Description
Impotent note!!

When spawning the bomber it automatically activates the flight aligner, press "7" to turn it off

Engineered by Trinity Combat Dynamics.
The Asio Flammeus is a high altitude cluster bomber made to hit high priority targets such as, HQs, Outposts, convoys, and hostile land crawlers. its armed with 2 cluster bombs (32 warheads each) and when droped from high altitude, they will start to spin and detach 4 warheads evry second to create a large spread of 32 lethal warheads before hitting the ground.

It uses whips free-fall predication script allowing you to accurately drop the bomb right at the target when on the move, note that it is less accurate when flying above uneven terrain

It is also armed with a few Gatling defence turrets.

Bombing instructions:

When reaching the recommended bombing altitude (1000m - 2000m)
align ship in front of the target and press "1" to activate bombing mode, when bombing mode is active, the gravity aligner script activates, bombing bay hatch opens and the main engines powers to max, make sure to wait until ship reaches max speed and avoid turning or side thrusting before droping the bomb ( "4" to drop a bomb)

Note that the free fall predication camera is less accurate when flying above uneven terrain

I didn't read this before I tested it out. I didn't hate it but I always felt it was underpowered

Now I know why

I wasn't high enough for the cluster bombs to seperate. This'll be fun to experiment more with.

In survival, no so much, it uses lots of subgrids which you cant build from projactors,
That is the same for the bombs.

Convoys and armored formations for sure, but also effective aginst singal large targets like outposts and land crawlers
