Description
B57-RB

General Info B57 Canberra: The Martin B-57 Canberra is an American-built, twin-engined tactical bomber and reconnaissance aircraft that entered service with the United States Air Force (USAF) in 1953. The B-57 is a license-built version of the British English Electric Canberra, manufactured by the Glenn L. Martin Company. Initial Martin-built models were virtually identical to their British-built twinjet counterparts; Martin later modified the design to incorporate larger quantities of US-sourced components and produced the aircraft in several variants.

B57-RB: the B57 RB is a fictional version that can do reconnaissance as well as carry a full load of bombs. It is equiped with a state of the art Camera equipment and Radar and Two Way Radio System.
It is entirely fictional, as I wanted to give the WSO something to actually do

IMPORTANT NOTES

  • The aircrafts fuselage cant withstand too many hits, but in some cases it can survive quite some damage
  • it can act sluggish, be carefull when diving and pull up before its too late
  • if you go too slow and turn to quick it will flatspin, throttle up and control against the movement of the plane to make it stop
  • Fuel at Maximum Throttle lasts 15 minutes, go slower to preserve fuel!
  • This isnt a fighter, but its vertical pitch speed can be massively increased by using the flaps

@TheRFSystem its not very high. Certainly not high enough for a plane to be carried beneath
Try looking for something like a Stratofortress or B29s
those should work better for your purpose
