The (smaller) Bomber HangAr Now with 3 more!

[Spacetraindriver]

I decided to remake my old bomber planes (and some new ones!) because idk.

But I made them smaller,  which look more propositional to Kerbals. And real life. Seriously, they are quite a lot smaller (irl) than I have expected!

(IDK about the B-24, that wasn't in the Boeing Museum. But the B-17 and B-24 have similar dimensions. Sooooo Yeah)

Special thanks to @Azimech for changing my I-beam propeller ways!

American Bombers!

Koeing B-17:

Crew: 1 pilots, 3 gunners

Engines: 4

Armament: 12 Oscar Bs (I think)

Capable of flying without 1/4th of its wings!

Koeing B-29

Crew: 1 pilot, 5 gunners

Engines: 4

Armament: 16 Oscar Bs

Konsolidated B-24

Crew: 1 pilot, 4 gunners

Engines: 4

Armament: 12 Oscar Bs (I'll add more I think to justify its larger size compared to the B-17)

Korthop Krumman (X)B-49 (XL)

Ok, this has a lot more bombs than it did. Its a XL model  

Crew: 2

Egines: 6 Jets (Well technically that are all jet aircraft but this one is modeled a ACTUAL Jet aircraft so... Umm...)

Armament: 1 Turret and 30 Oscar Bs ?!?!

(Yeah it can destroy the R&D, which I might test my other ones actually...)

Korthop Krumman TBD Avenger

Crew: 1 pilot, 2 gunners, 1 radio/radar operator/ bombardier/navigator..?

Engines: 1

Armament: (X*) Bombs, 2 turrets

 

 

*Bomb load still being worked out

British Bombers!

(I based the size of these on the size of the other planes both in game and in real life)

First up, my favorite plane in War Thunder, the Vickers Wellington!

Crew: 1 pilot, 1 Navigator, 1 bombardier, 3 gunners

Engines: 2

Armament: One Cookie (6 Oscar Bs in one...so 6.)

Avro Lankaster

Crew: 1 pilot, 1 Navigator, 1 Engineer/Gunner, 1 Bombardier/Gunner, 1 Tail Gunner

Engines: 4

Armament: 2 Cookies

Short Stirling

Crew: 1 pilot, 3 gunners

Engines: 4 engines

Armament: 2 cookies

(I'll add the turrets later, I made this one at 10:00 Pm)

Germans:

Kienkel He-111

Crew: 1 pilot, 4 gunners, 2 Others (IDK)

Engines: 2

Armement: 2 turrets, 8 bombs

Catalina STILL WIP. It can't takeoff from water.

Just added the British Bombers! What planes should I make next?

[Majorjim!]

I love the Wellington! This is a really nice collection of aircraft, great work man. 

 

[Spacetraindriver]

Added more! I have plans but still need ideas for planes...Hmm... Stuka? Helldiver? 

[Azimech]

That's a very nice collection and you've put a lot of love into them.

However ... since you've already chosen to make them smaller ... wouldn't it be more satisfying to chose engines & nacelles accordingly? Looking at the real B29, it looks like the engines/nacelles are roughly half the diameter of the fuselage.

I can show you an example if you like, just made myself a mini-B29.

Well the whole propeller gimmick is based on the Wheselys reverser. So I kinda have no choice...But thank you! I would like to see how you did it. Unless I'm being an idiot and not checking if the Juno has a reverser. Also, you suggested the alternatives to the I-beams as well! Thank you, again. 

Also, pardon me for posting this so late, I was gonna post earlier but stuff got in the way.

Hmm, I'll try!

The Juno's are under the wings, I've clipped the fuel tanks together to give them the basic shape with the air intakes beneath the "engines". The "propellers" are the large solar panels. Obviously that doesn't work with 3-bladed props.

This plane has a seat for a single kerbal and no bomb bay doors. I just eyeballed the dimensions and shape so they're probably off. Also I didn't invest much time in trying to get the cockpit right. If you want the craft file, let me know.
