[OLD] Echelon O-2 Banshee
UPDATE:
I tweaked the shape of the fuselage to make it look better.
ARMAMENT:
14x short ranged unguided air-to-ground rockets
4x medium ranged radar guided fire-and-forget air-to-ground inferno missiles
2x medium ranged radar guided air-to-air guardian missiles
2x long ranged radar guided fire-and-forget air-to-air interceptor missiles
Dual 50 cal. PAG Type-3 machine guns
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS AND ADVICE:
Do not pitch down too hard or too quickly while launching a missile or a rocket, otherwise it might collide with the craft mid-flight and destroy it.
This fighter was intended to be a short/medium range interceptor, so it does not maneuver very well. Try to avoid engaging enemies in actual dog fights.
Action group 1 illuminates the exterior lights.
Action group 2 jettisons the rocket pods.
Action group 3 jettisons the inferno missiles.
Action group 4 jettisons the guardian missiles.
Action group 5 jettisons the interceptor missiles.
Action group 6 jettisons the external fuel tanks.
Action group 7 deploys the arrest hook.
