The F - 27 Archer

This aircraft is a 4.5 generation multi - role fighter built for the United States Navy, named the F - 27 “Archer”. It may not look so special on the outside, but what really makes this unique is the fact that is has what is basically a shield in the form of a particle accelerator. Not only can it be used for defense against enemy SAMs, but it can be used as offense against grounds targets, and in some cases, air targets.

Activation Groups

AG1 opens the cockpit
AG2 activates the left engine
AG3 activates the right engine
AG4 arms the particle accelerator
AG5 arms weapons/countermeasures
AG6 activates the arresting hook
AG7 ejects the pilot seat
Deactivating AG8 jettisons the missiles

2x AGM - 14 Hatchets
6x AIM - 12 Arrowheads
