Grievous Goose
The Grievous Goose is the USS' mainstay seaborne light bomber. While most air forces in the setting have been able to move to more versatile fighter-bombers, the need for most of this faction's aircraft to be seaplanes has forced them to create a specialized bomb truck. However, it's specialization does enable it to carry more diverse payloads than fighter-bombers.
It's bizarre design is best likened to a tailless floatplane where the crew has been moved to the main float, thus leaving the fuselage to become purely a fuel tank. For it's size and power, it's notable for having a high payload of 4000 pounds, comparable to medium bombers of the setting. For offensive and defensive purposes, it carries 6 .50 caliber HMGs.
Keys:
1: Rear dual machine guns (control with Throttle and VTOL)
