147k Pilotmario  8.9 years ago

An unarmed variant of the Pummeler Attack, it is optimized for low-mid daytime reconnaissance. To achieve this, all weaponry has been removed and cameras are installed. In additon, it is painted sky-blue to help camouflage the aircraft against the sky. As a result, it is faster and more maneuverable than the Attack variant.

The type was replaced as a strategic reconnaissance aircraft with the introduction of the Dart Recce. However, due to the parts similarity with the Pummeler Attack, they were moved to Close Support wings to locate targets and damage assessment, a role which it is still used to this day.
