CV 301FX Bunker Concept
Skill Level: Medium
Credit to original designer CptJacobson, this concept was kept to be true to it's original design, which was very good, and add some extra features. It is not a slow fighter so don't let those props fool you, and now for the lore...
In 2262 the Central Vortex command needed to increase the versatility of their heavy support fighter. Long bombing missions made the 301 series an excellent fighter for flights from Wright air base, but there was a need for carrier based missions as well.
Echo Advance Systems or EAS built a concept fighter to give the 301 the ability of VTOL as well as a tail Gunner to help the survavbility of the already proven airframe. The wings were given extra armor to protect from gun fire which was a common weapon used by enemy forces at the time. In addition the flying wing was given a compound geometric wing design and more power to support it's VTOL capabilities. In 2263 the first concept took flight over Avalance air station. The craft was painted with bright orange accent in case it had to be recovered.

@CptJacobson Glad you like it, and definitely will check out the rest of your aircraft too. Good chance there'll be some more EAS prototypes in the future for the CV fleet.
