Overview:

Model 231 was intended to be a highly flexible airframe with 2 main versions. the Echo and Foxtrot models designated "Ghost, and Banshee". Upgrades over it's Charlie variant is a great improvement on stability, larger intakes, working dials, and a functional canopy, that pushed forward to lock preventing it from popping out of place in a turn.

The ESF-231E is specialized in attacking ground units. Named after the unit from the game Halo series, and also alluding to it's stealth capabilities the Banshee built for "Fast and Low" attack runs. Thanks to help of an integrated AN/AAQ-33m, ATP or Advance Targeting Pod, the craft can hit target at 270 degrees of the aircraft flight path with its ground missiles. It's larger wings allow this craft to loiter in airspace, and dive down on to enemy units. It's mission is based around it's ability as a naval based CAS (Close Air Support) Platform.

Work has been done to reinforce the weapons bays to hold to additional 6000 lb. payload. Because this, the aircrafts tendency to roll when its cleavers are launched is greatly reduced, retaining a somewhat center of gravity. In addition, a larger delta wing configuration, and 4 additional wing pylons have been added for additional flexibility. The larger wings make the craft far more stable than it's Foxtrot counterpart, however it is not as agile, so dogfighting is possible, but it's not the going to be your best choice as comparted to the Ghost. The Foxtrot "Ghost" Designation will be released later on as a courtesy to the Simple Planes site algorithm.
