SF-44 "Flouker" Swing-Role Combat Aircraft

Brief history

The SF-44 reporting name ("Flouker") is an early Swing-Role Combat Aircraft which found capable of switching roles in a operation within seconds. The SF-44 can properly engage with fighters and bomb ground targets. First seen in operation Hasper, it bombed 3 ground factories and shot down 6 enemy fighters. The SF-44 was built to target sea and ground forces and fight back against enemy fighters. It was mass-produced as it was capable of multirole tasks and can be the main aircraft of the country, Espana. In 1943, it was used to patrol the south waters of Espana in a prevention of a attack on the south. It was also used to bomb shipments on the north of Atlantic ocean. It was also used to destroy the defences near the Atros border. It helped alot throughout the war as a multirole aircraft, it was also ahead of it's time since it used the Swing-Role ability which opposing fighters, bombers didn't possess throughout the ending war.

First flight of the aircraft was in july 16th 1940 at a Generic airport. It was seen to fly well enough and some flaws of the aircraft was fixed. One of the notable flaws of the aircraft was the lack of firepower the aircraft had, therefore, they added 2 more caliber machine guns on the bottom nose of the aircraft, it's engines was also revamped to be more fast and low-cost on fuel.

Following the fix of the flaws. It was now ready for general uses, first seen in action on operation Hasper, fitted with 2 explosive bombs. It was seen to properly withstand AAA weaponry and fighters. It can also be a reconnaissance aircraft of the war and spot enemy ground forces, sea forces. Though even it was a bomber, it didn't possess the turrets that was widely used on bombers. Therefore, it was mostly like an light-attack bomber rather than a regular bomber throughout the war.

As the war ended, it's face on the war changed many tides of the war, notably is the destruction of the border defences that crippled the Ecria throughout the war, and in the end was invaded by Espana forces.

Keywords

A Multirole Combat Aircraft (MRCA)

Is a combat aircraft intended to perform different roles in combat. These roles can include air to air combat, air support, aerial bombing, reconnaissance, electronic warfare, and suppression of air defenses.

Swing-role

Some aircraft, like the Saab jas 39 Gripen, are called swing-role, to emphasize the ability of a quick role change, either at short notice, or even within the same mission. According to the military dictionary: "The ability to employ a multi-role aircraft for multiple purposes during the same mission." according to BAE systems, "An aircraft that can accomplish both air-to-air and air-to-surface roles on the same mission and swing between these roles instantly offers true flexibility. This reduces cost, increases effectiveness and enhances interoperability with allied air forces"."[swing-role] capability also offers considerable cost-of-ownership benefits to operational commanders."

Ecria and espana are fictional countries build to support the lore.

Thanks so much guys on 700 points! Really appreciate it. I scrapped a build actually before making these one, I just don't have enough confidence on finishing it. Maybe someday I will finish it. That's all. Goodbye!

Have A Good Day!
