Another aircraft for the VSK series. This aircraft is a close air support/fighter. (still working on the backstories). Its a bit front heavy but it still flies very well.
Armed with two rocket pods, and 4 MGs.
This has my lowest part count yet.
Speed goes between 500 to 590mph

@SkrillEclipse Glad you liked it!
@WalkerAviation wow, cool!
This is the plane I've decided to write about, sorry I took so long to finally do it but I had exams to worry about.
[DEVELOPMENT HISTORY] After receiving much criticism about the VSKF-43 series of prototype bomber reconnaissance aircraft, the Eclipse Center of Aviation Technology decided to redesign the entire air frame. This new aircraft was to be designated the VSKF-12. The fuselage previously had been very wide, adding a lot of weight towards the front of the aircraft. While this extra space did allow for some extra internal fuel tanks, pilots often flew with the space empty to allow for greater maneuverability and speed. Only on long range test flights were these internal fuel tanks added. Because of the smaller fuselage design, many wing components were reworked as well. The horizontal stabilizer became more rounded while the vertical stabilizer was moved towards the rear-center of the aircraft. The VSKF-12 was much lighter than the VSKF-43, allowing it to use less powerful engines. Two General Electric TRJ-7 engines were installed, allowing the aircraft to reach a maximum speed of 590 MPH. Because of the lower airspeed compared to other fighter aircraft, Eclipse Center of Aviation Technology decided to re-purpose the VSKF-12 as a CAS and Ground Attack aircraft. When placed into combat testing, the VSKF-12 was launched from an aircraft carrier and assigned to attack a target vessel about 12 miles out. The test pilot, which had also piloted the VSKF-43, said that "the VSKF-12 has improved from the VSKF-43. It's much smaller and more maneuverable." Further testing is still to be conducted. The US Navy said that if these tests yield acceptable results, they will place an order for about 90 aircraft.
I hope you enjoyed reading!
I know that there is not only 3 ships but more, in the comment i forgot to describe the 3 ships, the 3 ships are 2 Cruisers and 1 Frigate that were with a carrier fleet, and the ship were sunk. And in the comment it was on the North Atlantic Theater. Those were the details that i forgot to add on the comment, because I am busy working on my W.I.P. plane and time constraints.
@Blazeinfinity The very long one?
