When the Kra'tian Burrowing Maw-worms attacked, the Westland Republic was forced to adapt. Specially designed for the role, the B-34 is a light attack bomber and reconnaissance aircraft designed to hunt down and target those Lovecraftian nightmares beneath the ground. Although it carries powerful munitions in the form of 4 x 500lb bombs and twin Gatling cannons, its true strength lies in the ground-penetrating radar and suite of sensors found in its voluminous belly, from which it takes its affectionate name (Bloater). It additionally carries laser targeting pods, allowing it to target ground contacts for friendly aircraft, ensuring any and all Kra'tians can be eliminated before they can assimilate us all within their Hivemind which serves the Dread Gods of Old.
VTOL: Flaps
AG 1: Drogue parachute
AG 2: Activate laser designation pods

@BogdanX The Kra'tian worms rely on telepathic detection of feeble organic life forms instead of radar. As such, the B-34 was not designed with radar profile in mind
