The Mk 22 Centaur is the latest (and by far, the greatest) Centaur model available, with a 2,200+HP engine, redesigned wing and placement, tail-dragger configuration to reliably fit the beefier engine, and four custom-built high velocity 23 mm cannons to add the icing onto the cake. Has superior maneuverability, firepower and speed to previous models.
Drawbacks include difficulties landing, slight issues with rolling during maneuvers and worse energy retention than previous models.
DO NOT ENTER SLOW MOTION ON THE GROUND!!! AND BE CAREFUL LANDING!!!
Statistical Information (brief): Note that the climb rate and turn time are not reflective of in-game performance, and are set to have some form of realistic setting to them.
