This is my interpretation of a would-be Naval variant of the Thunderbolt.

Notable differences include a diverse weapons package, featuring enhanced missiles and rocket pods, the downward angling of the weapons pylons to ensure optimal launch conditions (the actual aircraft features this in real life) during an attack run, enhanced maneuverability for ease of handling at low speeds as well as stronger airbrakes and strengthened landing gear for carrier landings, and finally, a black paint scheme, because I absolutely love black.

As you would doubtlessly know, this isn't my creation, and I gotta hand it to this plane's creator, he did a friggin awesome job in replicating this piece, like seriously, bless this OMG. Those flaps and shell casings are really ingenious.

The activation groups haven't changed at all, and the trim is reversed since I find it easier that way. Nothing else has changed, for more information I suggest clicking on the original aircraft.

Note, this is not to be confused with the creator's two seater night variant.

Enjoy.
