Douglas A-24 Banshee by Uncle T

My version of the Douglas A-24 Banshee USAAF dive bomber.
It's an approximation, not a 1:1 replica.

This is the same plane as my Douglas SBD-5 Daunless but with a different paint scheme and this version has no arrestor hook for carrier landings since it was land based.

It's armed with 2 machine guns in the engine cowling, 2 rear machine guns manned by the radio operator, 1 1600 lb bomb under the fuselage released with a bomb cradle to avoid the propeller, and 1 325 lb bomb under each wing.

Alt controls to fly.
W/S: Variable throttle.
A/D: Yaw and ground steering.
LUp/Down arrow: Pitch.
Left/Right arrow: Roll.
X/Disable steering: Landing gear.
Hold X/Invert steering: Air brakes.
Fire action 1/Num 1: Machine guns.
Fire action 2/Num 2: 1600 lb bomb.*
Fire action 3-4/Num 3-4: 325 lb bombs.

Rear machine gun uses Alt controls.
Up/Down arrow / Mouse: Aim up/down.
Left/Right arrow / Mouse: Aim side to side.
Fire action 1/Num 1: Fire.

Camera 1: Rear machine guns for better visibility.
Camera 2: 1600 lb bomb so you can check your aim.

* To dive bomb approach at altitude (400+ metres), reduce throttle, apply air brakes, go into a steep dive (60-80 degrees), aim and drop the 1600 lb bomb. A green light in the cockpit will indicate the bomb's been released and it's time to pull up. The cradle will fall off after a few seconds.
Don't forget to retract the air brakes!
