Fighter - Centaur, Mark VI - A mid-altitude fighter reconnaissance aircraft possessing high speed, great maneuverability and packs a big punch.

The Centaur Mk VI has vastly improved maneuverability, armament, engine power and cooling over the older Mk IV model, ensuring peak performance from this aircraft.

Extra loadouts consist of provisions for a 37 mm nose cannon, getting rid of both machine guns to save a bit of weight.
