(I KNOW I’M THREE MONTHS LATE BUT LEMME MAKE THIS)
Yeah, I’ve made this for the last 3 years, and it’s grown quite a story with me, y’know...? I finally decided I should make this a proper fighter jet with... missiles. And since I LOVE Ace Combat, I decided it would be fitting to make an AC7 version of this thing... Well, here goes nothing:

Backstory

After the Lighthouse War, the Osean Federation had become aware of the threat the X-02S could pose against normal aircraft. Despite the fact that Trigger had shown that it was possible to take down the Wyvern with any aircraft, it required tremendous amounts of skill, and the X-02S was a plane reserved for the top aces. Only after some intel, the idea of the Bronco emerged, as a dedicated air-to-air fighter. Composite materials and secret weight-reducing techniques were pushed to their limits, creating a fighter jet which was able to pull turns no other aircraft could perform, and having a top speed beyond the OADF’s wildest dreams. The problem was, creating one of this machines required a huge amount of money and time, so much it would be impractical. Only three aircraft were made, reserved for the highest aces in their respective units.

Armament

MSL x6 Interceptors (would be x142 in-game)
GUN x3600 (rapid fire)
EML x32
(Optional SP weapons: QAAM x20 or 6AAM x60)

Other things

Top Speed (at 40k feet) is of 3100mph, in a straight line. EML can one shot any ground target, but sadly isn’t that practical in taking down aircraft, and the minigun has unlimited ammo. Wing shape has been updated and miniguns are also nerfed in damage (for the sake of realism). Cockpit design is updated and has a crosshair (which for some reason glows in the dark, yay)
