Introduction:
With the release of Cotheria from New Eastland reign, the Cotherian Navy was looking for a new attack aircraft to replace it's aging fleet of F-24s. Along with the F-24 being developed in the late 1970s and relatively outdated, it also was too large for the new Ambition Class carriers. With orders to design an aircraft to replace the F-24, Cotherian Aerospace engineers began to look at the A-2a.
Developed as a joint project with Cotheria and New Eastland, the A-2a was rather lackluster, underpreforming in its role due to poor speed and low maneuverability. Building upon the old aircraft, Cotherian engineers redesigned the A-2a into the A-2b, buffing the airframe, extending the wings, and more. The A-2b now faster and more maneuverable, serves as the main attack aircraft for the Cotherian Navy and serves with other nations in the world of Termacael.

Final Notes:
This build has been the many firsts for me, my first time making custom wings, first time with a custom cockpit, and first time making custom landing gear. It was made over the span of a month, with me making 8 versions over all. I am very proud of it and happy with how it turned out.
Btw the tail and elevators don't move because the way I connected the elevator and tail would have to be redone, something I don't have the will to do anymore. The WCO also doesn't have a detailed panel due to the thing already being 900 parts. I don't think my phone can handle me adding an addition panel to the build.
Thank you to all the testers and supporters who have given advice and criticism. Your insight has been very helpful and was what allowed me to hammer out all the kinks and stuff. So, as always, have a great day or not, the choice is yours.

Please stop calling it a jet bronco. Just because you are right doesn’t mean you have to say it :(
Looks cool I’m interested
now that you mentioned it
it literally looks like a dragonfly
About the same speed as the A-10, so I don’t see the problem with it. @11qazxc
Don't you think propellers will be more effective at this velocity?
Best jet y
