The Entire History of the A-40 Havoc II

All Variants, All History

I would say grab some popcorn, but you might laugh because I'm awesome at making jokes (that was joke), so just sit back, relax, and prepare to r e a d

The Very Beginning

The A-40's story starts a long, long time ago. And by a long, long time ago, I mean two months (at the time this article was made in on April 25th). I was simply scrolling through the Newest tab of aircraft, and happened to run across this...

The Most OP Aircraft Challenge, made by TheMouse (at the time known as Mousewithamachinegun123). Upon seeing it, I was hesitant to join- just kidding. I knew I could make something overpowered, so I joined ASAP and claimed the title of one of the first submissions. I think :shruggie . To say the least though, it was... decent. Not great. But decent.

In retrospect, I'll admit that the short nose was not the best idea, Majakalona was right about that.
Anyways, the A-40 Havoc II was, at the time, my finest aircraft. Fun fact though, it was originally going to be called the VOID, but I chose Havoc II in the end, and I regret nothing. Havoc II sounds much more realistic, reasonable, and less edgy than VOID, also a bit more appropriate since the A-40 causes so much mayhem mayhem.
Alas, though, the A-40 (now the A-40A) didn't do well enough, so I was determined to do it again. My solution? ANOTHER A-40!!! The A-40B to be exact. There was just one issue:

I was quite tired, and my brain was empty in terms of ideas to improve the A-40A, which was, to me, the most overpowered aircraft at the time, aside from some game-breaking aircraft.
But after about 2-3 weeks of procrastination and being idea-starved, I finally put my mind to making a new and improved A-40 Havoc II that would exceed the competition. And guess what? That was the first time I realized; if I run out of ideas, take a break, come back later, and you'll build something unstoppable.

This was the birth of the A-40B Havoc II. This was truly one of the most overpowered aircraft ever built, with bombs of fury, missiles of doom, and a lot of guns. The A-40B claimed top spot in the competition alongside Speedhunter's Erusean Sea Vixen, and then the A-40B could finally be at peace...
Again, kidding. The A-40B's release was kind of a celebration, full of hype, excitement, energy, clout, you name it. The A-40B was basically jumping around after I made a legitimate successor to the A-40A.
In fact, we were all so excited about the A-40B, that I had the nerve to make an absolute monster.

The A-40S Havoc 69, the Final Boss of the Ohio Skies. No, this isn't an actual S-model A-40, the S stands for Skibidi, the 69 is legitimate though- it took 68 tries to get this thing to fly for more than 5 seconds, with the 69th test being the only "successful" one. This abomination can barely fly, but that doesn't matter. It's sheer existence is enough to mortify anyone, be it out of fear, confusion, or disgust, and the fact that it can fly at all only makes things worse for whoever is on the receiving end. The A-40S Havoc 69 was intended to be a joke, but instead...
...it would be known as my last post before the infamous Monarchii War.

To catch everyone up on the Lore, the Monarchii War was a war between, mainly, The Monarchii, a massive group known for their incredibly powerful Navy, and the MGLA (lead by TheMouse). The war started when the head of The Monarchii, who is in fact named Monarchii, stole a machine gun from TheMouse, who at the time was known as Mousewithamachinegun123, except it was changed to Mousewithamachinegun122 following the theft. Mouse took this personally, and declared war on Monarchii. CrestelAeronautics was the first external source of the war, siding with mouse, but I joined in shortly after, and with the A-40B still hot on the heels of release,
It came as no surprise that the Havocs were released.

In little time, A-40Bs were dispatched to help fight for the MGLA. Somehow even the A-40S saw combat. They proved absolute juggernauts during the early war, decimating many targets and obliterating anything in their path. In spite of their destructive nature, though, the A-40Bs weren't involved with two of The Monarchii's biggest losses: the destruction of the Snowstone Ice Base and the end of the Monarchii Fleet.
In spite of this, the A-40Bs caused massive damage. There was just one issue, and to put it short; Geneva Convention. Most OP weapons were banned later in the War, and for this reason, the A-40Bs saw little to no combat from there, only serving patrol missions around the MGLA's Yeager homebase.
At one point I almost made an R-40B, a reconnaissance version of the A-40B, but the idea was ultimately cancelled, as I thought that the A-40B was meant to be an unstoppable gunboat, and taking that away would be no different than the already existent ban on the A-40Bs, so the R-40B doesn't exist.
Eventually, the war was over, and now the A-40B could finally rest...
And of course, I'm kidding again.
As it would turn out, the Most OP Aircraft Competition had a new king.

Meet Moebius, the Moebius-circle UFO that surpassed the competition. I'll admit, it's quite cool and powerful.
But I took it personally.
Of course, I couldn't let the A-40 fall behind, especially after all it did during the M-War (or at least tried to, post-ban). As such, there was only one solution, and you can probably guess what it was.

The A-40C Havoc II Super! At first, its appearance looks very similar to the A-40B, but closer inspection reveals many differences. I won't go into them now though, point being, the A-40C, just like it's predecessor, proved a worthy successor and defeated everyone else in the competition, and currently holds first place. Will you defeat it? Join TheMouse's Most OP Aircraft Competition before May 10th and find out.
However, this is where the A-40C, after all its evolution and service, can finally rest...
Sort of. The A-40C can absolutely rest until my bro turns it into an anime girl or something like that (no comment). The A-40B however? Back on the fields again. With MGLA members CrestelAeronautics and FOXHOUND26 going to war, the A-40B is likely to see service once more. There is a potential ban on some superplanes, but even then the A-40B will likely find a loophole and at least make it to the battlefield. However, time will tell... time will tell...

As of July 10, 2024, yet another aircraft has arose, that being the A-40Si. Built to hunt Sirens, a powerhouse that may show its worth in time...
