Short Sunderland

A fully functional and realistically scaled replica of the British-made Short Sunderland flying boat.

The Short Sunderland was a flying boat developed from the S.23 Empire. It was used primarily as a patrol bomber and anti-submarine plane by the British during World War 2.

This version has been modified to carry more offensive weaponry and can therefore be used in Minecraft as a support gunship, medium bomber, and anti-ship plane.

This schematic should be Movecraft compatible if a craft file can be written for it.

Crew:

This plane is operated by a crew of 8 players in the following layout:

2 Pilots
2 Cannoneers (1 gunner and 1 loader)
1 Frontal gunner
1 Bombardier
2 Tail gunners (Upper and Lower gunners)

Can be skeleton-crewed by as few as 4, but not recommended.

Weapons and Armament:

Main gun:
1x Obsidia M15 Self Loading Howitzer.
A Semi automatic TNT cannon with an effective range of 70-100 blocks. This weapon was not installed on the original Short Sunderland.

Frontal Armament:
4x Fireball HMG.
Automatic dispenser machine guns Installed on the upper half of the plane, fire controls are behind the pilots' seats.

Defensive Armament:
3x Fireball HMG.
These tail guns are pointed backwards and are fully automatic. Lower half has 2, upper half has 1.

Anti Ground Ordinance:
4x Automatic Carpet Bomb Dispenser.
Four fully-loaded dispensers of TNT. Used for carpet bombing ground targets, ships and submarines.

Additional Notes:

> All weapons can be loaded safely from the inside of the plane.
> Crew quarters is in the lowest part of the plane.
> The plane contains 8 sets of custom armor and weapons for basic use.
> Contains 3 Command Blocks at the pilot's interface.

Place on airfields, in mid-air or on water (5 blocks or deeper) near coastlines for best effect.

IMPORTANT: Several blocks such as Stairs, Dispensers and Droppers may not rotate with the rest of the schematic if it is rotated, mirrored or flipped.
