Auto Credit Based on mikoyanster's Counter Terrorist Challenge
This craft was designed to be an upgraded A-10. Built in 2036, the Sparrow was necessary for the Thunder Hawks' ground operations. So the Air-force built this craft. 2 HE 30mm Autocannons and a 15mm minigun (the latter isn't really 15mm in the game). Standard loadout is four heavy Boom 25s, 4 rocket pods, 2 guardians, and 2 heavy infernos. Capable of 560 mph at low cruise, and just over 730 mph at high altitude. Relatively short range, but can get the job done. I took out the USS Tiny, and the USS Beast, and the two destroyers in one flight. Also is STOL, so can take off at short notice. Hope you enioy!

(THIS IS NO LONGER THE PLANE I AM USING FOR THE CHALLENGE, PLEASE USE THE Mk.II!)
This aircraft is now officially a part of the Thunder Hawks and is no longer just Experimental. It is designated as the X5 and the THI needed a CAS aircraft. Just a heads up
The landing gear stay out so that if the hydraulics get damaged, it can still land. Also, the cannons take up the space inside the hydraulic area for the landing gear, this saves space for fuel in the plane
PS: the prop adds stability and the jets add the speed. Beware pulling up too hard, the wings will cause you to roll and go level again. You won't stall, though.
Also! Do you like the Thunder Hawks' plane logo? I made it for the first time it is in the 3rd picture
@mikoyanster do you want me to try and make a higher part count version?
Thanks @mikoyanster!
Thanks! @Planesdude
Sorry it is nowhere near 300 parts. I just don't know what I could do to the craft to get it to 300
