Eagle-Riders Squadron Dark Arrow

40.2k Typhoon03  5.1 years ago

History:
Although largely equipped with seven Sweepstreak Peregrines the Eagle-Riders display team of the Saltwater Air Force is perhaps better known for their aerobatic formations with three modified Dark Arrow attack aircraft.
.
They operate five of these aircraft, with two in reserve. The Dark Arrows have been fitted with smoke generators on each wingtip and on the centre of the trailing edge. This allows them to perform famous manoeuvres such as the "Double Helix Roll" and the "Pipe Bend Pass".
.
The five Eagle-Rider Dark Arrows are also used to display the performance and abilities of the Dark Arrow to prospective buyers. The three smoke generators makes it easier for observers to judge the aircraft's manoeuvres, direction and height.
.
During "full" displays with the seven Peregrines the Dark Arrows will perform synchronised manoeuvres and passes, including "synchro-pair" performances.
.
Instructions:
AG1 activates boost.
AG2 arms the smoke generators and flares.
AG3 arms the semi-nuclear cannons.
VTOL for vectored thrust.
Fire ROCKETS three times to activate all smoke generators at low power. Fire nine times for the best results.

    More like 2025. Anyway, many aircraft look futuristic (B-2, Ho229, Avro Vulcan, etc).

    That couldn't be more different from an aircraft cruiser.

    Would you like the Vengeance-class aircraft cruiser?

    Ok. Shall I upgrade your existing Pearl-class ships with extra surface to air missiles and torpedoes?

    The Zumwalt?
    Shall I modify the Pearl-class for you?

    @Parshainaerospace
    Why you should chose the Monument-class over the Deidara's cruiser:
    The Monument-class has more missiles, eight more large-caliber guns, better CIWS and has torpedoes.
    .
    Why you should chose the Pearl-class over Deidara's corvette:
    The Pearl-class has one less CIWS but has more missiles. It is also faster and there are already fifteen in Parshain Navy service, easing maintenance.

    @Parshainaerospace
    Would you like either type of ship?
    .
    The Vengeance-class is an aircraft cruiser capable of operating three VTOL aircraft whilst serving as an escort vessel or independent warship. It is useful as an air intercept picket, anti-submarine platform or a commerce raider.
    .
    The Willow-class cargo frigate is based on the Vengeance-class aircraft cruiser, but has had its hanger removed and the flight deck raised, creating a large cargo area. It is used for resupply in the combat zone, as a humanitarian aid headquarters ship and as a general escort vessel.

    Does your navy operate the Vengeance-class or Willow-class?
