Auto Credit Based on Dinoairplanes's Ground Attack Planes Challenge [Closed]
Description
After the relative failure of the AS-14, Asteroid Industries decided to upgrade it but still keep the original design. Totally not copying off the F3H Demon, they added a refueling probe, inverted the slant of the inlets, reduced the armament to make it lighter, upped the power for carrier take-offs (not really recommended), and added a gun after realizing the impracticality of not having one. The B variant is the standard ground attack variant used by the Avlanchian Air Force and Navy.
