YG-50

The YG-50 is an all-weather attack aircraft operated by SEA Military and the Pirates in Navy Simulator. The aircraft has a distinct image compared to the As-3A/B series with its 2 seater cockpit, tail-gun, and large wings.
== Usage ==
The YG-50's main usage is as an attack aircraft against both land and naval targets. As a multi-role aircraft, the YG-50 is excellent at strafing, glide bombing, and bombing runs (at maximum speed) in the fashion of a Schnellbomber. Secondary uses of the YG-50 are transportation or parachuting with its 2 passenger and gunner seats. The aircraft performs poorly as a fighter because of it's restricted maneuverability, and is inferior to the CB-O1 at bombing because of its minimal ordinance capacity. The aircraft has an inferior turn and climbing rate, and suffers from lower acceleration and top speed when compared to its purpose-built AS-3 counterparts. 
== Armament ==
The YG-50 has the most diverse armament of any plane in-game with its 4 separate weapon systems. Two 20mm MG/FF cannon and four 50cal AN/M2 machine guns are controlled by the pilot, in addition to the aircraft's 1200lb maximum bomb payload. Apart from the pilot controlled weapons, a dual 50cal gun is mounted in the top rear of the fuselage and is controlled by a gunner. 
== Trivia ==
* The YG-50 is based off of the famous IL-2 Sturmovik attack aircraft, one of the most mass produced aircraft in history.
* The YG-50 is often mistaken as a purpose-built fighter. It would be erroneous to consider the YG-50 as a fighter-bomber, as it checks all the boxes of an attack aircraft, and is itself based off of the most recognizable attack aircraft in history.
* When the aircraft was originally added, it had four 20mm cannons. It was nerfed shortly thereafter, as a YG-50 could easily shoot down most planes if they were caught flying in a straight line.
* New players often confuse the YG-50 for a JU-87 "Stuka"-type aircraft, a famed dive-bomber/ground attack aircraft.
* When flying upside down, if an attempt at dropping bombs is made the game will display a message saying the following message; "Oh of course, drop a bomb in your own ceiling. I bet that'll work out real well for you."
