments are still necessary for accurate shots.
6. It is recommended that you keep the counter slide on both in space and on earth.
7. If you want to change target type. Click on the weapon control CPU use distance to change the smart sensor target.

Back Story:
The space update was huge. So naturally I will plan to build something to fit the theme. Unlike most people, Star Wars has little impact on me. Thus, it is unlikely that I would build something that came from Star Wars. Then you may ask what I might build?

As you had seen, this is R-352 Sepia from Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. If you had ever heard of Ace Combat, you might not heard of the first three games of this series. That is because the first three games were running on PSX or PS1. Not many have ever played that platform. But fortunate me, that console was my childhood. I still can remember shooting down planes in Ace Combat 3 when I was only 5 years old.

So why would there be a space build from an air combat game? Because Ace Combat 3 has one and only space mission in the entire series. In that space mission, you are tasked to shoot down 4 satellites. R-352 Sepia is the only plane you can fly to complete the mission. The rear of this plane, as is shown in the thumbnail, is the first thing you will see at the beginning of the mission.

And as you can imagine, this mission is the mission I got stuck on because 5 year old me does not know how to fly in space. I always yeet myself into the atmosphere and fail the mission. This plane has left me with a very deep impression. That is why I think I need to build it in this game.
