Bi-plane Float Torpedo Bomber by Uncle T

Description
Built a plane from scratch just to test a few things and yeah this too flies like cr*p unless you fly basically in as traight line and attempting to roll will make you lose all airspeed and go down sideways so yes, aerodynamics in 1.2 are not good.

But if anyone wants to try it out here it is. Not a replica of anything, just a slightly bigger bi-plane with 2 machine guns in the nose and a torpedo under the fuselage just for fun.
This one is obviously the float-plane version.

It's faaar too fast for a plane of this type but the extra engine power is needed so it's possible to actually turn without falling from the sky.

Alt controls to fly.

W/S: Variable throttle.
A/D: Ground steering/Yaw.
Up/Down arrows: Pitch.
Left/Right arrows: "Roll" (it really roll can't more than a quarter roll then it just stops and turns instead LOL.)
Fire action 1/Num 1: Machine guns.
Fire action 2: Torpedo. *
K/Hazard lights: Fire in the engine!

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.

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

Have fun!

Thanks for 1000+ subs! 😊
Sorry the torpedo is so unreliable... 🙄

Basically the torpedo is useless 90% of the time since so many random things affect it; everything from detonators releasing unevenly to random behaviour when hitting the water to random behaviour in the water. ARGH!!
You're better off using the bomber version. At least bombs fall downwards. Usually.

Not sure WTF is going on now. The torpedo all of a sudden frequently bounces of the surface on release and turns 180 degrees. That NEVER happened duting my hours of testing and now it happens on easily 40-60% of the tries. This game is F*ING NUTS!!!!! I'm so sick of testing things 100 times just to have it randomly f*ck up the next time I play. Aah yes finally a good release. Wait why is the torpedo not moving?! Why is it diving down ?!?! Why is it flying up in the air?!?!?! Why is it turning 90 degrees all of a sudden?!?! F*CK THIS GAME!!!

Added fire in the engine.

Weeeell the problem is that the planes just don't fly good. At all. And the sustem is so random it's impossible to trim or adjust a plane since one second you have almost no lift and the next you go into an infinity loop because you have far too much lift. It's a complete mess and I just can't be bothered dealing with it since it's no use.
Bi-planes for some reason serm to work a little less crappy so may build one or two more to test it.

all it needs its to explode in contact of ground and that the plane flies good

meh i don't realy care if they fall randomly

That's alright but, Till the aerodynamics are fix keep up the good work.

CapTech I most likely won't be building any new planes until the aerodynamics have been fixed. I don't feel like spending 20-40 hours bulding a plane that just can't fly well because the game is broken. :/

Hey Mean Greens just a suggestion but it would be really cool if you made a Wyvern S.4. Thanks.
