Pummeler A-1D REMASTER
(1) activates cannon. (2) activates machine guns. (3-5) releases ordnance. Another remaster of an RP favorite, this plane is merely prettier, and retains much of the same flying characteristics. The A-1D Pummeler was a cannon-armed variant of the A-1B Pummeler, trading four of its eight 12.7mm M26 machine guns for four 30mm M8 automatic cannons. Although slower-firing and less powerful than the M9 cannon, the M9 cannon at this point could not be reliably fitted in the wings of a Pummeler. The Delta Pummeler was also converted into a two-seat aircraft for electronic warfare, the EA-1D, as well as a two-seat training variant, the TA-1D. The A-1D series proved very popular, and served for over 100 years in the Paternian Air Force, before its replacement by the more capable A-1E, A-1F, and A-1G Pummeler. Although declared obsolete by the Paternian Air Force in 2071, the aircraft contineus to see service in its many forms in the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force (locally built as the A-1D-J), and the Salish Air Force (locally built as the A-1D-S).

Great! @ErvenDynamics
@ErvenDynamics That will be about P$1.5M, or US$7.5M.
It's a cheap plane.
How many? @ErvenDynamics
@Treadmill103 Thanks!
@GoldenEagle This was the Pummeler which made its name a living legend. A name which every man, woman, and child has learned to respect, whether they love it or hate it.
I think the A-1D is still in Salish and Japanese service.
I don't think that Meme understands that MBT-2s have more than 8,000mm worth of frontal armor . . . .
