SF - 1 "Orion"
So, unlike many of my other uploads, this time i'm gonna make a jet fighter. At first i would like the aircraft to be an air to ground fighter, but since it's relatively small, the wing loading is high as well, therefore i can't put guns all over the place like the A-10. The main design here is clearly based on the Ace Combat originals, the CFA - 144 Nosferatu (it is my main inspiration for this aircraft) In comparison to other jet fighters, this one is relatively smaller in size, therefore it can carry only 6 missiles. All the four air to air missiles are located outside of the plane while the two air to ground is in the weapons bay (press 1 and drag vtol bar up to open the bay).
And as a bonus, the rear wing can fully rotate by pressing 3, this is what I like to call as the sukhoi mode, this will make the aircraft turn really sharp, but at the same time really unstable (roll input is often denied while using this mode), SO USE IT ONCE EVERY TURN, DONT USE IT THROUGHOUT THE FLIGHT.
It can also do the cobra manoeuvre
