BBA Explains the Airplane Designer
 

How to deploy Airplanes

These photos will help you do that:
 
 

1. First, we must enter the Strategic Air Mode. You can do this by pressing F3 or at the bottom right of the screen
    
    
    
   
2. Select the airport where you would like to have the aircrafts. Once you have chosen the airport, click on the Add New Airwing button.
    
    
    
   
3. Select the planes you would like to add to the airport
    
    
    
   
4. You can click the 'OK' button to proceed.
    
    
    
   

 
 
 

What is an Airframe?

The Airframe is a chassis that is used to support a tank. It is also the base for the plane. On the airframe are all the important items for a plane such as the weapon and bomb bay, as well the engine or jet engine.
 
BBA has the following:
 
 

• Small Airframe, which could include the Fighter (and CAS. However, you can only make one aircraft with the Interception and Air Superiority missions. You should choose one from Air Superiority and one from Interception).
• The Medium Airframe can be a Heavy Fighter, Tactical Bomber and Naval Bomber.
• The Large Bomber Can Be Both a Strategic Bomber And a Naval Bomber
   
   
   
  

 
 
 

What is the Thrust?

The thrust refers to how fast your plane can go. It can be modified by engine or other modules. If your weight is greater than your thrust, your plane will not be able take off the airstrip.
 
Example:
 
 

 
 
I have 65 Thrust, 35 Weight and a fast takeoff. My plane can reach speeds of 950 km/h ((590 miles an hour)).

Modules Special

Photos of Special Modules, and what they do:
 
Extra Fuel Tanks:
 

 
– The plane's range is increased by using more of its internal space for fuel. However, it is also more flammable.
 
 
Drop Tanks
 

 
-Disposable tanks with small fuel tanks give our fighters an extra range while on offensive missions. They can be dropped before combat so they don't hinder combat performance.
 
 
Armor plates
 

 
-Steel plating in the area of the engine and around the pilot seat gives the plane greater resistance to ground fire attacks from behing.
 
 
Self-sealing fuel tanks
 

 
-Adding a layer of rubber around the fuel tanks does not cause an airplane to be crippled. The tank will seal itself over time and prevent fuel from being lost.
