"Elude"

Despite the name, it isn't the best at dodging opponents.

But of course,

it's not impossible! The Elude is a pretty standard, all-around aircraft for the most part. You get two GEW-8A missiles and some bombs, as well as four 20mm cannons, but that's really it. Not gonna lie, there's little more to the Elude than that... it looks cool, I guess. It has a spoiler, like a race car! Oh, I should also mention the roll, it's a great roller.

Trivia

-The EF-3 really looks like a Sea Vixen for some reason...
-The "E" in the "EF-3" designation was intended to throw off spies. In reality it would be an "RF-3," as it can perform reconnaissance and combat roles rather than combat and electronic warfare.
-January 2nd, 1950, was the date of the Elude's first flight.
-Some people nicknamed the Elude "Sha" (short for "Sir Happy Accident") because an EF-3 once missed its bomb target only to unintentionally hit a hidden bunker which was later revealed to contain blueprints for an advanced nuclear missile. Shortly after, said bunker was captured by friendly forces (of the EF-3).
