Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt

The AG-10 is a close air support (CAS) aircraft and boasts a 37 mm eight barrelled AP-T, HEF-I shells. The plane is equipped with the unique eight semi-gliding “HotHead” bomb, four long range “AfterShock” air to surface missiles, and three Boom 25’s. It is also equipped with two advance short range air to air missile Owl ASRAAM to defend against unwanted aircraft.
Our first 1.11 build taking inspiration from the A-10 Warthog, it isn’t the same plane. “The Platypus,” was named after the AG-10’s odd tail shape, resembling a platypus’ tail made to improve aerodynamics along the tail and increase tail surface. The plane had a top speed of 643kmh, 400mph, or 347kn, and a stall speed of around 100kmh, 62mph, or 54kn clean. Like the Warthog, the Platypus has at least two sets of control surfaces and can survive lots of hits before going down. The highly efficient engines are mounted up high and protected by the heavy duty wing against ground fire. Coupled with the double vertical tails hiding the heat signature, the AG-10 is hard to lock on to from the ground.
